Crystal debuted the first-ever Casino de Monte-Carlo at sea during the Crystal Symphony’s ribbon-cutting ceremony in Venice, Italy. 

The new onboard casino is the product of a partnership with Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer (SBM). The Crystal Serenity will also offer the onboard casino for guests to enjoy on December 18. All future ships will also feature the casino. 

The casino replaces the Bridges Lounge onboard. It offers plenty of the casino games travelers love, from slot machines to Blackjack and American Roulette tables. The Crystal Symphony will offer 29 slot machines and three live tables; the Crystal Serenity will have 32 slot machines and three live tables. 

Those enjoying the casino will be able to have specialty cocktails and global wines by Avenue Saloon as part of Crystal’s premium beverages. 

"We could not be prouder to unveil the first-ever Casino de Monte-Carlo at sea aboard Crystal Symphony this week,” said Executive Chairman of A&K Travel Group Manfredi Lefebvre. “There was no better choice for a gaming partner than Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer, founded more than 160 years ago and remains a global leader in the casino industry. I’ve known the team for many years and, like Crystal, they are fully committed to delivering upscale experiences that cater to the discerning tastes of travelers from around the world. The future is bright for both of our brands.”
