Crystal has unveiled its itineraries for the second half of 2026, with Crystal Symphony returning to North America for the first time since 2019.
In the period from July to December, Crystal Serenity will host passengers on 18 sailings, spanning 36 countries and 108 ports, while Crystal Symphony will perform 20 sailings taking in 32 countries and 79 ports.
Between the two ships, the regions covered will be Europe, Asia, South America, Africa and North America.
Mario Parodi, vice-president of itinerary planning and port and fuel operations, said the 2026 itineraries would cover “both iconic landmarks and hidden gems”, adding the sailings would invite passengers to “experience the world in an extraordinary way”.
In July 2026, Crystal Serenity will depart from Southampton for a northern European journey calling at Antwerp, Rotterdam and Hamburg, before ending with Oslo and Copenhagen after a day at sea.
In the same month, Crystal Symphony will host seven back-to-back Alaska itineraries taking in the Hubbard Glacier. Calling points will include Ketchikan, Sitka, Icy Strait Point, Wrangell and Klawock.
In October 2026, the ship aims to offer “the ultimate fall foliage experience” with a sailing departing from Montreal and heading down the east coast, with stops including Quebec City, Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine, Nova Scotia’s ports of Sydney and Halifax, Saint John in New Brunswick, Portland, Boston, Newport and New York City.
The following month, Crystal Serenity will undertake a transatlantic journey from Lisbon to Fort Lauderdale. After a visit to Funchal, calls will be made to the Azores, the British Virgin Island of Tortola and San Juan.
