Crystal has revealed new details about Crystal Grace, showcasing a collection of thoughtfully designed family-friendly and outdoor spaces that will elevate the guest experience aboard the company's newest ship, slated to debut in 2028.
Located on deck 11, Crystal Grace's new youth area has been conceived as a dynamic meeting point where younger guests can enjoy the freedom of outdoor play surrounded by the sea.
The space will feature a shallow pool, outdoor recreational games, and comfortable areas for families to spend time together in a safe and welcoming environment. Designed to encourage active play and social interaction, this new concept reflects Crystal's commitment to creating meaningful experiences for younger guests, without compromising the sophisticated aesthetic that defines the brand.
Also located on deck 11, the completely renovated Waves Teen Center has been significantly expanded, becoming the largest teen space in the entire Crystal fleet.
Created exclusively for guests aged 13 to 17, the venue will feature a large entertainment lounge equipped with a big screen for video games, movies and group activities, as well as areas for card and board games, and a music and dance space with a sound system and dance floor.
The teen program will be available every day and will offer specific activities during peak family periods, including the summer months and the holiday season.
Opposite the Waves Teen Center, the little ones will enjoy a renovated Fantasia Children's Playroom, specially designed for children between 3 and 12 years old.
With creative activities and supervised experiences, Crystal's family-friendly offering includes childcare programs for the little ones, supervised activities for older children, and the continuation of in-suite nanny service.
The renovated playroom has been designed to offer an attractive and welcoming environment where children can learn, create and make new friends while parents enjoy the ship's many facilities.
“Crystal Grace represents the future of exceptional luxury travel, while maintaining the elements our guests value most. As more families and multigenerational groups choose to travel together, we have carefully expanded our offerings for younger guests and enhanced the outdoor spaces that make life at sea so memorable. These new spaces create opportunities for guests of all ages to connect, have adventures, and relax.”
Bernie Leypold, senior vice president of Hotel Operations at Crystal.
At the heart of Crystal Grace's outdoor spaces is the Seahorse Pool, the largest pool in the entire Crystal fleet. Located in the center of Deck 10, this expansive area will feature 140 sun loungers spread across Decks 10 and 11, offering ample space to relax, socialize, and enjoy uninterrupted ocean views.
A large outdoor LED screen will be the central point of activity both day and night, with live sports broadcasts, content about destinations, and movie nights under the stars.
For the first time, Crystal Grace will feature 60 private cabanas on Deck 11, offering guests an exclusive retreat overlooking the Seahorse Pool. Designed for privacy and relaxation, each cabana will accommodate two people and offer a prime view of the pool deck and the surrounding oceanscape. This new space will provide a tranquil setting to unwind, socialize, or simply contemplate the ever-changing ocean views. Cabanas will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Following its recent announcement that Crystal Serenity will be joining the ship during its upcoming dry-dock, Crystal Grace will also feature a new poolside bar, located in the center of Deck 10, just behind the main pool. Designed as a relaxed gathering place from day to night, it will offer an elegant setting for enjoying cocktails, conversation, and admiring panoramic ocean views.
Crystal Grace's maiden voyage will set sail on June 11, 2028, on an eight-night cruise between Civitavecchia (Rome) and Venice.
