Crystal has just rolled out a series of updates to add some chandelier-level sparkle to your working day with the rollout of their July to December 2027 portfolio and announcement of their headline-making 2028 World Cruise (on sale this Friday!). With Sensational Savings up to $6,000 per suite, this is the news your luxury cruise clients have been waiting for.
Since joining the A&K Travel Group, Crystal has doubled down on what it does best: bespoke service, spacious all-suite ships, and curated experiences designed for travellers who don’t just want to see the world, they want to savour it.
Fresh for 2027: new voyages announced
As one would expect from such innovators, Crystal’s full 2027 program release comes with great fanfare. Along with continued focus on longer stays, more time to explore, and immersive port visits, the voyages tell a story of destinations familiar and unknown.
The recent release of the second half of 2027 itineraries revealed over 90 destinations across four continents, calling in at more than 170 ports. All sailings are aboard the reimagined Crystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity, including special themed cruises.
Standout itineraries for 2027 include scenic cruising through Alaska’s Inside Passage, Chile’s dramatic coastline, and the natural beauty of Iceland, the Land of Fire and Ice.
In partnership with sister company, Abercrombie & Kent (A&K), shore excursions deliver high-end commentary and rich insights into select destinations worldwide.
150 nights of luxury
Not one to do things by halves, Crystal has also announced its most extensive World Cruise ever.
Departing 11 January 2028, the Treasures of the Tides is an awe-inspiring 150-night voyage sailing to 84 destinations across 39 countries and six continents.
Sailing aboard Crystal Symphony, it’s the first time the ship has led a World Cruise itinerary since 2018.
First-time ports on the cruise include Huahine in French Polynesia, Mangalore in India, Nha Trang in Vietnam, and our very own Kangaroo Island.
Alongside A&K-led shore excursions, World Cruise guests are invited to a series of exclusive events and special celebrations in Lima, Ho Chi Minh City, and Dubai with “a spectacular finale”.
As you would expect, the news of the 2028 itinerary is already generating buzz for its unique routing and cultural focus. Pricing starts from $116,000 per person twin share, with bookings open tomorrow (29 May)!
Dining dialled up
For gourmands and oenophiles, Crystal has levelled up the cruise dining game once again with a raft of impressive bespoke culinary experiences. These include:
- Beefbar: Straight out of Monte Carlo, Beefbar and visionary restauranteur Riccardo Giraudi have been making waves with high-end prime cuts prepared into delectable dishes of comfort and street food in a slick, contemporary setting.
- Osteria d’Ovidio: With a newly refreshed menu created by the Alajmo brothers (yes, the Michelin-starred ones), who’ve reimagined this Italian dining experience with creative flair and their heritage pride. Impeccably crafted dishes guide guests on a multi-sensory journey through three distinct sections or three tasting menus.
- Umi Uma by Nobu: Master chef Nobu Matsuhisa brings his iconic flavours to the only Nobu restaurants at sea. Try award-winning menu items like Nobu-style black cod, lobster tempura, and the freshest sushi available at sea.
These elevated culinary offerings demonstrate that what Crystal’s plating up is something truly irresistible.
Beyond the ships
While Crystals’ intimate all-suite fleet impresses, the extras elevate the journey: 24-hour butler service, an expansive spa and wellness menu, and onboard enrichment program truly enhance the travel experience.
From curated experiences that deepen a connection to the destination, to extended port stays and intuitive, ultra-luxe service, today’s luxury cruise traveller has high expectations—and these are not only met, but effortlessly exceeded.
