Sarah Bretz, ContributorCrystal has announced the release dates for its 2026 itineraries as a prelude to the official launch. This provides guests with plenty of advanced notice to plan their next Crystal cruise.
After spending the first part of the year in Africa and Asia, including the enchanting cherry blossom season in Japan, Crystal Symphony will return to the U.S. for the first time since 2019 for a season in Alaska, followed by Canada and east coast sailings. The ship will close out the year with holiday sailings in the Caribbean.
Following her world cruise, Crystal Serenity will remain in the Mediterranean and northern Europe. Then she will embark on a transatlantic voyage which will eventually cross the Panama Canal to explore countries along the Pacific Coast of Central and South America before bringing her to California for the holidays. Serenity will then kick off the 2027 World Cruise from San Diego.
On August 27, 2024, individual cruise segments for the first two calendar quarters will begin rolling out for Crystal Serenity and Crystal Symphony. In the first week of December 2024, all remaining 2026 itineraries for both ships will be available to book.
“We recognize that our loyal guests are eagerly awaiting the release of our 2026 itineraries,” said Cristina Levis, CEO of A&K Travel Group. “Our team has been diligently working to craft the most exceptional and unforgettable travel experiences for our guests, from experiencing Japan’s stunning Cherry Blossoms 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.”
