Crystal Launches New Sailings for Second Half of 2027

From glacier-carved landscapes to iconic coastal cities: explore Iceland, the Chilean Fjords and the best of the Mediterranean aboard Crystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity.

Crystal, the leader in exceptional cruise experiences, announced today its collection of itineraries for the second half of 2027, offering travellers an extraordinary lineup of sailings aboard Crystal Serenity and Crystal Symphony.

Crystal’s new sailings are designed to meet the growing demand for immersive, slow travel experiences. Featuring longer port stays, more overnight stops and regionally focused itineraries, guests will have ample time to truly connect with each destination. Through Crystal’s ongoing collaboration with sister brand Abercrombie & Kent, visitors can look forward to selected shore excursions that offer exclusive behind-the-scenes access and expert-led insights into the culture and history of the region. Onboard, guests will also enjoy the first-ever Casino de Monte-Carlo at sea, Umi Uma by Chef Nobu Matsuhisa, Beefbar by Riccardo Giraudi, as well as a new Osteria d’Ovidio menu designed by the renowned Italian Alajmo brothers, transformative wellness programming at Aurōra Spa and nightly Broadway-style entertainment.

“Our 2027 itineraries showcase some of the world’s most remarkable travel experiences,” comments Mario Parodi, Crystal’s vice president of itinerary planning and port and fuel operations. “From the breathtaking landscapes of Patagonia to the natural beauty of Iceland, these journeys promise unforgettable, bucket-list adventures.
