Luxury cruising is about to enter an entirely new chapter—and we couldn’t be more excited to share it with you. Crystal Cruises has officially announced Crystal Grace, their first brand-new ocean ship in 25 years, and she is nothing short of extraordinary.
The name Grace was thoughtfully chosen to reflect the ship’s refined aesthetic, seamless onboard experience, and the elegant way Crystal ships navigate the world’s most breathtaking destinations. Scheduled to debut in June 2028, this remarkable new ship is designed for just 650 guests. It blends timeless sophistication with modern innovation, all while remaining true to the impeccable, personalized service that has long defined Crystal.
Every guest will enjoy spacious, all-suite accommodations, one of the highest crew-to-guest ratios at sea, and an atmosphere that is both refined and effortlessly welcoming. One of the most anticipated features? A full-ship promenade, perfect for leisurely oceanfront strolls as Crystal Grace glides into the world’s most breathtaking destinations.
And let’s talk dining. Onboard culinary experiences will be truly unmatched, all included in your voyage:
Umi Uma® – the only Nobu restaurant at sea
Beefbar – A unique gourmet food and wine pairing restaurant that offers an educational dining experience while enjoying some of the best vintages at sea.
Osteria d’Ovidio, with menus crafted by the Michelin-starred Alajmo brothers
On land, guests will benefit from exclusive Abercrombie & Kent-curated experiences, powered by their global network of local experts, making Crystal the only cruise line with this level of in-house destination immersion.
