A legendary encore
In the world of luxury travel, certain experiences transcend the ordinary to become truly extraordinary. This October, Crystal offers precisely such a moment as two-time Grammy Award winner Gloria Gaynor returns to the elegant Crystal Serenity for an exclusive encore performance.
After captivating guests during her 2024 appearance, the iconic performer – whose anthems have defined generations – will grace the ship’s intimate stage once more.
“Performing aboard Crystal Serenity was an absolutely wonderful experience – the warmth of the guests, the elegance of the ship and the incredible energy made it truly special. I am beyond thrilled to return this October for another unforgettable journey.”

The magic of music at sea
Keith Cox, Vice President of Entertainment at Crystal, believes that experiencing world-class entertainment while cruising on high seas creates a unique magic. He told this publication that performances by Ms. Gaynor deliver the enchanting moments that guests continue to cherish well beyond their journey’s end.
A fall voyage of distinction
Departing October 7th on a seven-night roundtrip voyage from New York City, passengers will witness Ms. Gaynor and her ten-piece band performing her timeless classics alongside selections from her 2019 Grammy-winning album “TESTIMONY” and previews from her forthcoming EP “Happy Tears.”
For the truly devoted fan, an intimate Q&A session – a highlight from last year’s sailing – offers rare personal access to this musical icon who recently headlined Brazil’s legendary Rock In Rio festival before 150,000 adoring fans.
New England’s coastal treasures
Between these once-in-a-lifetime performances, the voyage itself reads like a perfect New England fall idyll: Newport’s gilded mansions standing sentinel over the Atlantic; the artistic bohemia of Provincetown; Boston’s red-brick elegance; Bar Harbor’s rugged coastal beauty; and the marine splendors of Saint John, New Brunswick.
The renaissance of luxury at sea
This singular combination of exceptional entertainment and destination immersion embodies Crystal’s renaissance under A&K Travel Group ownership. The meticulously reimagined vessels now feature larger suites with bespoke finishes, almost one-to-one crew-to-guest ratios, and unprecedented culinary partnerships including Riccardo Giraudi’s Beefbar and Nobu Matsuhisa’s acclaimed Umi Uma – the only oceangoing outposts of each master restaurateur’s empire.
For the cruise guest who demands experiences that transcend the expected, Gloria Gaynor’s return to Crystal Serenity promises to be the fall’s most coveted ticket – a symphonic celebration at sea that bridges musical legend with luxury cruising at its most refined.
