Abercrombie & Kent (A&K) has revealed the first five itineraries in a collection of 10 new Crystal Cruises voyages debuting in 2027 following a sell-out 2026 season.
A&K had initially announced it’d have five itineraries in 2027, but says the expansion of the voyages to 10 follows “strong demand” for the inaugural sailing departing in August 2026, which sold out within weeks of its announcement.
The first in the collection of cruises include sailings around Italy; a Mediterranean cruise starting in Malta; Europe’s culinary Atlantic Coast, including Portugal, Spain, France, Guernsey and England; New York and Canada, and the French Riviera to Lisbon.
Each voyage begins with a two-night stay at a luxury hotel selected by A&K, and guests sail in Sapphire Veranda Suites aboard Crystal Serenity or Crystal Symphony.
AKTG Chief Product Officer Fernando Delgado says, “The overwhelming demand for our 2026 pilot voyage demonstrated something extraordinary.”
“That success gave us the momentum to expand into 2027 with even more departures, more destinations and more opportunities for travellers to experience cultural exploration with both brands at their very best.”
The first five Crystal Cruises voyages for 2027 are:
- A Voyage Around Italy (May 9-20, 2027)
Begin in Venice with two nights at the San Clemente Palace, stroll through the canals and sample wine from the city’s only remaining vineyard before boarding Crystal Symphony for an exploration around Italy, Croatia and Malta.
- The Insider’s Mediterranean (May 25-June 3, 2027)
This cruise spans Malta, Sardinia, Tunisia and Spain. Start in Valetta with two nights at the Corinthia Palace, followed by an immersive sailing aboard Crystal Symphony.
- Europe’s Culinary Atlantic Coast (Jun 26-Jul 9, 2027)
Designed for food and wine enthusiasts, this voyage aboard Crystal Symphony explores the flavours of Portugal, Spain, France, Guernsey and England.
- Autumn in New York and Canada (Sep 8-21, 2027)
Beginning with a stay at The Chatwal in Midtown Manhattan, this journey reveals “hidden stories of New York” before boarding Crystal Serenity to follow the autumn colours through New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Quebec.
- French Riviera to Lisbon (Oct 6-18, 2027)
This Mediterranean voyage aboard Crystal Symphony traces a route through six countries, from Monaco, France, Italy and Corsica through the Balearic Islands and Spain, ending along Portugal’s Algarve coast.
A&K acquired the cruise line and its two vessels, Serenity and Symphony, in 2022.
In August 2025, it announced ‘By Abercrombie & Kent’, an initiative which offers guests curated land adventures during cruises with Crystal, using A&K’s cultural expertise.
A&K said about the launch “it represents a significant evolution in luxury cruising, leveraging Abercrombie & Kent’s six decades of expertise to deliver unprecedented access to authentic, world-class experiences both onshore and at sea”.
