Luxury cruise line Crystal announced the release of three 2026 Grand Journeys that serve as an invitation to a world of intrigue, wonder and inspiration. 

These extended voyages forge a deeper, more meaningful connection with every destination, from the art and architecture of Europe to the idyllic islands of the South Pacific, with authentic experiences in every port.

With an industry-leading space-to-guest ratio, reduced passenger capacity and nearly one staff member per guest, elegant ships Crystal Serenity and Crystal Symphony offer larger, redesigned suites, exceptional and wide-ranging entertainment, and specialty dining restaurants.

An all-access pass to exquisite destinations

Crystal’s pioneering collaboration with Abercrombie & Kent will provide guests travelling on these longer journeys unique access to the hidden facets of some of the world’s most coveted destinations with like-minded friends and fellow travellers.

Passengers also get full access to exclusive events curated by experts in the region.

A&K Travel Group chief executive Cristina Lewis said of the voyages: “We’re thrilled to announce an impressive selection of Grand Journeys for 2026. These extended itineraries offer exclusive opportunities for immersion in some of the world’s most unique and sought-after destinations. We can’t wait for our guests to experience these unparalleled voyages along with the unique land experiences we are creating with our sister brand Abercrombie & Kent.”
