Crystal Announces Partnership With Casino De Monte-Carlo

Crystal has partnered with Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer (SBM) to bring the world-renowned Casino de Monte-Carlo to sea.

This marks a new chapter for Crystal, offering guests an elevated gaming experience aboard Crystal Symphony, departing from Venice on November 14 and on Crystal Serenity in December.

The casino will also be featured on future oceangoing vessels and all new ships, except for Expedition vessels

“We are delighted to welcome Casino de Monte-Carlo into the Crystal family as our newest collaborator,” said Executive Chairman of A&K Travel Group Manfredi Lefebvre on the groundbreaking relationship. “This affiliation symbolizes our commitment to offering our guests the finest entertainment and gaming experiences available at sea. Together, we aim to create unforgettable moments and continue to set new standards of excellence in the cruise industry.”
