Crystal has lifted the curtain on its 2029 World Cruise, a 127‑night global journey aboard Crystal Symphony that connects Melbourne and New York City via 72 destinations, 22 countries and includes a full circumnavigation of Australia.

• Cross the International Date Line, gaining a day on the way east across the Pacific.
• Explore Chile’s fjords, Robinson Crusoe Island, and Easter Island, then head to Argentina, Uruguay, and Brazil.
• Sail deep into the Amazon River, and finish in New York.

The itinerary includes 13 overnights, notably in Hanga Roa (Easter Island) and Ushuaia, with new ports such as Exmouth in Western Australia, Robinson Crusoe Island in Chile, and Búzios in Brazil.
