Crystal Cruises unveiled plans this week for another epic world cruise to take place in 2019.
The luxury operator said the Crystal Serenity would kick off an 84-day voyage from Los Angeles to Monte Carlo on Jan. 13, 2019 that includes a wide range of stops in Australia and Africa.
The ship will head west across the Pacific to Hawaii, Fanning Island, Samoa, Fiji and New Zealand before arriving in Australia for more than half a dozen calls. From there, it'll sail across the Indian Ocean to Mauritius and France's Reunion Island before a series of stops in Africa that include ports in Madagascar, Mozambique, South Africa and Namibia.
Working its way north along the Africa coast, the Serenity also will visit Senegal with a detour to remote St. Helena island. Arriving in Europe, the ship will make several stops in Spain before the trip ends in Monte Carlo on April 8, 2019.
Shorter segments of the world cruises also are being sold.
Fares for the full world cruises start at $26,285 per person, not including taxes, fees and port charges of $3,360.
Crystal also is marketing two previously-announced world cruises that will take place in 2018 on the Crystal Serenity and Crystal Symphony.
