Crystal Cruises is sharing more details about its summer and fall 2028 itineraries ahead of their opening for booking on April 28.
The voyages span across the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, the Arctic, the Americas, Asia-Pacific and the Caribbean.
“Our 2028 voyages are designed to offer guests deeper exploration across some of the most beautiful regions around the world,” says Mario Parodi, vice president of itinerary planning and port and fuel operations for Crystal Cruises. “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 debut on June 11, 2028, in Civitavecchia (Rome) with an inaugural voyage that visits Sorrento, Igoumenitsa, Kotor, Split, Zadar and Trieste before continuing to Venice. Throughout the summer, the ship will sail across Italy, Croatia, Greece, France and Spain, with stops in Valencia and Monte Carlo. The ship will be christened during an overnight stay in Monte Carlo during the July 8 voyage from Barcelona.
In September, Crystal Grace sails west from Lisbon via the Azores to Halifax and New York, beginning a series of 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.
After the 2028 world cruise, Crystal Symphony begins summer operations in the Americas, departing June 10 from Fort Lauderdale, with a Panama Canal transit and calls in Cartagena, Puerto Caldera, San Juan del Sur and Puerto Vallarta before sailing along the California coast to San Diego and San Francisco.
The ship will spend the peak summer months in Alaska and British Columbia, featuring multiple departures from Vancouver and Seward, with calls including Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, Sitka, Wrangell and scenic cruising along the famed Hubbard Glacier. In late September, the ship will sail to Japan, beginning a series of voyages throughout Japan and South Korea with ports including Tokyo, Osaka, Nagasaki, Busan and Kanazawa.
