A Caribbean Escape in Crystal Style
November 11-24, 2026 | Crystal Symphony®
Hosted by Cindi Sanden
Space is limited on this 13-night ultra-luxury Caribbean journey—reserve your suite now.
Set sail on a 13-night roundtrip Caribbean voyage from Fort Lauderdale aboard the newly refurbished Crystal Symphony®. With fewer than 700 guests and a nearly one-to-one staff-to-guest ratio, Crystal delivers an intimate, ultra-luxury experience—gourmet dining, elevated wellness, and warm, intuitive service—while you explore vibrant ports, white-sand beaches, and the cultural heart of the Caribbean.
A Small Ship with Big-Ship Amenities
Crystal Symphony combines the intimacy of a small ship with the choice and variety of a much larger vessel. Completely reimagined in 2023, she features spacious suites and guest rooms, expansive decks, and contemporary design, all while carrying just over 600 guests for an uncrowded, resort-like feel.
World-Class Dining, Including Nobu at Sea
Crystal is a culinary destination in its own right. Enjoy globally inspired menus in Waterside, the elegant main restaurant, or reserve a table at specialty venues such as Osteria d'Ovidio for refined Italian, Beefbar for elevated steakhouse favorites, and Umi Uma—the only Nobu-designed restaurant at sea—for Japanese-Peruvian cuisine.
Between meals, savor poolside bites, artisanal desserts, and classic afternoon tea in Palm Court.
Wellness, Spa & Enrichment
Find your balance at Aurora Spa, with sauna, steam, and a full menu of rejuvenating treatments, or work out in the Technogym® fitness center with dedicated instructors and daily classes.
Enrichment continues beyond wellness: enjoy live music, production shows in the Galaxy Lounge, lectures, movies in the Hollywood Theatre, and intimate evenings in venues like Avenue Saloon and Palm Court.
Sun-Drenched Days, Sophisticated Nights
This 13-night itinerary through "The Americas & Caribbean" showcases historic cities, island cultures, beaches, and coral-rich waters in a single journey. Sail from Fort Lauderdale into the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea, balancing sea days for relaxation with immersive port calls in New Orleans, Mexico, Central America, and the Western Caribbean.
