Crystal has introduced the Casino de Monte-Carlo onboard Crystal Symphony, marking the first casino of its kind at sea. The new gaming venue resulted from a collaboration with Monte-Carlo Societe des Bains de Mer (SBM).
The casino debuted on Crystal Symphony during the Chairmen's Cruise in Venice, Italy, and is scheduled to launch on Crystal Serenity on December 18. The gaming offerings will be available on all upcoming oceangoing Crystal vessels, with the exception of expedition ships.
The casinos will be located in each ship's former Bridge Lounge. Onboard Crystal Symphony, the casino spans over 1,000 square feet and features 29 slot machines and three live tables. Crystal Serenity's casino will have 32 slot machines and three live tables. Gaming options include slot machines, Blackjack, American Roulette and Ultimate Texas Hold'em.
"We could not be prouder to unveil the first-ever Casino de Monte-Carlo at sea aboard Crystal Symphony," said Manfredi Lefebvre, executive chairman of parent company A&K Travel Group.
Cristina Levis, CEO of A&K Travel Group, added that the casino was created in response to guest feedback about missing onboard gaming options, with the goal of maintaining the previous casino experience while introducing new elements.
The casino's design, led by SBM, aims to replicate the aesthetic of the original Le Casino de Monte Carlo. Guests will also have access to premium beverage offerings, encompassing specialty cocktails and international wines served at Avenue Saloon.
