Crystal, a leading provider in the luxury cruise segment, has presented its comprehensive offering for the second half of 2027. The two ships Crystal symphony and Crystal serenity During this period, more than 90 destinations on four continents will be served. The cruise area stretches from Alaska through eastern North America, the Caribbean, Latin America and Tierra del Fuego to the Mediterranean and the far north of Europe. All cruises are available for booking now and are complemented by carefully selected shore excursions, often in cooperation with Abercrombie & Kent and enable exclusive insights and encounters.
Matias Lira , Senior Vice President of Trade Sales for the Americas, UK, and EMEA at Crystal, explains the early release of the itineraries: “Many of our customers like to plan their Crystal cruises well in advance, so it’s not unusual for them to book around two years ahead.” This allows guests to comfortably select their preferred itineraries, especially since the program again includes some rarely visited and highly worthwhile destinations. The strategic partnership with Abercrombie & Kent underscores Crystal’s commitment to offering travelers not only luxurious cruises but also profound experiences on land.
From July to December 2027, the Crystal Serenity will offer itineraries including Alaska's Inside Passage with the Hubbard Glacier, a transatlantic voyage from Vancouver to Charleston via the Panama Canal, and cruises along the US East Coast and through the Canadian Maritime Provinces to Quebec. Later itineraries will take visitors from Brazil through Argentina and Uruguay to the Falkland Islands and along the Pacific coast of South America. During the same period, the Crystal Symphony will focus on Western Europe and Scandinavia, including cruises through the Norwegian fjords and visits to Iceland and Greenland. In the fall, it will sail to the Mediterranean before crossing the Atlantic in November and exploring the southern Caribbean and the West Indies in December.
In addition to their diverse destinations, the Crystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity themselves offer a high level of comfort and gastronomy. This includes Umi Uma by chef Nobu Matsuhisa, the Osteria d'Ovidio with menus by Michelin-starred chef Massimiliano Alajmo, and the Beefbar by Riccardo Giraudi.
