Crystal is introducing five Grand Voyages itineraries in 2025, which range from 40 to 70 nights and feature far-flung destinations, overnight port calls, optional overland experiences created by sister company Abercrombie & Kent and more.

“We’re thrilled to announce an impressive lineup of Grand Journeys for 2025,” said A&K Travel Group CEO Cristina Levis. “These extended itineraries offer exclusive opportunities for immersion in some of the world’s most unique and sought-after destinations. We can’t wait for our guests to experience these unparalleled voyages along with the unique land experiences we are creating with our sister brand Abercrombie & Kent.” 

The longest of the itineraries, a 70-night voyage aboard Crystal Symphony departs on January 7, 2025, sailing roundtrip from Mumbai exploring 15 countries and 32 destinations. It will visit such destinations as Bangkok, Vietnam’s Ho Chi Minh City, Tokyo, South Korea and Brunei.

A 47-night journey aboard Crystal Symphony will depart on January 18, 2025, sailing roundtrip from Singapore, putting the spotlight on destinations in Taiwan, Thailand, Hong Kong, China and Japan.

On March 5, 2025, Crystal Serenity will sail on a 44-night itinerary from Rio de Janeiro to Mumbai, with calls in St. Helena, Namibia’s Walvis Bay, Cape Town,  Zanzibar, Mombasa, the Seychelles, the Maldives and Sri Lanka.
