Crystal Shares First Images of Specialty Dining Onboard Crystal Grace Cruise Ship

Crystal has released a new set of renderings for its newest cruise ship Crystal Grace, set to debut on June 11, 2028. Following the recent unveiling of the ship’s suite categories, the new renderings offer a first look at some of the specialty dining venues onboard.

“From the beginning, our vision for Crystal Grace was to build on the strength of our culinary partnerships while giving each venue a renewed sense of place and design. Working closely with our partners, Chef Nobu Matsuhisa, Chef Massimiliano Alajmo and Riccardo Giraudi, we’ve refreshed each restaurant with thoughtful design updates and the flexibility to introduce new menu elements over time,” said Gunter Lorenz, Crystal’s vice president of food & beverage operations. “The result is a collection of dining experiences that feel both familiar and excitingly new for our guests. We’re especially excited about the beautiful outdoor dining spaces, which will allow guests to enjoy exceptional cuisine in the open air — something we know will become a favorite part of the experience at sea.”

Here’s a look.

The popular specialty restaurant created in partnership with chef Nobu Matsuhisa, will feature a full-height glass wall with unobstructed ocean views. Located on Deck 5, the 84-seat restaurant also will include a sushi bar available on a drop-in basis.

Continuing Crystal’s collaboration with three-Michelin-starred Italian chef Massimiliano Alajmo and restaurateur Raffaele Alajmo, Osteria d’Ovidio will also return on Crystal Grace. Located on Deck 10, the venue will offer 68 seats indoors and 20 in the spacious outdoor terrace. A defining feature of the venue is its large, covered open-air dining area. It will share a connecting bar with Beefbar.

Beefbar also returns onboard Crystal Grace as part of Crystal’s ongoing collaboration with restaurateur Riccardo Giraudi. Located on Deck 10, adjacent to Osteria d’Ovidio, the venue was developed in close collaboration with Giraudi, who reviewed the design to ensure alignment with the brand’s global aesthetic. The restaurant will feature 56 seats indoors, complemented by an expansive outdoor dining area with 58 seats set across a large, covered terrace.
