Entertainment, Activities & Facilities

The entertainment on Crystal Endeavor is similar to that which you might find on other expedition-orientated ships.

The Crystal Life Spa.
For relaxation, the Crystal Life Spa is one of the largest found on expedition ships and offers a menu of pampering treatments in serene surroundings. Furthermore, Crystal Endeavor’s beauty salon, fitness studio and shopping boutiques – located next to the spa – are more in keeping with what you might find on a larger ship, proving Crystal Endeavor is more than just a typical expedition vessel.
Located on Deck 5, you will find the Solarium. This unique two-tier space features a pool, ample seating and lounges, and is the ship’s prime position for incredible views across the horizon thanks to vast floor-to-ceiling glass windows.
When night falls, Palm Court is the venue for much of Crystal Endeavor’s entertainment. Offering bar service, a dance floor and occasional performances from the ship’s resident musicians, the panoramic views and sophisticated ambience make it the perfect space for after-dark cocktails. Alternatively, those with a passion for high-end cigars and premium liquor should head to the exclusive Connoisseur Club, which resembles the type of members-only clubs you might find hidden away in London or New York.
