Crystal ship returns to the US in 2026
Luxury line Crystal revealed details of 2026 itineraries ahead of the official launch.
Destinations range from Indonesia, Japan, East Africa, Baja California and much more.
With sister brand Abercrombie & Kent, cruise guests have the opportunity for a deeper exploration on land in the destinations.
After spending the first part of the year in Africa and Asia, Crystal Symphony will return to the US for the first time since 2019 for an Alaska season followed by Canada and East Coast sailings.
It ends the year in the Caribbean.
Following her World Cruise, Crystal Serenity will remain in the Mediterranean and Northern Europe before a transatlantic crossing and Panama Canal transit.
The ship will explore the Pacific Coast of Central and South America before sailing north to California for the holidays.
Crystal Serenity will then kick off the 2027 World Cruise from San Diego.
“Our team has been diligently working to craft the most exceptional experiences for our guests, from Japan’s cherry blossoms to a complete solar eclipse in Western Europe,” Cristina Levis, CEO of A&K Travel Group.

From August 2024, individual cruise segment booking availability for the first two calendar quarters will begin rolling out for both Crystal Serenity and Crystal Symphony.
Then in the first week of December 2024 all remaining 2026 itineraries for both ships will be available to book.
