Crystal Cruises has unveiled new suite renderings of Crystal Grace, set to debut in May 2028.
The ship’s all-suite, all-veranda accommodations have been reimagined with enhanced storage and select suites offering expansive wraparound verandas, a first-ever configuration for Crystal.
Designed by leading cruise ship architectural firm GEM, with overall art direction and interior design coordination by the Milan-based architecture and design firm Studio Ibsen, the 337 suites showcase an extraordinary level of craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail, hallmarks of Crystal for more than 30 years. Accommodating 650 guests (based on double occupancy) and measuring 61,800 gross tons, Crystal Grace has been thoughtfully conceived to offer an intimate yet spacious experience, with every suite reflecting a timeless balance of elegance, comfort and contemporary sophistication.
Cristina Levis, CEO of Abercrombie & Kent Travel Group, said: “From the very beginning of Crystal Grace’s design process we prioritised listening to our guests. Their preferences, their habits and the way they live while at sea informed every decision we made. These suites reflect a thoughtful evolution of space, comfort and accessibility, delivering the elevated residential feeling our guests have asked for while preserving the elegance and intimacy that define the Crystal experience.”
Every suite is attended by a Crystal butler, providing refined, intuitive service tailored to each guest’s individual preferences. From preparing the suite for the evening to ensuring every detail is flawlessly arranged, the butlers deliver a seamless sense of care. A curated pillow menu, bed linens by Jesurum 1870 and exceptionally comfortable beds ensure the most restful sleep at sea.
