The Crystal Serenity will offer its first complete circumnavigation of the globe for its 20th annual world cruise in 2015, said Crystal Cruises.
In announcing itineraries for all of 2014 and early 2015, the luxury line said it will make nine maiden calls in 2015, including mbodifototra and Tolanaro, Madagascar; Richards Bay, South Africa; Sanya, China; and Albany, Australia.
Virtually all of its itineraries from January to mid-April will be new, it said.
In 2014, Crystal said nearly every itinerary features at least one overnight stay, plus two consecutive overnights in many places like Yangon, Myanmar; Shanghai; Hong Kong; St. Petersburg, Russia; and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
