The expedition yacht Crystal Endeavor has returned to MV Werften’s Stralsund shipyard after completing a three-day sea trial in the Baltic Sea.
The extensive tests were launched on March 5 and were completed out on Sunday. The tests were aimed at verifying the functionality of important technical systems in service. Among other things, the propulsion system, steering and navigation were tested under real conditions.
After leaving the port area with the assistance of tugs, the trip went south around the island of Rügen and further into the deep-water area between Rügen and Bornholm. Another test run is planned for April. By then, interior work will almost be completed.

Crystal Endeavor, the German-built, PC6-designated vessel for Crystal Expedition Cruises, is on track to debut in the northern summer of 2021.
Originally set to launch in August 2020, the ship’s construction was delayed as the global COVID-19 crisis forced a shutdown of MV Werften, where
Crystal Endeavor is currently under construction.
The shipyard has reopened fully this year and Crystal’s interim president and CEO, Jack Anderson, is pleased with the resumption of work on the vessel.
“While we are certainly disappointed that
Crystal Endeavor’s delivery has been delayed, we are encouraged by the progress and dedication of the professionals at MV Werften and are looking forward to introducing this remarkable ship,” he said.

Crystal Expedition Cruises this week revealed that its highly anticipated new build, Crystal Endeavor, is now expected to debut in summer 2021.
The ship, which was originally set to debut in August of 2020, was delayed because of a shutdown at the MV WERFTEN shipyard in Germany caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The shipyard has since reopened and work on the ship has resumed and Crystal is optimistic that the ship will hit the water later this year.
“While we are certainly disappointed that Crystal Endeavor’s delivery has been delayed, we are encouraged by the progress and dedication of the professionals at MV WERFTEN and are looking forward to introducing this remarkable ship,” Jack Anderson, interim president and CEO for Crystal, said.
