On August 30th, Crystal Cruises will commence the reservation process for a global voyage aboard Crystal Serenity set for 2025.
The cruise, spanning 123 nights, will embark from Port Everglades/Fort Lauderdale (Florida USA) on January 7th, 2025, and conclude its journey in Barcelona (Spain). This extensive voyage will encompass 17 nights of staying at ports and begins with an exploration of Mexico, Belize, Honduras, and Colombia.
Subsequently, the ship will cruise along the western coastline of South America, making stops at Guayaquil, Lima, and Pisco. Following an exploration of the Chilean Fjords, the ship will travel north along the South American coast, offering travelers the opportunity to partake in the Rio Carnival. Furthermore, guests will have the occasion to uncover the coastlines of Namibia and South Africa.
Abercrombie & Kent, the affiliated company, will provide opportunities for onshore excursions and extended trips. These multi-day trips to locations like the Galapagos Islands, Machu Picchu/from Cusco, Serengeti/from Zanzibar, and India's Ranthambore National Park will incur an extra cost.
