Crystal has officially named its first new oceangoing ship in a quarter century: Crystal Grace. The luxury vessel will launch on June 11, 2028, marking a major milestone for the brand as it accelerates its long-term fleet expansion under A&K Travel Group.
Two additional newbuilds are slated for delivery in 2031 and 2032, all constructed by Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri.
The Crystal Grace will come in at 61,800 gross tons and accommodate 650 guests at double occupancy, reflecting the line’s focus on spacious, high-end travel. Dining highlights will include signature venues such as Beefbar and Nobu’s Umi Uma, continuing Crystal’s reputation for elevated culinary experiences.
Details on suite categories are expected next month, with the inaugural season scheduled to open for sale in April.
Crystal’s existing vessels, Serenity and Symphony, reentered service in 2023 following extensive refurbishments. The debut of Crystal Grace signals the start of a new era for the brand as it returns to growth after years of transition.
