Waterfalls in Akureyri, Iceland, where the Crystal Endeavor's passengers will overnight on its inaugural itinerary.
Crystal Expedition Cruises' first ship, the Crystal Endeavor, will launch service in Iceland in July, with five 10-day circumnavigations of the island.
Beginning July 17, the 200-passenger ship will offer round-trip sailings from the capital of Reykjavik with reduced capacity.
Bookings for the Endeavor's Luxury Iceland Expedition open April 13. The ship was supposed to launch last August. The ship's timeline was delayed by the shutdown of MV Werften, the German shipyard where the Endeavor is being built.
