The return of Crystal Cruises marks a triumphant renaissance in luxury ocean travel. With the acquisition by the esteemed A&K Travel Group — the parent company of Abercrombie & Kent — the legendary The Crystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity are once again setting sail, reimagined and more alluring than ever.
Both ships have undergone extensive renovations in Trieste, Italy, emerging with expanded suites, refined public spaces, and nearly one staff member per guest — a ratio that ensures unparalleled personalized service. Every aspect of the experience feels bespoke, from the moment you step on board to the last indulgent detail curated to match your preferences, routines, and spontaneous whims.
A World of Destinations, Curated with Purpose
Crystal’s globe-spanning itineraries are masterfully crafted to immerse you in the richness of cultures near and far. Whether you’re dreaming of Europe and the Mediterranean, the sun-drenched Caribbean, or the wild beauty of the South Pacific, Crystal’s voyages offer seamless journeys between iconic cities and off-the-radar gems. Think Rome to Venice, Dubai to Mumbai, Singapore to Perth, or Los Angeles to Quebec City — each sailing designed to elevate your wanderlust.
Through an exclusive partnership with Abercrombie & Kent, Crystal’s shore excursions are nothing short of transformative. These curated land experiences go beyond sightseeing, offering insider access to places rarely seen by the public. For more than 60 years, A&K has led travelers through extraordinary corners of the world — and now brings that same gold-standard guidance to sea.
Style, Space, and Sophistication at Sea
On board, Crystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity set a new benchmark for modern elegance. The staterooms and suites are refined sanctuaries, featuring soothing neutral palettes, rich textures, marble finishes, and gold accents. Private verandas invite you to begin and end each day with sweeping ocean views.
Dining is an art form aboard Crystal. With more than nine onboard venues, culinary experiences are tailored to your mood and cravings. Discover exquisite Japanese-Peruvian fusion at Umi Uma, the only Nobu restaurant at sea. Savor rustic flavors at Osteria d’Ovidio, where authentic Italian cuisine shines. For true connoisseurs, The Vintage Room offers private wine-pairing dinners that double as immersive gastronomic journeys.
Adding to the allure, rotating guest chefs bring regional flair to each itinerary, enhancing your voyage with flavors that tell the story of the destination. And for moments of solitude, 24-hour in-suite dining ensures every craving is satisfied — in the comfort of your own refined retreat.
Cruising, Redefined with Tully
With itineraries ranging from seven days to grand world journeys of 141 days, Crystal invites you to experience cruising at its most luxurious. Whether you're seeking cultural immersion, culinary excellence, or serene escape, your Tully Luxury Travel Designer will curate the voyage that fits your every desire.
