Bookings are now open for next year’s world cruise aboard the newly renovated Crystal Serenity.
Departing San Diego or Miami, the voyage will visit 29 countries and 62 destinations over 125 nights, with the option to extend to 141 nights by adding a Panama Canal segment.
Colombia, French Polynesia, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Indonesia, India, Egypt, Jordan, Italy and the French Riviera will be among destinations visited.
Benefits for guests booking the world cruise include an “As You Wish” shipboard credit of $1,500 per person (based on double occupancy) and an air credit of $1,000 per person.
Crystal Society members will receive additional savings for a limited time.
A welcome celebration reception, gala dinners and specially themed onboard and shoreside events will be part of the special voyage.
Fernando Barroso de Oliveira, who has six decades of travelling experience, has been appointed Crystal’s World Cruise Ambassador.
“I am so looking forward to hosting our guests throughout the voyage sharing my expertise and ensuring every encounter is exceptional,” he said.
“Experiencing world wonders such as the pyramids of Egypt, Petra in Jordan, Ephesus in Turkey or the Colosseum in Rome while enjoying unique shore excursions curated by Abercrombie & Kent will be an experience of a lifetime,” he added.
“Throughout the course of their voyage, guests will be treated to the unparalleled service, world-class dining and entertainment that has made Crystal an award-winning cruise line for nearly 30 years.”
Crystal Serenity is currently undergoing an extensive refurbishment in Trieste, Italy and is due to relaunch on 31 July from Marseille.
Suites will be larger and updated with artisanal finishes. There will also be enhancements to the gyms and spa facilities, refreshed entertainment and events and a new pickleball court.
