AKTG CEO Cristina Levis says from the very beginning of Crystal Grace’s design process it prioritised listening to our guests.

“Their preferences, their habits and the way they live while at sea informed every decision we made.

“These suites reflect a thoughtful evolution of space, comfort and accessibility, delivering the elevated residential feeling our guests have asked for while preserving the elegance and intimacy that define the Crystal experience.”

 Crystal Senior Vice President of Hotel Operations Bernie Leypold says one of the features it knows guests will love is the amount of open-air space.

“We also focused on creating more intuitive storage throughout, ensuring every item, whether a closet for a world cruise or treasures collected along the way, has a place.

“This increased flexibility allows guests to truly settle in, relax and feel at home anywhere in the world.”

Scheduled for delivery May 31 2028, Crystal Grace will embark on her inaugural voyage on June 11 2028, following a series of preview sailings.
