Crystal Reveals 2028 Voyages for Grace, Symphony & Serenity

Crystal has shared a first look at its Summer and Autumn 2028 itineraries, headlined by the inaugural season of the new Crystal Grace and fresh sailings for Crystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity across the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, the Arctic, the Americas, Asia‑Pacific and the Caribbean. All detailed itineraries will be published on 16 April 2026 and open for booking on 28 April 2026, giving guests an early opportunity to secure cabins on some of the line’s most anticipated journeys.

Crystal Grace: Inaugural 2028 Season

Crystal Grace will officially debut on 11 June 2028 in Civitavecchia (Rome) with an inaugural sailing that visits Sorrento, Igoumenitsa, Kotor, Split, Zadar and Trieste, before continuing to Venice. This launch voyage opens a Mediterranean season focused on Southern Europe’s historic coasts and cultural capitals, with itineraries spanning Italy, Croatia, Greece, France and Spain, including calls in Valencia and Monte Carlo.

The ship will be christened in Monte Carlo during an overnight stay on the 8 July departure from Barcelona, adding a ceremonial highlight for guests on that sailing. Throughout the season, selected voyages can be combined into five extended journeys, including two 34‑night itineraries with no repeating ports, designed for guests seeking longer, port‑dense explorations.

In September 2028, Crystal Grace will reposition west from Lisbon via the Azores to Halifax and New York, then operate a series of fall New England and Eastern Canada voyages calling at destinations such as Quebec City and Charlottetown. From November, the ship will run Bermuda and Caribbean sailings from Fort Lauderdale, with itineraries featuring Antigua, St. Lucia, Aruba and Barbados.

Crystal Symphony: Americas, Alaska & Japan

Following her 2028 World Cruise, “Treasures of the Tides,” Crystal Symphony will begin her summer program on 10 June with a voyage from Fort Lauderdale through the Panama Canal, calling at Cartagena, Puerto Caldera, San Juan del Sur and Puerto Vallarta, then continuing up the California coast to San Diego and San Francisco.

Symphony will then spend the peak summer months in Alaska and British Columbia, operating multiple departures from Vancouver and Seward. Guests can expect classic Alaskan ports such as Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, Sitka and Wrangell, along with scenic cruising of Hubbard Glacier. The season will include two combination voyages for travellers seeking extended time in the region.

In late September, Crystal Symphony will cross the International Date Line en route to Japan, beginning a series of autumn voyages visiting Tokyo, Osaka, Nagasaki, Kanazawa and Busan in South Korea. These itineraries will highlight both iconic cities and lesser‑visited ports, blending culture, history and seasonal landscapes.

Crystal Serenity: Europe, Arctic Circle & Eastern Med

Crystal Serenity will open her 2028 summer season in Europe on 5 May, sailing from the Iberian Peninsula into the Mediterranean with calls in Cádiz, Valencia, Monte Carlo, Livorno, Civitavecchia (Rome), Valletta and Piraeus (Athens).

She will then head north to the British Isles and Norway, embarking on a Grand Journey above the Arctic Circle to Honningsvåg, followed by voyages that include Iceland, Greenland and the Faroe Islands. Consecutive calls in Reykjavik, Oslo, Copenhagen and Stockholm will anchor this Northern Europe series, with two combination cruises available for guests who want to extend their time across multiple segments.

Late summer and early autumn sailings will trace Northern Europe’s historic ports before Serenity returns south via Western Europe and the Mediterranean, calling at La Goulette (for Tunis), Cagliari, Ajaccio, Marseille, Palamós and Barcelona. The season will conclude with a transatlantic crossing followed by additional warm‑weather itineraries, giving guests options that range from cool‑climate exploration to classic late‑season sun.

Crystal’s next wave of 2028 itineraries—across Crystal Grace, Crystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity—will be fully released on 16 April 2026 and open for booking on 28 April 2026. With a mix of combination sailings, Grand Journeys and standalone itineraries across multiple regions, the program is crafted for guests seeking deeper immersion rather than simple point‑to‑point cruises.
