Lloyd Werft Bremerhaven is reaping the benefits of being owned by Genting Hong Kong since 2015 and the trend among cruise majors to invest heavily in upgrading existing tonnage.

In late 2018, the yard completed the multimillion-euro conversion of the 68,870-gt luxury cruiseship Crystal Serenity (built 2003) for Crystal Cruises, which along with Star Cruises and Dream Cruises belongs to Genting Hong Kong.
