ABERCROMBIE & Kent (A&K) has unveiled details of its 2024/25 expedition program, with itineraries including several first-time destinations such as the Solomon Islands, the North Pole, and Saudi Arabia.
The collection was launched during a visit to Australia by A&K Chief Tour Operating Officer, Kerry Golds, who’s pictured with the company’s local tour operations chief Debra Fox, who told CW the new cruise program was its most ambitious portfolio of shipboard expeditions yet.
A&K charters Ponant vessels for its cruise program, but takes over the onboard experience with its own expedition team, operating in English only and with passenger capacity capped at 80%.
The company ensures a private balcony for every stateroom and suite, a 1:1.3 crew-to-guest ratio and “an optimised experience orchestrated entirely by A&K”.
The new Arctic voyage will cruise aboard the Le Commandant Charcot luxury icebreaker.
“A&K is known for taking guests to the ends of the earth, but never before have we been able to offer an expedition to the North Pole,” Fox said.
“This is the perfect itinerary for new and accomplished travellers looking to check off the ultimate travel milestone from their bucket list.
“We are also debuting the most extraordinary and remote destinations, which many travellers are yet to visit, like Saudi Arabia and the Solomon Islands,” she added.
The program also includes additional departures to perennial A&K luxury cruise favourites Japan and Greece.
The program is now open for sale, and also features coastal cruising in France, Spain & Portugal, the Baltics, Seychelles & Coastal Tanzania, the British Isles, an Adriatic voyage taking in Croatia, Montenegro and Greece and two voyages to Antarctica.
A&K’s new 14-day South Pacific Cruise combines the Solomon Islands with Papua New Guinea, while the unique Greece, Turkey & Saudi Arabia itinerary includes a bucket-list Suez Canal transit.
