Crystal Opens 2026 Bookings, Includes Japan Cherry Blossoms

Crystal has officially opened bookings for its 2026 itineraries, which will take travelers to a variety of captivating destinations, including Indonesia, Japan, East Africa, and Baja California.

In 2026, passengers can look forward to immersive cultural experiences and exploration opportunities thanks to Crystal's collaboration with Abercrombie & Kent.

The Crystal Symphony will kick off the year with journeys across Africa and Asia, featuring highlights such as Japan's cherry blossom season, before heading back to the US for sailings in Alaska, Canada, the East Coast, and the Caribbean during the holiday season.

Meanwhile, the Crystal Serenity will focus on the Mediterranean and Northern Europe throughout the year. This ship will then embark on a transatlantic voyage through the Panama Canal, exploring the Pacific Coast of Central and South America, before concluding in California. From there, the Serenity will launch the 2027 World Cruise, departing from San Diego.

"We recognize that our loyal guests are eagerly awaiting the release of our 2026 itineraries," said Cristina Levis, CEO of A&K Travel Group. "Our team has been diligently working to craft the most exceptional and unforgettable travel experiences for our guests, from experiencing Japan’s stunning Cherry Blossoms during peak season to a complete solar eclipse in Western Europe. We are confident that the upcoming itineraries will exceed expectations and provide unparalleled adventures for all."

Bookings for individual cruise segments in the first half of 2026 will be available starting August 27, 2024, with the rest of the 2026 itineraries opening for booking by early December 2024.
