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.

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.
