When Crystal Serenity and Crystal Symphony set sail for their inaugural seasons later this year, guests will be delighted to discover that UMI UMA by Nobu Matsuhisa Restaurant and Sushi Bar is also back, the cruise line announced today.
UMI UMA is one of Crystal's award-winning culinary specialties, set in an elegant and modern atmosphere. Here, dishes inspired by the exotic variety and traditions of the East are created by legendary chef Nobuyuki (Nobu) Matsuhisa. Guests can once again enjoy signature dishes such as Nobu-style black cod, grilled Chilean sea bass, Wagyu beef fillet, and some of the freshest sushi available at the Sushi Bar.
“It wouldn’t be Crystal without having one of the most popular restaurants, UMI UMA, back on board when the new Crystal sets sail,” said Crystal’s Senior Vice President of Hotel Operations, Bernie Leypold.
Master Chef Nobu added, “Crystal is known for its food and beverage program that offers an authentic dining experience with efficient and personalized service, and we are proud that UMI UMA will showcase our innovative fusion cuisine, blending traditional Japanese dishes with Peruvian ingredients.”
Guests can enjoy one complimentary reservation per person, per cruise, for voyages of up to 11 days. On cruises longer than 11 days, two complimentary reservations are included. Additional reservations can be confirmed onboard for a nominal fee, subject to availability. Reservations are required for dining at UMI UMA.
The Crystal Serenity's maiden voyage will depart from Marseille on July 31 for a Mediterranean cruise, and the Crystal Symphony will depart from Athens on September 1. The planned itineraries will include the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, Canada and New England, Alaska, the Caribbean, the Panama Canal, the Middle East, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand.
