Experience the Ultimate Getaway: 150-Night World Cruise 2028 Aboard the Crystal Symphony

Crystal Cruises has unveiled plans for an extensive World Cruise titled "Treasures of the Tides," set to embark on January 11, 2028, aboard the Crystal Symphony. This marks the ship’s return to World Cruise service after a decade, culminating in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on June 10, 2028.

Bookings will be available to the public starting May 29, 2025. The voyage will be a roundtrip journey from Fort Lauderdale, visiting 84 unique destinations across 39 countries and all six continents. For those seeking a shorter trip, there is an optional disembarkation in Barcelona, Spain, on May 27.

The carefully curated itinerary aims to blend cultural capitals, hidden islands, and less-explored coastal towns, focusing on regional immersions and a relaxed travel pace. Shore excursions will be organized in partnership with Abercrombie & Kent, renowned for tailored travel experiences.

Notable maiden stops on the route include:

• Huahine, French Polynesia
• Nha Trang, Vietnam
• Mangalore, India
• Several Australian destinations like Kangaroo Island, Albany, and Geraldton.

Every month highlights different regional themes, starting with Caribbean and Central American ports in January, transitioning through significant South Pacific sites in February, and exploring New Zealand, Australia, and Southeast Asia in March. April includes cities across India and Southeast Asia, followed by a passage through the Red Sea and into the Mediterranean in May.

Guests venturing on the full cruise will have access to exclusive events in cities like Lima, Ho Chi Minh City, and Dubai, along with a celebratory finale to commemorate the journey’s conclusion. Fernando Barroso de Oliveira, Crystal’s Chairman and Brand Ambassador, is expected to accompany guests, offering his insights throughout the trip.

Pricing for the cruise starts at US$69,000 per person (based on double occupancy) and includes various amenities such as business class airfare allowances, onboard spending credits, unlimited specialty dining, themed events, private transfers, luggage service, complimentary laundry, and an initial medical consultation aboard. Additional curated experiences will also be available to those who complete the entire World Cruise.
