Caribbean Idylls & Mediterranean Masterpieces, Crystal Cruises‘ 2022 Grand Voyage on Crystal Serenity will take guests on a one-in-a-lifetime 132-night ocean-spanning odyssey from Miami to Los Angeles. The expansive, destination-rich itinerary calls upon 82 ports in 32 countries and includes 11 overnights in some of the world’s most iconic cities including Istanbul, Monte Carlo, Naples and Cannes. Also on the to-visit list are the exclusive island enclaves of St. Barts, Madeira, the Canary Islands and many more.

For those with more limited time for globetrotting the option to choose from 11 cruise segments, ranging from nine to 16-nights, is perfect for today’s busy luxury traveler.
