Crown Current

CrownCurrent is a new cruise company and ship builder. It was founded on January 19, 2013, by the countries of Riyadh Islamic Federation, Shihaisha, and New Holland. It is slated to start building its future ships in February 2013, and start the inaugural Mediterranean cruise in the middle of summer 2013. Due to recent conflict and crisis with the members and former members, CrownCurrent decided to shut down altogether.

History
The original idea for CrownCurrent came from Shihaisha in mid-2012, where it would host a cruise line focusing on the Asian coast, with its main competitor being Star Cruises. The idea was then shared with Riyadh Islamic Federation and New Holland, and the idea of making it a global company was started.

CrownCurrent was then founded in early-2013, with CrownCurrent consisting of 5 subsidiaries focusing on certain regions of the world. It is expected to start its cruising services with a Mediterranean 10-day cruise.

RIF Removal
On February 6, 2013, the company had announced that it was terminating any action between the Riyadh Islamic Federation and the company. This was in response to the 2013 Nuclear Sanctions Crisis, and how the Federation was preventing the company from any growth. As a result also, CrownCurrent Arabia cruises were cancelled. The company is asking if any nation is interested in joining.
