Crystal Cruises has announced its most ambitious World Cruise to date, "Treasures of the Tides," a spectacular 150-night global journey aboard Crystal Symphony departing in January 2028. This landmark voyage will visit 84 destinations across 39 countries on six continents, marking the ship's triumphant return to World Cruise itineraries after a decade-long hiatus.

Departing from Fort Lauderdale on January 11, 2028, the journey will traverse the globe, from the Caribbean's vibrant ports to South America's dramatic coastlines, from the South Pacific's pristine lagoons to Southeast Asia's dynamic capitals, concluding in the historic Mediterranean. The itinerary features several inaugural calls, including Huahine in French Polynesia and multiple Australian ports, offering guests unprecedented exploration opportunities.

"This World Cruise represents a new standard in luxury exploration," says Fernando Barroso de Oliveira, Crystal's Chairman and Brand Ambassador, who will personally accompany the voyage. "We've crafted an experience that goes beyond traditional cruising, combining iconic destinations with lesser-known gems."

Starting at $69,000 per person, the cruise includes premium amenities such as Business Class Airfare allowance, exclusive shoreside events, and comprehensive onboard benefits. Bookings open to the public on May 29, 2025.
