Can Crystal save the S.S. United States?

Crystal Cruises is paying $60,000 a month while is performs feasibility tests on the S.S. United States. Why? To see if it can turn the old ocean liner into a unique, modern luxury ship. Even if the refurbishment costs almost as much as a new ship, it still seems like a good investment. A luxury version of the S.S. United States would be unique at sea. The long uncluttered lines and the history are the opposite of the cookie cutter ships coming online now. It is a niche, but Crystal is a niche. We hope it works and we look forward to sailing on the classic ship.
