Crystal, the leader in exceptional cruise experiences, announced today the release dates for its highly anticipated 2026 itineraries as a prelude to the official launch.
This will provide guests with ample advanced notice to plan their next adventure to some of the world’s most iconic and majestic destinations, including Indonesia, Japan, East Africa, Baja, California and many more.
In 2026, Crystal will continue to offer travelers unparalleled opportunities for exploration and cultural immersion - both at sea and on land.
Through Crystal’s partnership with sister brand Abercrombie & Kent, guests will experience an unseen side of some of the most beloved destinations in the world, with exclusive experiences curated by local experts and tastemakers.
After spending the first part of the year in Africa and Asia, including the enchanting cherry blossom season in Japan, Crystal Symphony will return to the US for the first time since 2019 for a spectacular Alaska season followed by Canada and East Coast sailings, and ending the year with Caribbean holiday sailings.
Following her World Cruise, Crystal Serenity will remain in the Mediterranean and Northern Europe before embarking on a transatlantic voyage which will eventually cross the Panama Canal to explore countries along the Pacific Coast of Central and South America before bringing her to California for the holidays. Crystal Serenity will then kick off the 2027 World Cruise from San Diego.
