Embark on the Journey of a Lifetime: Crystal Announces 140-Night 2027 World Cruise on Crystal Serenity

Crystal Cruises has announced an extensive 140-night World Cruise for 2027 aboard the Crystal Serenity, offering an exciting itinerary that covers 83 destinations across 29 countries and 4 continents. This grand voyage, titled Stories of the South Seas, will commence on January 8, 2027, from San Diego, CA, and will conclude on May 28, 2027, in Vancouver, BC.

The cruise promises to deliver rich cultural experiences combined with the opulent service for which Crystal Cruises is known. The route will take guests through vibrant locales in Central and South America, picturesque landscapes in French Polynesia, the natural wonders of New Zealand and Australia, and the historical sites of Asia, capped off by the stunning scenery of Alaska.

Kicking off with a journey along Mexico’s coast and enriching stops in El Salvador’s Acajutla and Costa Rica, the cruise will then move to Ecuador, showcasing Manta and Guayaquil before heading across the South Pacific. Travelers will explore the spectacular lagoons of Bora Bora and Tahiti, along with the cultural richness found in Samoa and Fiji. The adventure continues to New Zealand, with stops in key cities like Auckland and Christchurch, and then to Australia, featuring visits to Sydney and the Great Barrier Reef.

In Southeast Asia, guests will encounter the ancient temples of Indonesia, the dynamic urban scenes of Singapore and Bangkok, and the cultural history of Ho Chi Minh City. The cruise will also visit Shanghai and Xiamen in China, Busan in South Korea, and various major cities in Japan, including Kobe, Hiroshima, and Tokyo. The voyage will culminate in Alaska, visiting destinations such as Sitka, Ketchikan, and the stunning Hubbard Glacier.

Many of the stops reflect those from Crystal’s 2019 itinerary, but with new tailored experiences offered in partnership with Abercrombie & Kent. Highlights will include private tours in Indonesia, culinary explorations in Thailand, and unique cultural ceremonies in Fiji, alongside visits to Easter Island’s monumental statues and French Polynesia’s breathtaking lagoons.

Onboard amenities will feature exceptional service, enhanced by insights from Crystal’s chairman and brand ambassador, Fernando Barroso de Oliveira. Guests who book the complete journey will enjoy exclusive perks such as business-class airfare or air credit, shipboard credits, unlimited specialty dining, themed events, and complimentary laundry and luggage services.
