Luxury cruise line Crystal has secured a collaboration with Monte-Carlo Societe des Bains de Mer (SBM) to host the first Casino de Monte-Carlo at sea. The collaboration aims to bring high-end gaming experiences to Crystal’s oceangoing vessels, starting with Crystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity. 

The new casino will debut onboard Crystal Symphony during the Chairman’s Cruise departing from Venice on November 14, and on by Crystal Serenity in December. The casino will also be featured on the two future oceangoing vessels and in all the new vessels of Crystal, with the exclusion of Expedition vessels.

The Casino de Monte-Carlo will occupy over 1,000 square feet on both Crystal Serenity and Crystal Symphony, replacing the current Bridge Lounges. The Bridge Lounge will be relocated to the Library on Crystal Serenity and The Lounge (previously the casino) on Crystal Symphony. The new casinos will offer a variety of gaming activities, including slot machines, blackjack, and roulette.
