The Kawai acrylic grand piano (CR40A)

A&K Philanthropy
A&K Philanthropy (AKP) builds on the visionary legacy of A&K founder Geoffrey Kent, who more than 60 years ago pioneered a community-first approach to conservation and transformed the very nature of safari travel. Guided by his belief that safeguarding the world’s most fragile wilderness begins with supporting the people who live closest to it, AKP initiatives focus on Education, Health Care, Enterprise, and Conservation.
The University of Texas
MD Anderson Cancer Center
Making meaningful connections is central to Crystal’s philosophy of creating exceptional cruises. In this spirit, Crystal has launched a fundraising campaign for The Allison Institute, a visionary research and innovation hub at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. One of the world’s most respected institutions in its field, the center is dedicated to patient care, research, education, and prevention.
Crystal Crew Fund
This fund is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life of our crew members during their long months at sea, far from home. It is used exclusively for collective benefits that boost morale and foster community, such as team-building initiatives, rather than providing individual financial assistance. Each ship’s Crew Welfare Committee manages the fund with company support.
