The world of luxury cruises embarks on a new horizon as Crystal announces its stellar lineup of voyages for 2025 aboard the magnificent Crystal Serenity and Crystal Symphony. With the recent acquisition by A&K Travel Group, the brand elevates the cruise experience to unparalleled heights, combining immersive cultural encounters with exotic global adventures.
Spanning an impressive 112 countries and making a splash in 281 ports, both ships promise a curated experience. The enticing itinerary features an exquisite blend of familiar favourites and around 144 freshly charted destinations, ranging from the mystic Faroe Islands to the bustling streets of Shanghai. Over 73 sailings and 720 days, travellers will be privy to a world of wonder and awe.
In the words of Cristina Levis, the dynamic CEO of A&K Travel Group, “The 2025 itineraries are more than just routes. They are carefully crafted stories waiting to unfold. Our guests, both past and upcoming, will have the opportunity to tread lesser-known paths and indulge in unparalleled experiences, thanks to our collaboration with Abercrombie & Kent.”
Unveiling the Crystal Serenity’s 2025 Highpoints.
Following its world tour, the Serenity is all set to sail from Marseille, exploring the balmy waters of the Mediterranean and Baltic Seas. History aficionados can walk the alleys of Pablo Picasso’s Málaga or marvel at the picturesque timbered structures in Ronne. Riga, Latvia’s capital, beckons with its pedestrian-only medieval Old Town. Nature lovers are in for a treat with a visit to Longyearbyen, Svalbard’s heart, renowned for the ethereal Northern Lights. The Serenity also marks its trail through stunning Nordic stops like Tórshavn, Djupivogur, and Reykjavik. And come autumn, the ship sails to iconic North American harbours, finally basking under the Caribbean and South American sun during the festive season.
Crystal Symphony’s 2025 Rendezvous.
Starting the year in Southeast Asia, the refurbished Symphony boasts trips to untouched locales like Sihanoukville and Weh Island. With extended port calls in buzzing cities like Ho Chi Minh City and Shanghai, guests can immerse themselves in rich cultures. The ship makes a star-studded pitstop in Monaco during the Grand Prix and continues its Mediterranean journey, touching bases in Haifa, Dubrovnik, and the enchanting Greek islands. The Symphony culminates its year with a Middle East exploration, unveiling destinations from the historic Safaga port in Egypt to the lavish terrains of Dubai.
