Crystal has confirmed an order with Fincantieri for a third next-generation ocean ship, scheduled for delivery in 2034!

The vessel will join Crystal Grace, scheduled to debut in 2028, and a sister ship arriving in 2031.

The 62,000-gross-ton ship will accommodate 650 guests and feature all-veranda suites, including an Owner’s Suite and new accommodations for solo travelers. Additional features include a wraparound promenade inspired by Crystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity, outdoor dining venues, and specialty restaurants with al fresco seating.

“Seeing Crystal Grace move from vision to reality has been tremendously rewarding, and today’s announcement demonstrates our unwavering confidence in Crystal’s future. This third ship reflects our long-term commitment to the brand and to our guests, who continue to inspire us to raise the standard for luxury cruising around the world,” said Manfredi Lefebvre d’Ovidio, Executive Chairman of A&K Travel Group.

“The effectiveness of the contract signed back in 2024 is a testament to the strength of our partnership with Crystal and A&K Travel Group and reflects our shared commitment to innovation, craftsmanship and excellence. We are proud to continue building a new generation of luxury ships that combine Italian shipbuilding expertise with Crystal’s uncompromising vision for exceptional hospitality at sea,” said Luigi Matarazzo, General Manager of Fincantieri’s Merchant Ships Division.

The addition of the third vessel will expand Crystal’s next-generation ocean fleet to three ships between 2028 and 2034.
