Get ready for an exciting ride as we take you through our latest blog! We're thrilled to share our upcoming journey from the vibrant city of Reykjavik, Iceland, all the way to the bustling streets of New York City, New York. Our adventure kicks off with a pre-cruise stay in Reykjavik, setting the stage for an unforgettable sixty-day voyage aboard the luxurious Crystal Serenity. This trip is our own version of a mini World Cruise or Grand Voyage, and we can't wait to bring you along!

This year, we're celebrating milestone birthdays for each of us, so we decided to combine six cruises into one incredible, extended cruise to commemorate this special occasion!

We're thrilled to be back in Reykjavik for the third time before embarking on another cruise adventure! We've also had the pleasure of transiting through this vibrant city three other times on previous cruises. Last September, we stayed here before boarding the Crystal Symphony, and in July 2021, prior to boarding the former Crystal Endeavor. We absolutely love this city—it's such an exciting place to explore on foot with so many fantastic sites to discover!

This journey features several ports we've explored on past adventures, plus exciting new ones! We sailed through Norway back in 2006, but this time, we're thrilled to visit the North Cape for the first time on this adventure!


We created a trailer to get into the spirit of this adventure and following this you will see the planned itinerary.  

Look for daily updates once this adventure kicks off! We absolutely love reading your comments, so don't hesitate to use this feature to ask questions and share your thoughts with us. We can't wait to hear from you!
The daily itinerary follows.
