The Cruise Collection
It is little more than a year since the rebirth of Crystal, yet we have travelled far. I am proud of all that we have achieved in such a short time and excited about what is to come.
This is a significant year for Crystal, marking 35 years of our exceptional cruises. We will celebrate the occasion with anniversary sailings, the first of a new collection of voyages themed on a variety of subjects that we are creating. Our aim is to match your personal passions with your desire to explore the world.
I am delighted to reveal that one of the special guests joining one of our 35th anniversary cruises will be our good friend and associate Nobuyuki Matsuhisa. Chef Nobu has been such an important part of the Crystal journey. The opening of his restaurant Umi Uma® in 2003 was not only a game changer for the cruise industry, it also reflected the level of excellence we remain committed to delivering.
Indeed, as you will see when you turn the pages of this brochure, we are proud to announce the opening of another sensational dining experience, Beefbar, from the visionary restaurateur Riccardo Giraudi. Beyond the dining room, we have also unveiled the stunning new Le Casino de Monte-Carlo, a unique collaboration with one of the world leaders in entertainment and gaming, Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer. And we continue to roll out extraordinary onshore experiences with the help of our expert partner Abercrombie & Kent. We want you to delve deeper into the fascinating world you set sail with us to discover.
With almost 90% of our former staff having now returned and so many of you sailing again with us, Crystal is one big happy family once more. Just as in 1990, when the first Crystal ships took to the high seas, everything feels possible.

ONE HAPPY
BIG FAMILY
However you choose to cruise, you’ll be welcomed with open arms by our staff, crew and fellow guests
Family comes in all shapes and sizes and our guests prize Crystal for making everyone feel like they are part of one. “Crew, staff, and guests – this is the heart and soul of Crystal, this is my family.” That’s the kind of sentiment you will often hear when you sail on our beautiful ships.
We know just how important that feeling is, whether you’re traveling solo or with friends and relatives, as a first-time or regular guest. However you choose to cruise, with your family or friends, as a couple or with a soulmate, or even on your own, we always endeavour to make you feel at home. So many guests choose Crystal as a place to share life’s special moments with loved ones when it’s time for a big get-together. Our spacious accommodation, elegant lounges and restaurants, and exceptional service are just made for good times with a group of your nearest and dearest.
From solo guest rooms to suites – perfect for keeping the children close – our accommodation will suit everyone in your group. With an industry-leading ratio of space per passenger, there’s plenty of room to come together, too, during the day and in the evenings. And with so many different activities onboard and onshore, there’s sure to be something to delight every interest and every age.
Seeing the world in style with a friend or partner by your side is double the fun. With so much variety on and off our ships, you can even choose to pursue your own individual interests before meeting for cocktails and dinner to swap stories. Our elegant and spacious suites and guest rooms have been specially designed with every type of traveller in mind. They can be configured with a queen or twin beds – or why not indulge in adjacent suites so you can enjoy your own private space, too?
As well as offering exceptional experiences, service, dining, and entertainment, we pay careful attention to the wishes and needs of our solo guests. Our ships feature accommodation designed for solo travellers – personal havens that provide restful retreats. Our special dining event, Table for Eight, takes place on every cruise, for a pleasant evening making new acquaintances, and our Crystal Ambassador Hosts sail on every voyage, acting as companions for dining, dancing, and games for solo guests. We hold friendly get-togethers for solos during every voyage, providing an excellent opportunity to mingle – a fun and informal way to break the ice.
However you choose to travel, our Crystal family is waiting to welcome you aboard.
COMING HOME TO CRYSTAL
“I never get bored on a Crystal ship,” says Heather Schweiger, who together with her husband, Tommy, has clocked up 112 Crystal cruises to date yet still finds something new each time. “They’ve got everything,” she explains. “I love paddle tennis, which I play every day. I love the art, I’ve made jewellery, I learned the keyboard... The difference with Crystal ships compared with others is that the entertainment is Broadway level – far superior to any other cruise line – and the lectures are excellent.”
Tommy agrees, citing “the crew and the facilities” as the reasons he loves to sail with Crystal. “There’s just so much to do,” he says.
Also key is the draw of being part of the Crystal family. “There’s a sense of family, of happiness and friendliness,” explains Tommy. “The new owner of the company is a very clever man – he got nearly 90% of the crew back, so they’ve preserved that sense of the Crystal family and the Crystal feeling. We know so many of the crew by name. They’re not staff, they’re our friends –we ’ve been friends for 20 years now.”
Heather sums it up: “We feel at home here.”

More top-name chefs and restaurateurs join Crystal’s culinary roster as our dining at sea becomes even more exceptional
Words: LAURA ARCHER
SUCCESS
SPEAKING from his home in Monaco, restaurateur
Riccardo Giraudi is visibly excited about the opening of the first ever Beefbar at sea onboard Crystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity. “I’m very happy,” he says. “We’re also going to be on the new ships that are currently being built. It’s a real partnership – I’m married to Crystal now,” he laughs.
With this new venture, Giraudi is following in gilded footsteps – those made by Nobuyuki Matsuhisa, who opened the only Nobu on the ocean, then called Silk, with Crystal in 2003, a guest favourite to this day. “I have already four or five restaurants with Nobu in different hotels around the world, so I know it’s complementary,” Giraudi says of his decision to partner with Crystal. “It just made sense.”
This is all part of a trend for high-end restaurants to have a presence at sea – an innovation Crystal spearheaded
with Nobu and continues to drive forward. Hot on the heels of Beefbar is a collaboration with the Alajmo brothers, Raffaele (Raf) and Massimiliano (Max), who oversee a group of restaurants with four Michelin stars between them. Their flagship restaurant, Le Calandre in Rubano, is one of only eight in Italy to hold three Michelin stars – Max was just 28 when it won its coveted third star with him at the helm. The brothers will create exclusive dishes for Osteria d’Ovidio.
But while the appeal of having a big-name chef onboard is clear, what’s in it for the restaurant in question?
“We were attracted to the challenge of taking our cuisine around the world, and organizing everything meticulously –from the selection of the ingredients to the way the dishes will be presented and served,” says Max.
“What we appreciate about Crystal is the pursuit of quality and the desire to create the highest and most varied
offering possible for guests,” adds Raf. “There’s no chance to get bored; routine doesn’t exist. Every day can be different. It is like walking through a small town that has many restaurants.”
This is a sentiment shared by Giraudi. “A ship is like any big city. You have to have a mix of restaurants. And I think with the revamp of Crystal, they’ve understood that,” he says.
So, what can guests expect from these new offerings? Beefbar, which is taking over the space formerly occupied by Tastes, will be open for poolside lunches as well as a more elevated evening dining experience.
“Our lunch menu is more deli-style,” Giraudi explains. “People do not necessarily want to go for a four- or fivecourse lunch; they want to have one of the best burgers they can by the pool, and that’s as elevated as it gets. We’re doing a bigger range of pizzas, our famous sliders and a smash burger.”
He is also enthusiastic about his new range of beef cold cuts. “We are now doing very good marbling in beef. And when you start marbling beef, you can do more than steaks, such as ham. So we’re also going to have all the hams that I’m producing – the ribeye ham is amazing. We will use them to make a Ruben sandwich and things like that.”
Dinner, meanwhile, will be more like that at the landbased restaurants, although Giraudi is keen to stress the uniqueness. “With Beefbar, every restaurant is different; we do not photocopy the style. We keep the DNA on the menu, but we try to give a different experience depending on where the restaurant is situated. On Crystal, because it’s open for lunch and dinner, it’s more casual. I want diners to feel relaxed. It’s still elevated but they’re on holiday so you want them to feel great. Drink wine, have some steak – it’s simple.”
The Alajmo brothers feel the same. “I want guests to feel at home and relaxed while eating,” says Max. “Let’s put formality aside and focus on having fun,” adds Raf. Along with the new dishes created for Crystal, they will be serving the most popular items from their menu at Le Calandre. Their aim? “Osteria d’Ovidio will be an embassy for Italy in the middle of the sea. We want to meet the expectations of the guest on vacation who decides, ‘Tonight, I’m going to Italy’. Our success will be in making them feel and experience Italy at the table.”
It’s a concept to which Chef Nobu adheres. “In the restaurant business, the most important things are good food, good service, and good atmosphere,” he says. “Umi Uma is a mix of friendly and comfortable, with really good food and service. Because it’s on a cruise ship, it’s homier – you get to know the same customers every day. That means you get to make it more like a family.”
And with Beefbar and the Alajmo brothers, the Crystal family has just become bigger – and better.

A WORLD OF OPPORTUNITY
With
more exclusive A&K Land Experiences rolling out on Crystal itineraries over the coming year, we checked in with Geoffrey Kent, pictured, the founder
of Abercrombie & Kent, to see what guests can expect.
What elements of the Abercrombie & Kent experience do you want to give to Crystal guests?
When I started A&K, I wanted to create journeys that were adventurous by day and luxurious by night. I wanted my guests to experience the thrill of adventure while also enjoying the comforts of home.
Many people refer to Crystal as a home away from home, so Crystal in the A&K family makes perfect sense. I want Crystal guests to experience the same level of service and attention to detail that A&K guests have come to expect. I also want them to have the opportunity to experience the world’s most amazing destinations in a way that is both luxurious and adventurous.
How do you see the A&K and Crystal partnership developing?
Both A&K and Crystal are committed to providing our guests with exceptional travel experiences. I believe that by working together, we can create even more amazing journeys for our guests.
How have you found the cruising experience with Crystal?
I’ve sailed a few times with Crystal, and I am incredibly impressed with it, particularly after the recent revitalisation. The attention to detail throughout the ships is remarkable. They’ve managed to capture a classic sense of luxury while incorporating modern design elements.
When people are enjoying the comforts of the ship, it can be hard to persuade them to disembark – what would you say to encourage people to explore the destinations the ship visits? The shore excursions are an essential part of the Crystal cruising experience. They provide our guests with the opportunity to experience the destinations they visit in a more intimate way. Crystal shore excursions are designed to be both informative and enjoyable. They are led by experienced guides who are passionate about sharing their knowledge of the local culture and history.
What’s your favourite place to cruise to?
The Mediterranean holds a special place in my heart. Cruising its shores allows you to immerse yourself in the ancient civilisations of Greece and Rome, savour the culinary delights of Italy and France, and witness breathtaking landscapes from the Amalfi Coast to the British Isles.
Looking ahead, I’m very excited about Crystal’s 2026 itineraries. The opportunity to explore East Africa, with its vibrant cultures and incredible wildlife safaris, is particularly appealing for Crystal guests. The chance to witness the cherry blossom season in Japan is another experience that I can’t recommend enough.
And finally, what’s the one thing you always pack?
A sense of adventure!

Castries in Saint Lucia is next, a tangle of rainforest and powder sands in the shadow of two towering peaks, the Pitons.

Finally, enjoy a thrilling zip across the treetops in Tortola before spending two restful days at sea as we make our return to Fort Lauderdale.
It’s not all about the beach on this relaxed trip from Florida to Barbados
Departing Fort Lauderdale, we get into the groove with a relaxing day sailing to Grand Cayman, where there’s art to appreciate and interesting architecture to see. Jamaica’s Montego Bay is next. It’s not just about the beach here; for a different vibe, try bamboo rafting, explore the Green Grotto Caves, and sample farm-to-table cooking.

Departing Bridgetown in Barbados, we travel across the north coast of South America to Cartagena in Colombia. Our first port of call is Grenada, an island famous for growing spices and distilling some mighty powerful rum. A relaxing day at sea follows as we travel to Bonaire, the first of the three Dutch Antilles known as the ABC islands, to roam its colourful streets and sit in the shade of the mimosa trees. A day in Curaçao follows, allowing ample time to shop in the floating market in Willemstad, followed by Oranjestad in Aruba, where off-road safaris and helmet diving are among the activities on offer. One last day at sea, enjoying the ship’s comforts, takes us to our final port of call, Cartagena in Colombia.

Buzzy Bridgetown delivers us to powder sands loved by celebrities before the twin volcanic cones, the Pitons, signal our approach to Saint Lucia.

Two more days at sea transport us to another place steeped in history, Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic, and you can find out more about the island in the museum at our next stop, Samana.

Crossing continents is the quest of this epic journey across the seas
We leave the capital of Portugal far behind but not the country, calling first at Madeira, garlanded with lilies and passion flowers thanks to its mild climate.

Four days at sea allows lots of time to slip into cruise life and enjoy all the ship has to offer. Then Antigua emerges on the horizon. Bask on one of its many beaches before we hop across the Caribbean, visiting Tortola in the British Virgin Islands to snorkel with turtles, and Puerto Rico to stroll the pretty pastel-coloured streets of San Juan.

First is Kralendijk, in Bonaire, to explore the kaleidoscopic world within its coral reef. This is followed by Willemstad in Curaçao, a good spot to discover more about these islands’ Dutch colonial past, and Oranjestad in Aruba, to embrace the incredible nature in the Arikok National Park. There’s more nature to enjoy at Tayrona Natural National Park on our next stop, Santa Marta, on the Colombian coast. Relax at sea for a day, bound for the exciting experience of cruising the Panama Canal, one of the great man-made wonders of the world.

It’s time to cross the border to Mexico for the palm-fringed beaches of Zihuatanejo, where dolphins and sea turtles play in the waves, and Manzanillo, famed for marlin fishing. Laidback Puerto Vallarta, a city known for giving a warm welcome to members of the LGBTQ+ community, comes next, followed by a couple of days onboard as we make our way across yet another border to the U.S. and our final destination, San Diego, where you can raise a glass of local craft beer to your trip.

Then we will just relax for the day at sea as we journey towards Norfolk Island, a tiny drop of Australian territory almost halfway between New Caledonia and New Zealand. Our final day is spent in New Zealand's waters, enjoying life onboard before exploring the stunning Bay of Islands. All too soon, it’s time to disembark in the city of Auckland.
North and South – tour the highlights of New Zealand
Experience the beauty of New Zealand and South Australia on this captivating voyage. Casting off from Auckland, we sail along the North Island’s east coast to Tauranga to enjoy the invigorating mix of traditional Maori and contemporary cultures. The South Island’s Lyttleton, gateway to Christchurch, is next, followed by the soaring cliffs and wide skies of Timaru, where nature enthusiasts can hike in the hills and urbanites can enjoy a perfect coffee on the boardwalk. Awe-inspiring beauty is witnessed while cruising Dusky, Doubtful, and Milford Sounds. Then, two days sailing on the Tasman Sea offer opportunities to unwind and fully enjoy all our ship has to offer, before disembarking in Melbourne.
One voyage, two continents: from Australia to Indonesia
This voyage delves into the wonders of Australia and Indonesia, a diverse mix. Departing Melbourne, our first port of call is Sydney, to see its iconic Opera House. Sailing up the Gold Coast we reach Brisbane, a city celebrated for its dynamic culinary scene. Don your mask and snorkel at Airlie Beach, a gateway to the Great Barrier Reef, before we continue north to Cairns’ divine beaches, then Thursday Island for its pink and orange sunsets. Just before we leave Australia, discover Darwin and the 20,000-year-old rock art in Kakadu National Park. A day at sea promises time to disconnect as we head to Indonesia, where we’ll stop in Waingapu in Sumba and Komodo, famous for its dragon of the same name, and finally, beautiful Bali.
JOURNEY 2025 GRAND
Crystal’s Grand Journeys have been designed for discovery. Join us as we sail on extended itineraries to destinations that range from familiar favourites to off-the-beaten-track discoveries. With shore excursions powered by Abercrombie & Kent, long stays in port, and multiple overnights, we make every moment matter, whether you are onshore or at sea.
Bathe in the beauty of Northern Europe’s White Nights on this 40-night voyage. Starting with an overnight stay in Stockholm, we travel to see the medieval charms of Tallinn and the historic beauty of Visby and Riga before calling at Copenhagen for an overnight stay. Onwards we go to Kristiansand, the Shetland and Orkney Islands, and the breathtaking landscapes of Iceland and Norway. Sailing all the way to the North Cape, we turn south for Amsterdam before approaching Britain and the end of our journey in Liverpool, the hometown of The Beatles.

TAHITI AND BORA BORA
Fall in love with the South Pacific's sugar-sand beaches, turquoise lagoons, and pearly-white atolls. Hike up Bora Bora's Mount Otemanu and snorkel amid a kaleidoscope of tropical fish in Rarotonga in the Cook Islands. Fastforward 24 hours as we sail over the dateline, spying humpback whales in Tonga and dazzling emerald rainforests in Fiji, location of our next port of call, Lautoka.
FIJI AND AUCKLAND
Fill your senses on this cruise around the pearls of Melanesia. Departing Lautoka we head to Suva, also in Fiji, before raising a glass to Champagne Beach in Vanuatu, where we will be welcomed with a traditional water music ceremony. We sail on to explore New Caledonia and Norfolk Island, and the Bay of Islands provides a delightful delay before our next destination, Auckland, in New Zealand.
AUSTRALIA AND BALI
Delve into the diverse wonders of Australia and Southern Asia. Departing Melbourne, for Sydney, with its iconic Opera House, we continue to the great cities of Brisbane, Cairns and Darwin. Crossing the Timor Sea to Indonesia, we stop in Kupang and Komodo, famous for its eponymous dragon. Next, the terraced rice paddies and serene beaches of beautiful Bali come into view.
HONG KONG AND VIETNAM
Sail into spring in the South China Sea. Leaving behind the neon lights of Hong Kong, our first stop is the natural wonder of Ha Long Bay in Vietnam, where emerald waters lap hundreds of limestone islets. On we go to visit Ho Chi Minh City on the Saigon River. Next, we head for the bright lights of the Thai capital, Bangkok, and call by Koh Samui, before we head to Singapore.
SINGAPORE
Departing Singapore, we call at Port Klang, gateway to Kuala Lumpur, and Penang in Malaysia, then Thailand's blissful beaches in Phuket. Our first sight of India is Port Blair, followed by Chennai, famed for its curries, and French colonial Pondicherry. We hop to Colombo, Sri Lanka's bustling capital, before returning to India as Mormugao comes into view, before reaching Mumbai.
MUMBAI
Embrace life in the fast lane in India’s city that never sleeps. This is also India’s pulsating commercial heart, an urban catwalk for fashionistas and Bollywood stars, where you’ll find some of the finest hotels, restaurants, bars and boutiques the country has to offer. There is fabulous sightseeing, too, with colonial-era structures and futuristic skyscrapers, from the Raj-era Gateway of India to the 21stcentury Palais Royale, India’s tallest building. Then there’s the markets, rickshaw rides, even a national park... See it all for yourself because, in Mumbai, seeing is believing.
