Crystal’s First New Luxury Cruise Ship to be Called Crystal Grace

Crystal’s first newbuild ship in 25 years will be named Crystal Grace. It is scheduled for delivery in May 2028.

“Crystal Grace is more than a name; it’s a promise. It reflects the effortless elegance, generous spirit, and sense of tranquility that define the Crystal experience,” said Cristina Levis, CEO of A&K Travel Group. “With this ship, we are honoring our heritage while continuing to evolve for a new generation of guests.”

According to the line, the name Grace was chosen to “reflect the ship’s refined aesthetic, seamless onboard experience, and the graceful way in which Crystal’s ships navigate the worlds’ most breathtaking destinations.”

The 650-passenger ship will offer all-suite accommodations and several dining choices including Nobu’s only restaurant at sea Umi Uma, the only Beefbar at sea, and menus designed by Michelin-starred Italian Alajmo brothers at Osteria d’Ovidio.

The ship will also boast a full ship perimeter promenade.

Details about Crystal Grace’s suite categories will be revealed in December, with additional news on the inaugural voyages, design features, and new onboard offerings, unveiled in the coming months.

As with the rest of Crystal’s fleet, on land Abercrombie & Kent will curate a series of land experiences and events across the world, powered by its network of integrated DMCs.

Crystal Grace will embark on its inaugural voyage on June 11, 2028, following a series of preview sailing. Bookings open for the inaugural season in April 2026, with a waitlist opening soon.
