Crystal Grace will make her official debut on June 11, 2028, in Civitavecchia (Rome) with an inaugural voyage that visits Sorrento, Igoumenitsa, Kotor, Split, Zadar and Trieste before continuing to Venice launching a Mediterranean season that explores Southern Europe’s historic coastlines and cultural capitals.  Throughout the summer, the ship will operate voyages across Italy, Croatia, Greece, France and Spain, with stops in Valencia and Monte Carlo. The ship will be christened during an overnight stay in Monte Carlo during the July 8, voyage that departs from Barcelona. Guests will also have the opportunity to combine select sailings into five extended journeys, including two 34-night itineraries thoughtfully designed with no repeating ports.

In September, Crystal Grace sails west from Lisbon via the Azores to Halifax and New York, beginning a series of fall voyages in New England and Eastern Canada, including Quebec City, and Charlottetown. November itineraries include Bermuda and Caribbean departures from Fort Lauderdale, with calls in Antigua, St. Lucia, Aruba, and Barbados.
