"From the world's most awarded luxury cruise line comes the world's largest and most spacious luxury expedition yacht, Crystal Endeavor," says the video announcing this ship.

Debuting in 2020, Crystal Endeavor will embark on 12 remarkable journeys in her inaugural season, offering guests all-inclusive luxury, and hosted by an eminently experienced expedition team of 25 curated voyagers.

The creators say "Crystal Endeavor offers an unrivalled standard of all-inclusive amenities and services, infusing each adventurous journey with bold innovation and elegant execution."

Featuring generous public spaces, a full-service spa and salon, six restaurants, a number of expedition rooms and elegant suites, the guests will be enjoying "critically-acclaimed cuisine and a generous pour of the finest select wines and spirits [as well as] insightful destination enrichment and expert-led conversations, [plus] nightly entertainment."

Planned journeys in our region of the globe include off-shore adventures around Australia's mainland, underwater explorations of the Great Barrier Reef, immersive explorations of Tasmania or the fiords of New Zealand, and an expedition to Antarctica.

At 20,000 gross registered tonnage, Crystal Endeavor will be the largest, most spacious purpose-built polar class expedition yacht, but limits guest numbers at 200.

It's being "Built to PC6 polar class specifications, with a sleek design, and anchor-free dynamic positioning technology, to explore the farthest reaches of earth," the video's narrator continued.

Proudly a product of Germany, it is "designed to the highest possible technical specifications for an expedition vessel," its creators say.

In addition to the on-board facilities, for exploration of the remote locations she will visit, the ship is equipped with a fleet of Zodiacs, kayaks, a submersible vessel and, most impressively, two helicopters.
