SOUTHAMPTON, U.K., JULY 3, 2003 - It was a Six-Star style day when legendary entertainer Dame Julie Andrews released the cord that sent a custom-made six liter bottle of Louis Roederer Cristal champagne crashing against the hull of Crystal Cruises’ newest luxury ship, Crystal Serenity, here today. In doing so, she triggered a flurry of colored streamers and confetti upon the 400 guests all dressed in the day’s themed attire of black and white.

The 1,080-guest, 68,000-ton Crystal Serenity officially entered service in the region on July 7, 2003 with a 14-day Northern Europe “Grand Inaugural Voyage,” round-trip from London’s port of Southampton. She will continue her inaugural season with summer cruises in Europe, the Mediterranean, and Black Sea, followed by a trans-Atlantic crossing, two Caribbean & Panama Canal voyages, and a combined Christmas & New Year’s Mexican Riviera sailing, round-trip from Los Angeles.
