Crystal Cruises has officially relaunched under the name and vision, Crystal – Exceptional at Sea. This new era for Crystal begins with a refreshed website (still www.crystalcruises.com) and branding under the guardianship of the A&K Travel Group, which acquired the brand and ships in June 2022.
Crystal has also announced its 2023 and 2024 voyages aboard the newly refurbished Crystal Serenity and Crystal Symphony, reimagined with larger updated suites, complete with marble quarried from Italy, plus modern furnishings and fine cotton linens.
In addition, guests can expect heightened levels of wellness, dining and entertainment experiences. To note, there are over nine dining options onboard each ship, a leading spa, fitness facilities and a large pool onboard. A complimentary food and beverage program has been designed to bring authentic dining experiences and personalized service no matter where and when you eat. There will also be a series of guest chefs connected to the destinations visited, adding diversity and local flavors.
Both the spa and the gym are being revamped, while the Wimbledon courts will host both paddle tennis and pickleball. A refreshed approach to entertainment and events programming has been developed with more information to follow.
The ships will soon embark on itineraries around the globe. Voyages will travel throughout the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, Canada and New England, Alaska, the Caribbean, through the Panama Canal, the Middle East, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. At shore, excursions continue with Abercrombie & Kent ground arrangements.
Travel Advisors and guests with Open Deposits have exclusive access to an early booking window beginning Wednesday, February 1, before bookings open to the public later this month. The first sailings will be a Mediterranean cruise of Crystal Serenity on July 31 from Marseille and Crystal Symphony, scheduled to depart September 1 from Athens.
