Exceptional Experiences
For more than three decades, Crystal has been applauded for extraordinary, award-winning voyages. Enjoy a new era of travel powered by a partnership with Abercrombie & Kent. Whether you want to island hop around the Caribbean, get a taste of Asia’s finest culture, cuisine, and charm, or melt into the blue waters of the Mediterranean this year, itineraries cater to the most discerning traveler. Crystal’s 7- to 18-night voyages will also travel throughout Northern Europe, Canada and New England, Alaska, Panama Canal, Middle East, Australia, and New Zealand. In 2024, their Grand Journeys range from 38-68 nights and have been designed by experts to ensure deep regional discovery. And for those who really want to experience the very best, Crystal’s 2024 World Cruise offers an extraordinary journey, exploring 69 destinations in 29 countries over 125 nights.

Exceptional Suites
Experience Crystal and discover unforgettable style and space at sea. Reimagined suites and guest rooms are now even more spacious, with elevated detail and contemporary craftsmanship. Suites feature marble quarried from Italy, with modern furnishings and fine cotton linens.

Exceptional Service
Personalized, friendly service reveals home-away-from-home relaxation, anchored in a “what you want when you want it” ethos. How so? Industry-leading staff training. The result is intuitive service that remains a step ahead.

Exceptional Dining
With the return of UMI UMA by Master Chef Nobu Matsuhisa, the only seagoing specialty dining experience by the Michelin-Star chef will remain a guest favorite. The elegantly modern setting showcases dishes inspired by traditions of the Orient and created by legendary Master Chef Nobuyuki (Nobu) Matsuhisa. Guests will again be able to dine on such signature entrées as Nobu-Style Black Cod, Wagyu Beef Filet Steak, and some of the freshest sushi available at the Sushi Bar.
