Reimagined accommodations to feature wraparound verandas and extra storage

Crystal Cruises has revealed the first look at its reimagined suites aboard Crystal Grace, the brand’s first new-build vessel in 25 years. The luxury ocean ship is scheduled for delivery on 31 May 2028, ahead of its inaugural voyage on 11 June. Preview sailings will take place beforehand, with the launch season opening for sale in April 2026.
The all-suite, all-veranda ship will introduce new layout concepts, enhanced storage solutions and several firsts for the brand, including expansive wraparound verandas and an Owner’s Suite category, details of which will be announced soon.
The design of Crystal Grace’s 337 suites has been crafted by Italian architectural firm GEM, with art direction and interior design coordination by Studio Ibsen and inspired by guests themselves, with their preferences, habits and the way they live while at sea informing “every decision we made”, according to Cristina Levis, CEO of A&K Travel Group.

Accommodation Categories
Crystal Grace will offer six suite categories, all with private verandas ranging from 21 to 115 square metres, with guest rooms offering a 5.3-square-metre veranda, a sitting area with sofa, walk-in shower, and additional overhead storage.
