Crystal, which returned to service just two years ago, is already breaking its own records. The company reported its strongest booking quarter since its relaunch in 2023, closing the first quarter of 2025 with more than double the number of bookings compared to the same period last year.
According to Crystal the surge in demand not only highlights the growing momentum across the luxury cruise sector but also indicates a “resounding vote of confidence in the brand’s new chapter…”
Additionally, advance bookings continue to outpace expectations across both Crystal Serenity and Crystal Symphony. Crystal’s 2027 World Cruise has already surpassed all previous World Cruises in confirmed guests.
“Our success this quarter is just the start of something exceptional,” said Matias Lira, Crystal’s senior vice president of trade sales for Americas, UK & EMEA. “We have always been an incredible brand for advisors and guests to trust with their time and investment – now we are turning the tide to maintaining the same trust, and enhanced performance which will pave the road for our fleet’s growth and continued future success.”
