Crystal Grace to Feature Dedicated Crew Recreation Area

Crystal Cruises has unveiled a dedicated crew recreation area aboard the Crystal Grace, its newest ship coming in 2028.

Set on deck 12, the crew recreation area will include a crew gym featuring Technogym equipment, a sundries shop, bar, table seating area and lounge with a 98-inch television indoors. 

This will be complemented with sun loungers, a jacuzzi and shower area outside, according to a statement. 

“Our crew consistently delivers an exceptional level of service and care, and it was important to us that Crystal Grace reflects that same standard in return,” said Cristina Levis, CEO of Abercrombie & Kent Travel Group (AKTG). 

“This dedicated recreation space was created with real intention, a place for our team to unwind, recharge and feel supported after bringing the Crystal experience to life each day.” 

Measuring 1,582 square feet (147 square meters), the area can accommodate up to 100 crew members, with 74 dedicated seats in the indoor social spaces. 

In addition to this, two crew dining areas will be located on deck 3. 

The 650-passenger Crystal Grace is scheduled for delivery in May 2028.  

Her official debut on June 11, 2028, in Civitavecchia (Rome), will visit Sorrento, Igoumenitsa, Kotor, Split, Zadar and Trieste before continuing to Venice, after which a Mediterranean season will be launched.

AIDA Cruises has announced that it’s looking for around 5,000 new employees worldwide for jobs onboard and shoreside. 

According to a press release, the offers are not just aimed at qualified specialists and managers.

The cruise company is also opening a broad range of career opportunities to motivated lateral entrants and young professionals.

AIDA Cruises also said that it offers a “wide variety of attractive apprenticeships for the start into working life.”

“Dedicated employees have always been part of our success. Whether on land or onboard – they are the ambassadors of our company. We not only offer varied jobs in an international working environment but also the opportunity to make a career with AIDA and discover the world,” said Vice President for Human Resources Management at AIDA Cruises Haike Witzke. “At our company, the individual skills of each person are valued, regardless of their origin, gender and religion. We encourage every motivated employee in their career planning.”

AIDA Cruises said that it offers many other incentives too. These include a company pension scheme, flexible working time models for family planning, comprehensive training and development programs, as well as attractive employee bonuses.

On land, a variety of diverse positions are currently open in the areas of IT, marketing, human resources, law, and in the AIDA Customer Center. The range of career opportunities onboard extends from the hotel business (for example, bar, reception, kitchen, restaurant) to wellness and activities (such as cosmetics, hairdresser, spa, fitness) to the care of young and grown-up guests.

AIDA Cruises said that it also offers attractive jobs in occupational groups that are not necessarily associated with cruises, such as media designers, lighting, sound or event technicians.
