Crystal Cruises has announced that it will begin homeporting from Port Everglades in November 2024. The line will use its newly refurbished Crystal Serenity ship for the voyages.

The Crystal Serenity is a 740-passenger ship that is currently undergoing extensive refurbishment in Trieste, Italy. When it is completed later this summer, the ship will feature a number of new amenities, including:

• Larger, updated suites with artisanal finishes
• Cutting-edge onboard wellness facilities
• A revamped spa
• A new look for the specialty dining restaurants Umi Uma and Osteria d’Ovidio
• A new pickleball court
• Refreshed entertainment and events
• An industry-leading space-to-guest ratio of 1 to 93.1 cubic feet

Crystal Cruises is a popular choice for luxury travelers, and the addition of the Crystal Serenity to Port Everglades’s fleet is a welcome addition. The line’s reputation for exceptional service and its commitment to innovation make it a perfect fit for the South Florida market.

The Crystal Serenity will offer a variety of itineraries from Port Everglades, including Caribbean cruises, Panama Canal cruises, and South American cruises. The line has not yet released specific details about the itineraries, but they are expected to be announced later this year.

Crystal Serenity’s homeporting in Port Everglades is a positive development for the South Florida cruise industry. The line’s arrival will help to boost the local economy and provide more options for luxury travelers.
