Crystal River Cruises recently officially welcomed Crystal Mahler to its fleet in Germany during a handover ceremony held at MV Werften Shipyard. 

The second Rhine Class river ship was received by Crystal’s newly appointed president and CEO, Tom Wolber, and was then christened by godmother Laruen Barfield – an American volleyball star.

“Welcoming this stunning new ship to Crystal’s celebrated fleet is incredibly gratifying, as we continue to expand the celebrated Crystal Experience to a broader audience of discerning world travellers. Like her sister ships, Crystal Mahler surpasses all previously established standards of luxury in the river cruising industry, with Crystal’s signature service and attention to detail that our guests have long expected from the ‘World’s Best'”, said Wolber.

Crystal Mahler joins Crystal Mozart and sister Rhine Class ship Crystal Bach.

Sailing seven-, eleven- and 16-day voyages along the Rhine and Danube Rivers, Crystal Mahler will visit Austria, Germany, Slovakia, Netherlands and Hungary. Two additional Rhine Class ships, Crystal Debussy and Crystal Ravel, will join the fleet in 2018. They will have 106 all-suite, all-balcony accommodation.
