Crystal calls this incredible voyage around the Pacific Rim “Stories of the South Seas.” Crystal Serenity sets sail from sunny San Diego on January 8, 2027, and ends in the charming city of Vancouver, British Columbia, on May 28, 2027.

For those craving immersive, transformative travel, the 2027 World Cruise delivers in spades. Highlights include guided culinary tours through the fragrant markets of Thailand, private access to Indonesia’s ancient temples, and once-in-a-lifetime cultural experiences like the mesmerizing firewalking ceremonies in Fiji. Guests will also uncover the secrets of Easter Island’s enigmatic statues, glide through the turquoise lagoons of Bora Bora, and marvel at the wild beauty of New Zealand’s fjords.
