Crystal has announced details of its 2026 itineraries ahead of the cruises going on sale later this year.
After spending the first part of the year in Africa and Asia, including the cherry blossom season in Japan, Crystal Symphony will return to the US for the first time since 2019 for an Alaska season followed by Canada and East Coast sailings. Crystal Symphony will end the year with Caribbean holiday sailings.
Meanwhile, following its world cruise, Crystal Serenity will remain in the Mediterranean and Northern Europe before embarking on a transatlantic voyage.
Crystal Serenity will then cross the Panama Canal and explore countries along the Pacific Coast of Central and South America before arriving in California.
Crystal Serenity’s 2027 World Cruise will depart from San Diego.
Individual cruise segments for the first half of 2026 will go on sale August 27 and the remaining 2026 itineraries for both ships will be available to book from the first week of December.
Cristina Levis, chief executive of A&K Travel Group – Crystal’s parent company – said: “We recognise that our loyal guests are eagerly awaiting the release of our 2026 itineraries.
“Our team has been diligently working to craft the most exceptional and unforgettable travel experiences for our guests, from experiencing Japan’s stunning cherry blossom during peak season to a complete solar eclipse in Western Europe.
“We are confident that the upcoming itineraries will exceed expectations and provide unparalleled adventures for all.”
