Crystal Cruises is evaluating the impact of a one-month halt of operations by German shipbuilder MV Werften on an expedition cruiseship.

The Genting Hong Kong subsidiary had been scheduled to take delivery of the ship later this year.

MV Werften will pause operations at its Rostock, Stralsund and Wismar shipyard facilities for about four weeks as a preventative measure to protect employees against Covid-19, Crystal said.
