Crystal cruises has revealed two milestone dates for its first newbuild ship, due for delivery from Fincantieri in May 2028, marking the brand’s first in 25 years under A&K Travel Group ownership.
Steel cutting occurs in May 2026, with keel laying in December 2026.
Teams have worked on design, craftsmanship and technical innovation for the project.

Cristina Levis shared, “Behind the scenes, our teams have been working diligently on every element of this extraordinary project—from design and craftsmanship to technical innovation. These milestones represent more than construction progress; they are a testament to our shared commitment with Fincantieri to deliver the most exceptional ship at sea, on schedule and with an unparalleled attention to detail.”
