Crystal have celebrated a major milestone with the ceremonial steel cutting of Crystal Grace, the brand’s newest ocean ship.
The moment marks the official start of construction and signals the next chapter in Crystal’s continued evolution.
Scheduled for delivery in May 2028, Crystal Grace represents a bold step forward for the brand, building on its legacy of service, spacious design and immersive, experience-led travel.
The ship will introduce a refined vision of luxury at sea, thoughtfully designed to elevate every aspect of the guest journey.
“As we look to the future, we are focused on creating ships that feel both deeply rooted in Crystal’s heritage and unmistakably modern, where space, service and experience come together in a way that is both intuitive and extraordinary,” said Cristina Levis, CEO of AKTG.
“Crystal Grace will do that for the brand and we are so proud that this moment with our partners at Fincantieri brings that vision one step closer to reality.”
Once delivered, Crystal Grace will join the fleet as a next-generation ocean vessel, offering expansive suites, including the brand’s first-ever Owner’s suite, elevated culinary concepts, Broadway-style entertainment and thoughtfully curated itineraries designed to connect guests more deeply to each destination.
She will embark on her inaugural voyage on June 11, 2028, from Civitavecchia (Rome) for an eight-night voyage concluding in Fusina (Venice).
