Crystal opens bookings for 2028 winter and spring sailings

Crystal Cruises has opened bookings for its 2028 winter and spring itineraries on Crystal Serenity. The programme between January and April 2028 features voyages in the Caribbean, Central America and the Amazon, plus a spring transatlantic crossing to the Azores.

 

In January, Serenity will offer round-trip voyages from Fort Lauderdale, with ports of call including the British Virgin Islands, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Mexico, Colombia and Costa Rica. While in February, the 740-passenger vessel will sail a 25-day Amazon voyage with calls in Manaus and remote river communities, and start sailings on the Caribbean Grand Circle voyage, taking in 14 Caribbean islands and five Central American countries.

 

In March, there will be warm-water sailings across Cartagena in Colombia, Roatán in Honduras and Belize, and in April, destinations include Puerto Rico, the Bahamas, Turks and Caicos and the Dominican Republic.  

The month culminates with a transatlantic sailing to the Azores, aligned with the spring migration of baleen whales, including blue, fin and sei whales. The season will conclude in Lisbon where Serenity will enter a scheduled dry dock.

Also in 2028, new-build ship Crystal Grace will sail an inaugural voyage on 11 June from Rome to Venice, with a summer season in the Mediterranean before crossing the Atlantic to New York for a Northeast and Canada programme, followed by a winter in the Caribbean.

 

Voyages for the newest addition to the fleet will go on sale in April 2026, with a waiting list due to open soon. The line has revealed designs for its all-suite accommodations onboard Crystal Grace, with new layout concepts, enhanced storage solutions and expansive wraparound verandas, a first for Crystal. 

 

Mario Parodi, vice-president of itinerary planning and port and fuel operations at Crystal, said: “Our approach to itinerary planning is rooted in a balance of cultural connection, natural beauty and unhurried discovery.

 

“These 2028 voyages for Crystal Serenity offer guests meaningful ways to travel, from the heart of the Amazon to the warmth of the Caribbean and the migratory waters of the Azores, while enjoying the generous space and refined ease of our onboard experience.”
