Crystal Cruises teases 2026 programme with dates and stateside return

Ahead of the official launch scheduled for later in the year, the cruise line has unveiled the dates for its 2026 season, featuring destinations such as Indonesia, Japan, East Africa, Baja and California.

Crystal Symphony will begin her year in the Indian Ocean and Southeast Asia before returning stateside for the first time since the pandemic in the latter half of the year. She will begin her North American season in Alaska before heading to Canada and the East Coast, and will end her year spending the holidays in the Caribbean.

Following her World Cruise, Crystal Serenity will remain in the Mediterranean and Northern Europe before crossing the Atlantic to the Panama Canal to explore countries along the Pacific Coast of Central and South America. The vessel will spend the festive period in California before readying for the 2027 World Cruise which will depart from San Diego.

Cristina Levis, CEO of A&K Travel Group, said: “We recognise that our local guests are eagerly awaiting the release of our 2026 itineraries… We are confident that the upcoming itineraries will exceed expectations and provide unparalleled adventures for all.”
