Overview

Looping the loop...

Westwards around the globe, with countries laid out like stepping stones before you. And what a path lies ahead: ancient temples sinking into dense jungles, futuristic skyscrapers rising from the desert, tiny islands steeped in myths, and dynamic cities humming with creative energy. Setting sail from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, this exceptional voyage weaves its way along the shores of Central and South America, including a memorable crossing of the Panama Canal, to the tropical Technicolor glory of the islands of the South Pacific. We trace the cinematic coastlines of New Zealand and Australia, bound for the spice and spirituality of Southeast Asia, from where you will delve into the splendours of the Middle East. Europe follows, bringing historic wonders and delectable food, before crossing oceans once again to return to Florida (you have the option to end your odyssey two weeks earlier in Barcelona, should you wish). With so much to see and experience, what Treasures of the Tides will you discover?

...And doing it in style

Crystal's 2028 World Cruise promises to be the most exceptional yet. Crystal voyages are all-inclusive, so everything onboard Crystal Symphony is taken care of, from butler service to Broadway-standard shows and creative masterclasses. The restaurants are outstanding, and include the only Nobu outpost at sea, Umi Uma®, Crystal's signature Italian fine-dining restaurant, Osteria d’Ovidio, and global dining sensation Beefbar – all complimentary and unlimited for World Cruisers.  There are a few extra treats in store for Crystal World Cruise guests, from limited-edition gifts to exclusive gala nights. Onshore, a series of elevated experiences created by luxury travel brand Abercrombie & Kent will offer deeper insights into the beating heart of every destination visited. These exclusive experiences include after-hours access to museums, private concerts, and dinners in UNESCO sites and exquisite palaces. Join Crystal on the journey of a lifetime.

Crystal Symphony

With elegant lines and sweeping ocean views, our intimate ship houses expansive suites and guest rooms, alongside a world-class choice of dining, wellness and entertainment.

Highlights

Lima

From pisco sours to Paso horses, this interactive experience offers an exhilarating deep dive into Peruvian culture. Upon arrival at the Fundo Mamacona estate, just outside of Lima, you’ll be greeted in high style by representatives from Peru’s three regions – coast, highlands, and jungle – who will be showcasing their traditions on this magical evening. While musicians play evocative Andean melodies, a spectacular parade of dancers will introduce you to the colors and customs of the region. Enjoy a pisco sour cocktail before watching displays of weaving, pottery-making, coca-leaf reading, and more. You’ll be entranced by the dancing Paso horses – officially declared a Cultural Heritage of the Nation – before an exquisite gala dinner of authentic specialty dishes. More breathtaking dancing concludes your feast before a theatrical show brings to life the myths, deities, and ancient traditions that continue to shape Peruvian heritage today. You’ll return to the ship inspired and awed by this uplifting event.

Ho Chi Minh City

Embrace Vietnamese culture, past and present, at this very special even starring the multi-talented artiste, Linh Nga. A captivating blend of music, dance and sensational flavors promises to create an unforgettable evening at the GEM Center, Ho Chi Minh City’s premier venue. Listen to the sonorous sounds of traditional drummers, and watch the mesmerizing moves of Linh Nga, star of cinema and TV and the country’s leading contemporary dancer. Sip hand-crafted cocktails and dine on delicious local cuisine paired with fine wines at a gourmet dinner. This elegant affair is sure to fill your senses and your spirit.

Dubai

We’re taking the scenic route to dinner tonight in Dubai, an exhilarating journey across the desert, dune-bashing in a 4WD. It’s the only way to experience this sea of sands, gasping in awe at the steep drops as you ride the roller coaster of waves, stopping to capture photos of this mesmeric landscape in the setting sun. Our destination is the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, where gazelles, oryxes, and camels roam. Here, you will be greeted by Al Ayyala dancers, serenaded by tabla musicians, and entertained by fire-eaters, as you dine on award-winning cuisine elegantly crafted to showcase regional flavors. It’s a memory you are sure to cherish long after the journey’s end.
