When it comes to ocean travel, it’s never too early to start thinking about where to venture, particularly if you’re shopping for a route that’s a little bit longer this time. But with so many incredible options today, however do you narrow it down?
Crystal has the answer for you with its World Cruise 2025. A global adventure has always been in the back of your mind, after all, and this might be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for – the right time on just the right ship.
We’re meaning the newly refurbished Crystal Serenity. The epitome of elegant travel, she sails from Fort Lauderdale, Florida , to Barcelona , Spain , from January to May 2025. The route is a string of fascinating countries and cultures – Mexico and Central America, including the Panama Canal , down South America’s Pacific coast and around Cape Horn to Brazil . The thrill of three sides of Africa follows, before you head west to India, back into the Red Sea and through the Suez Canal to the Mediterranean . Just imagine 123 nights of total opulence, with visits to 62 destinations in 31 countries. Add in 17 incredible overnight stays in some of the world’s most fascinating cities and you have one very special world voyage.
Welcome to a whole world of elegance
Since taking the reins of Crystal in 2023, A&K Travel Group has more than just remodeled the Crystal Serenity, it has raised the level of sophisticated ocean travel to new heights. Guests can expect major refurbishments that include an increased number of butler suites and a reduced guest capacity, down to just 740 guests – you have all the space you need to feel at home. And the industry-leading space-to-guest ratio across the public areas secures a comfort not always part of the environment on other cruises. Spacious suites range from a single guest room with an ocean view to lavish penthouse suites – and all plush points in-between.
In addition to the world-class dining – amazing gastronomy includes the only Nobu restaurant at sea – the advanced wellness facilities and the first-rate entertainment, many fringe benefits have managed to weave their way into every facet of this extraordinary sailing. These include a business-class airfare credit, a healthy shipboard credit, private transfers, luggage valet, complimentary laundry, themed onboard events, onshore events and opulent galas.
