PHOTOS: Crystal unveils suite renderings of Crystal Grace

Crystal has released suite renderings for Crystal Grace, scheduled to debut in May 2028.

The ship will feature 337 all-suite, all-veranda accommodations, accommodating 650 guests based on double occupancy and measuring 61,800 gross tons. 

Select suites will offer wraparound verandas, a first for Crystal.

Designed by cruise ship architectural firm GEM, with art direction and interior design coordination by Milan-based Studio Ibsen, all suites will include butler service, a pillow menu and Jesurum 1870 bed linens.

"From the very beginning of Crystal Grace's design process, we prioritized listening to our guests," said Cristina Levis, CEO of AKTG. 

"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."

"One of the features we know our guests will love most is the remarkable amount of open-air space, including expansive wraparound verandas in several suite categories," said Bernie Leypold, senior vice president of hotel operations for Crystal. 

"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."

Crystal Grace is scheduled for delivery May 31, 2028, and will embark on her inaugural voyage June 11, 2028, following preview sailings.

Crystal plans to unveil additional suite categories, including an Owner's Suite.
