Our Cruise Ships

MV Cristal

The lM/V Cristal (ex MV Opera) is Louis Cruise Lines' most recent acquisition. With her chic and modern design and array of amenities and comforts typical of those of an upscale hotel, the MV Cristal provides the perfect floating base for exploring the beauty of the Greek Isles.

With in 483 spacious staterooms and suites, the MV Cristal can carry over 1200 passengers. Her 318 outside staterooms, most with large windows and some with balconies, and 165 inside spacious staterooms, all above sea level, are tastefully decorated and equipped with individually controlled air-conditioning, ample closet space, shower or bathtub, toilet, TV, telephone and hairdryer.

The MV Cristal also features various dining areas, a large double tiered show lounge, several bars, spa facilities, beauty salon, outdoor swimming pool with a retractable glass cover, casino and large duty free shop area. 

Note: If you've taken a few cruises before, you may be accustomed to large, luxurious ships appointed with every possible amenity. Cruising the Greek Isles is different. Ships (including those of Louis Cruise Lines) are generally smaller and more agile, better suited for navigating the shallow waters and small ports of the Mediterranean and Aegean Seas. These mid-sized ships are practical, comfortable, and equipped with all necessary modern conveniences. But they may offer more basic cabin amenities, less on-board entertainment, and fewer dining options than larger ocean liners. Some meals may feature buffet style service and limited a la carte selections. Think of these ships as good 3-star hotels providing convenient and comfortable transport through the Greek Isles—which are the true reason for your cruise.
