Crystal has outlined another round of voyages for October 2028 through May 2029, with bookings scheduled to open October 20, 2026. Its October 13 announcement covers Crystal Symphony, Crystal Serenity and the forthcoming Crystal Grace.
Grace’s program includes its first South America season, beginning in February 2029. Planned highlights include an extended Rio de Janeiro visit during Carnival and a Cape Horn passage on February 27. The ship’s first Panama Canal transit is scheduled for March 22.
Symphony will move from Japan and South Korea toward Australia and New Zealand in late 2028. New calls include Cooktown, Port Arthur and Phillip Island, with New Zealand’s sounds featuring in December itineraries.
Serenity’s schedule reaches Japan in March and April 2029 before heading toward Alaska in May. These are deployment plans spanning several different journeys, rather than one itinerary. Travelers comparing options should check each departure’s port sequence, overnight stays and length when the new voyages open for booking.
