Crystal Serenity is the flagship of Crystal Cruises' ultra-luxury fleet, renowned for one of the most generous space-to-guest ratios at sea and a refined, all-inclusive onboard style. After the original Crystal Cruises collapsed in 2022, the ship was acquired by A&K Travel Group (Abercrombie & Kent) and given a comprehensive refit at Fincantieri in Trieste, returning to service in 2023 with far fewer guests, larger suites and reimagined dining and wellness venues. Today she carries around 740 guests with a crew of roughly 655, sailing worldwide itineraries including her signature grand voyages.
