Onboard amenities include grand lounges, full-service fitness facility, Crystal casino, Feng Shui-inspired spa, 360 degrees teak promenade deck, two pools, award-winning cuisine and entertainment, in addition to elegant staterooms with private verandahs.

Suleiman Bin Obaid Al Ameri, Director of the Commercial Department, Abu Dhabi Terminals Company, said, "This is the first time the Crystal Symphony is visiting the UAE".
