Crystal named the first of its new three ships, Crystal Grace, which will make its debut on June 11, 2028.
The 650-passenger 61,800-ton ship, which is under construction at Italy’s Fincantieri shipyard, is the ultra-luxury line’s first newbuild since the company was acquired by Abercrombie & Kent Travel Group in 2022.
It is also the first newbuild for Crystal in 25 years.
“Crystal Grace is more than a name; it’s a promise,” said A&K Travel Group CEO Cristina Levis. “It reflects the effortless elegance, generous spirit, and sense of tranquility that define the Crystal experience.”
In addition to all-suite accommodations, Crystal Grace will feature “entertainment and world-class dining including Umi Uma, the only Nobu restaurant at sea, the only Beefbar at sea and menus designed by the Michelin-starred Italian Alajmo brothers at Osteria d’Ovidio, all included in the voyage price,” A&K said.
When A&K acquired Crystal, it spent $170 million in renovating Crystal Serenity and Crystal Symphony.
Bookings for the ship’s inaugural 2028 season are set to open in April 2026.
