A Florida court has appointed Michael Moecker & Associates to handle creditors’ claims, which includes those made by passengers, travel agents, suppliers and employees.
The closure of Crystal Cruises’ US office comes after its parent company, Genting Hong Kong, filed for liquidation.
In an interview with Seatrade Cruise News, former Crystal president Jack Anderson said it was uncertain if the company could be reformed.
He shared that following Genting Hong Kong’s move to liquidate, the Crystal management team received interest from “many” parties for specific assets and from “some” for the company as a whole. All those parties were referred to the joint provisional liquidators.
