Genting Hong Kong filed a petition over two weeks ago to wind up its business. They say the COVID-19 pandemic has brought once-thriving cruise and resort businesses to bankruptcy. Lim Kok Thay, who owns other businesses resigned as CEO last week.
According to Crystal Cruises spokesman Vance Gulliksen, ‘We are unable to comment on pending legal matters at this time. Crystal Serenity and Crystal Symphony’s voyages ended last month and there are no guests onboard.”
“The officers and crew on board are being well cared for and staying in single accommodations, some of which are guest staterooms. We are making sure they are comfortable and able to enjoy the various amenities on board. Crew members have been paid per their normal schedules and we are meeting and exceeding all contractual obligations.”
