EXCEPTIONAL EXPERIENCES

For 2023 and 2024, the award-winning Crystal Serenity and Crystal Symphony are embarking on incredible itineraries across the globe. Under the expert guidance of Abercrombie & Kent, customized excursions provide unprecedented access to off-the-beaten-path culture. Curated voyages include island hopping around the Caribbean, immersing yourself in the history of Asia, and catching the famous fall foliage of New England and Canada from an alternative view. But that’s just for starters — there are also wishlist journeys to the Panama Canal, the Middle East, Australia, New Zealand, the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, and Alaska. These voyages are extensive, ranging from seven to 18 nights at sea. Yet for the ultimate journey, Crystal’s 2024 World Cruise will explore 61 destinations in upwards of 28 countries over 125 nights (see next page sidebar). And as any consummate traveler knows, the destinations are only part of the journey: Onboard experiences are copious, from the newly designed courts for paddle tennis and pickleball to a world-class spa, gym, and wellness center replete with yoga and Pilates classes. The Connoisseur Club indulges guests in the finest cigars and cognacs, while the library is well-stocked, the fashion boutiques are glorious, and the special spaces just for children and teens are fun and fantastical.
