Ocean Voyages
Larger ships with room to roam, for long passages and many ports.
The ocean lines, in their own words
Crystal: Crystal changed hands in 2022, and its two ocean ships returned to sea in July 2023 after a refit in Trieste that cut capacity from 980 to 740 guests on Crystal Serenity and from 848 to 606 on Crystal Symphony, all in ocean-view rooms and suites. The food is the signature, beginning with a long partnership with Nobu Matsuhisa: Umi Uma, a Japanese-Peruvian restaurant billed as the only Nobu at sea, serves his black cod among other dishes, with limited seats on each sailing. The menu at Osteria d'Ovidio comes from the Alajmo brothers of Le Calandre in Padua, where Massimiliano Alajmo became the youngest chef to earn a three-MICHELIN-star rating, and is arranged as Italia, Le Calandre and Venezia. Since 2024 it has also carried Beefbar, the first at sea.
Something particular in mind
