Crystal Cruises has announced its lineup of 2025 itineraries onboard Crystal Serenity and Crystal Symphony. Both ships will visit approximately 144 new destinations such as the Faroe Islands, Haifa and Shanghai, for a combined total of 720 days over the course of 73 sailings visiting a total of 112 countries and 281 ports. These voyages will be available to book online on September 27.
After completing the World Cruise in May 2025, Crystal Serenity will depart from Marseille and sail the Mediterranean and Baltic Seas, visiting destinations such as Pablo Picasso’s hometown of Málaga, the half-timbered town of Ronne, Latvia’s capital Riga, known for its pedestrian-only medieval Old Town, and more. Guests can also visit Longyearbyen, the largest inhabited area of Svalbard, Norway—known for its views of the Northern Lights. With calls to the Faroe Islands and Iceland, passengers will discover Nordic destinations including Tórshavn, Djupivogur and Reykjavik, among others.
For a leaf-peeping getaway, guests onboard Crystal Serenity from September to November 2025 will visit iconic North American ports of call such as Québec City, Gaspé, Newport, Boston, Portland, New York City and more. For those who wish to partake in the holiday season at sea, sun-filled voyages include Caribbean and South American destinations such as Montego Bay, Aruba, Cayman Islands, Cartagena, the Panama Canal and others.
Kicking off 2025 in Southeast Asia, the newly refurbished Crystal Symphony will explore remote destinations, including Sihanoukville, known for having the best beaches in Cambodia, along with Sabang and Weh Island, the small active volcanic island to the northwest of Sumatra. With multi-day port calls to the region’s top urban centers including Ho Chi Minh City, Halong Bay, Laem Chabang and Shanghai, passengers will have even more time for in-depth cultural immersion. Other destinations include Palawan in the Philippines, and Brunei.
Timed with the Grand Prix, Crystal Symphony will visit Monaco and Villefranche-sur-Mer. Mediterranean highlights include calls to Haifa, Dubrovnik and Cyprus, in addition to Greece’s Zakynthos, Corfu and Santorini. The latter half of 2025 will be spent in the Middle East visiting a variety of destinations ranging from the small Egyptian port of Safaga (Luxor) and Dubai, to the more remote Salalah, the third-largest city in the Sultanate of Oman, known for its marine life.
