Crystal Cruises,
newly acquired by Genting Hong Kong, said it will open a branch office in Miami
on June 1.
The headquarters
for the cruise line will remain in Los Angeles. The Miami office will bolster
Crystal’s presence on the East Coast, said CEO Edie
Rodriguez. It will also help Crystal source experienced cruise talent, create
partnerships and foster existing business relationships in the region, she
said.
Crystal said the Miami branch
office, located at 1501 Biscayne Blvd. in the Omni Building, will be home to
newly created management positions at Crystal while serving as a secondary
location for Los Angeles-based executives to conduct business as needed.
It will also feature a reservations call center, which
will begin to accept bookings in summer 2015, and provide support on both
coasts for Crystal to serve the domestic and international markets.
