2028 Crystal Cruises World Cruise:

Treasures of the Tides – Full Itinerary & Highlights

Picture yourself greeting the dawn beneath Tahiti’s emerald peaks, toasting sunset over Singapore’s harbour and tracing history from Machu Picchu to Malta—all on a single seamless voyage.


On 11 January 2028,  Crystal Symphony glides out of Fort Lauderdale to begin Treasures of the Tides: a 150‑night, round‑the‑world adventure spanning six continents, 84 ports and 39 countries. Designed for travellers who crave depth as much as breadth, this itinerary features 15 overnight calls and strings together marquee icons with lesser‑known gems—think snorkelling Adamstown’s untouched reefs one week and candle‑lit Petra the next.

2028 Crystal Symphony World Cruise Itinerary at a Glance

Embarking on a 150‑night odyssey calls for more than a simple port list—so we’ve clustered Crystal Symphony’s 2028 route into nine distinct regions, each with its own rhythm, climate and cultural flavour.


From Caribbean coral gardens to Polynesian lagoons, Indian Ocean spice ports and Mediterranean wine‑steeped coastlines, every leg offers a clear sense of place and an unrushed tempo.


Scan the overview below to see when and where you’ll linger overnight, which sea days give you time to recharge on board, and how the voyage gently unfurls westward in a logical, season‑perfect sequence. Use this snapshot to pinpoint your personal “must‑dos,” then dive deeper into the day‑by‑day grid or talk to us here at Select Travel Holidays about segment options if you can’t commit to the full journey.
