Crystal has announced two key milestone dates in the construction of the first new ship scheduled for delivery in May 2028. This is the first new build for the brand in 25 years and under the ownership of Abercrombie & Kent Travel Group.
The ship’s steel cutting will take place in May 2026, with the keel laying occurring in December 2026, officially commencing the next chapter in Crystal’s legacy.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Luxury Travel Advisor.
