Crystal unveiled the new suite designs for Crystal Grace, which is scheduled to debut in May 2028. The accommodations on this new vessel—all suites with private verandas—have been reimagined with improved storage and some suites incorporating spacious wraparound verandas, a configuration never before seen on Crystal.
Designed by the renowned naval architecture firm GEM, with art direction and interior design coordination by the Milanese studio Studio Ibsen, the 337 suites showcase an extraordinary level of craftsmanship and attention to detail, hallmarks of Crystal for over 30 years. Accommodating up to 650 guests (double occupancy) and with a gross tonnage of 61,800, Crystal Grace has been carefully conceived to offer an intimate yet spacious experience, where each suite reflects a timeless balance of elegance, comfort, and contemporary sophistication.
Cristina Levis, CEO of AKTG, commented: “From the very beginning of the Crystal Grace design process , we focused on listening to our guests. Their preferences, habits, and onboard lifestyles guided every decision we made. These suites represent a thoughtful evolution of space, comfort, and accessibility, offering the elevated residential feel our guests desire, without sacrificing the elegance and privacy that define the Crystal experience.”
Each suite features a dedicated Crystal butler, offering refined and intuitive service tailored to each guest's preferences. From preparing the suite in the evening to coordinating every detail flawlessly, the butlers ensure a seamless experience. A selection of pillows, Jesurum 1870 linens, and supremely comfortable beds guarantee the best rest at sea.

“One of the features we know our guests will love most is the incredible amount of outdoor space, especially the wraparound verandas available in several suite categories,” said Bernie Leypold, Senior Vice President of Hotel Operations at Crystal. “We also focused on creating more intuitive storage, ensuring that every item—from luggage from a world cruise to souvenirs acquired en route—has its place. This added flexibility allows guests to truly relax and feel at home anywhere in the world.”
Scheduled for delivery on May 31, 2028, Crystal Grace will make her maiden voyage on June 11, 2028, following a series of preview sailings. The ship will represent a bold and elegant evolution of Crystal's legacy, combining innovation, timeless style, and sophistication, marking the next chapter in redefining luxury at sea.
Crystal will soon unveil new suite categories, including the first-ever Owner's Suite, designed to expand options and further elevate onboard living. Crystal Grace will go on sale in April 2026.
