Crystal Cruises is introducing Boot Walk at Sea, a summer philanthropic series created in collaboration with The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.

According to a statement, the series is inspired by the Center’s annual Boot Walk to End Cancer event marking its 11th year this November.

Featured across the ships’ wellness-focused sailings starting on May 9, 2026, aboard the Crystal Symphony, and June 2, 2026, aboard the Crystal Serenity, the event will continue until the end of August.

“Through this collaboration, we can offer our guests an opportunity to engage in something both meaningful and personal. Boot Walk at Sea reflects our commitment to wellness while creating space for purpose-driven moments that resonate well beyond the journey,” said Cristina Levis, CEO of Abercrombie & Kent Travel Group (AKTG).

Once per sailing, guests will be invited to gather for a hosted promenade walk along deck 7 and use this as a moment of connection and intention with the mission to end cancer.

Participants will be able to contribute any amount per lap to support the work of the James P. Allison Institute at UT MD Anderson.

Building on the discoveries of Nobel Laureate James P. Allison, Ph.D., the Institute works on making immunotherapy available to all cancer patients.
