Crystal Grace's inaugural 2028 season has been revealed

Crystal has released a first look at its Summer and Fall 2028 sailings, highlighting the inaugural season of Crystal Grace alongside new voyages for Crystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity.

The itineraries span the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, the Arctic, the Americas, Asia-Pacific and the Caribbean. 

All sailings will be released on April 16 and open for booking on April 28, 2026.

"Our 2028 voyages are designed to offer guests deeper exploration across some of the most beautiful regions around the world," said Mario Parodi, vice president of itinerary planning and port and fuel operations for Crystal.

"Crystal Grace will debut with sailings from the Mediterranean, Canada and New England to the Caribbean, Crystal Symphony will travel from the Panama Canal to Alaska and Japan, while Crystal Serenity will explore Europe, the Arctic and the Eastern Mediterranean. Each ship will spend the season discovering the various regions through carefully curated itineraries that we hope our guests will love."

Crystal Grace will make her official debut on June 11, 2028, in Civitavecchia (Rome), with an inaugural voyage visiting Sorrento, Igoumenitsa, Kotor, Split, Zadar and Trieste before continuing to Venice. 

The ship will be christened during an overnight stay in Monte Carlo on the July 8 voyage departing from Barcelona. 

Summer sailings cover Italy, Croatia, Greece, France and Spain, with guests able to combine select voyages into five extended journeys, including two 34-night itineraries with no repeating ports.

In September, Crystal Grace sails west from Lisbon via the Azores to Halifax and New York, beginning fall voyages in New England and Eastern Canada including Quebec City and Charlottetown. 

November itineraries include Bermuda and Caribbean departures from Fort Lauderdale, with calls in Antigua, St. Lucia, Aruba and Barbados.

Following its 2028 World Cruise, Crystal Symphony begins summer operations on June 10 from Fort Lauderdale, transiting the Panama Canal before sailing north along the California coast to San Diego and San Francisco. 

The ship then moves to Alaska and British Columbia for the peak summer months, with departures from Vancouver and Seward and calls including Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, Sitka and Wrangell, along with scenic cruising at Hubbard Glacier. 

In late September, Crystal Symphony crosses the International Date Line to Japan, with ports including Tokyo, Osaka, Nagasaki, Busan and Kanazawa.

Crystal Serenity begins her summer season on May 5, sailing from the Iberian Peninsula into the Mediterranean with calls including Cádiz, Valencia, Monte Carlo, Livorno, Civitavecchia, Valletta and Piraeus. 

The ship then heads north to the British Isles and Norway, sailing above the Arctic Circle to Honningsvåg before continuing to Iceland, Greenland and the Faroe Islands, with consecutive calls in Reykjavik, Oslo, Copenhagen and Stockholm. 

Late summer and early fall voyages cover Northern Europe before the ship returns south through Western Europe and the Mediterranean, with calls in La Goulette, Cagliari, Ajaccio, Marseille, Palamós and Barcelona. 

The season concludes with a transatlantic crossing and additional sailings in warmer climates.
