Crystal Cruises has opened bookings for its 2029 World Cruise, a 127-night voyage set to depart on 7 January from Melbourne, aboard the Crystal Symphony.

Sailing across five continents, the itinerary will conclude on 13 May in New York City, calling at 72 destinations in 22 countries, with 13 overnight stays. The programme also marks the line’s first-ever circumnavigation of Australia and introduces new ports of call, including Exmouth for Ningaloo Reef in Australia, Robinson Crusoe Island in Chile and Búzios in Brazil.

The first half of the journey features a cross-Pacific sailing, linking destinations such as Bali, Sydney and Auckland, before crossing the International Date Line. The itinerary then continues with island-hopping across French Polynesia, visiting the turquoise lagoon islands of Bora Bora and Papeete. It then heads to South America, with a call at the iconic Easter Island, and ends March with an overnight stay in Buenos Aires.
