Meanwhile, Crystal is set to introduce a new ship, Crystal Grace, which will debut in 2028.
The cruise line recently revealed the first suite renderings of its new vessel, which will include all-suite, all-veranda staterooms with enhanced storage.
Select suites will offer wraparound verandas, marking a first-ever configuration for the cruise line.
Grace’s most common suite will be the 31m2 aquamarine veranda suite, which features a vanity area and a comfortable sofa, with afternoon canapes served daily.
There will be multiple versions of this stateroom, which include a 7.9m2 veranda.
Some will feature a separate shower and bathtub, while others will offer a spacious walk-in shower and closet.
Meanwhile, the generous 114m2 penthouse suites are designed for guests seeking an elevated residential-style retreat.
These suites feature a 61m2 veranda, with the four penthouse suites at the aft of the ship on decks 7 and 9 including a 91.2m2 wraparound veranda. Each suite offers two walk-in closets and separate living/dining areas with ocean views.
