Jack Anderson To Return As Crystal Cruises President

Former Crystal Cruises president and CEO Jack Anderson has told Travel Weekly that he will resume his leadership role at the resurrected cruise line under the ownership of Abercrombie & Kent Travel Group.

Anderson told the publication that he began consulting with Heritage Group chairman Manfredi Lefebvre D'Ovidio and A&K Travel Group CEO Cristina Levis when Crystal's parent company Genting Hong Kong filed for liquidation in January. The luxury cruise line ceased operations the next month.

Anderson says he will report to Levis, who will oversee Crystal Cruises, which is getting new life after A&K Travel Group acquired its brand name, guest list and its two oceangoing ships, the Crystal Serenity and Crystal Symphony.

Anderson became president and CEO of Crystal Cruises in October of 2020 and served until the line shut down. In previous roles he served as Crystal's senior vice president for worldwide marketing and sales and vice chairman.

Earlier in Anderson's career he worked for Seabourn, Carnival Corp., Holland America Line and Windstar.
