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.
