Crystal Unveils New Ship Crystal Grace, Debuting in 2028

Crystal has officially named the first of its three new ships: Crystal Grace, set to debut on June 11, 2028. The 650-passenger, 61,800-ton vessel is currently under construction at Fincantieri’s shipyard in Italy and marks the ultra-luxury line’s first newbuild since its acquisition by the Abercrombie & Kent Travel Group in 2022—and its first new ship in 25 years.

“Crystal Grace is more than a name; it’s a promise,” said Cristina Levis, CEO of A&K Travel Group. “It reflects the effortless elegance, generous spirit and sense of tranquility that define the Crystal experience.”

Crystal Grace will feature all-suite accommodations along with elevated entertainment and world-class dining. The ship will include Umi Uma, the only Nobu restaurant at sea; the only Beefbar at sea; and menus crafted by the Michelin-starred Italian Alajmo brothers at Osteria d’Ovidio—all included in the voyage fare, according to A&K.

Following A&K’s $170 million investment in the refurbishments of Crystal Serenity and Crystal Symphony, the launch of Crystal Grace signals the next phase of the brand’s revival. Bookings for the ship’s inaugural 2028 season will open in April 2026.
