Abercrombie & Kent celebrate 35 years with three new expedition voyages

A&K introduces its 2026-2027 portfolio featuring 15 Expedition Cruises across the Arctic, Antarctica, Northern Europe, the Mediterranean Sea, and remote islands of the Pacific and Oceans. Each voyage is elevated by A&K’s acclaimed Expedition Team, whose deep expertise and local knowledge ensure every journey is as enlightening as it is extraordinary.

“We have drawn on our more than three decades of expedition cruising expertise to design itineraries that reach far beyond the usual cruise routes – to places like St Kilda, Britain’s most remote point in the North Atlantic or the Marquesas in French Polynesia, which offers varied experiences from local communities, breathtaking snorkeling and scenic, challenging hikes,” says Stefan Kredel, Vice President of Expedition Cruising. “These are transformative adventures in places that few experience – all elevated by A&K’s signature style.”

What was once an intrepid way to observe wildlife in remote destinations has since been transformed into a luxury adventure, offering an unprecedented level of comfort and access across these new voyages for 2026.

NEW: An Arctic Wildlife Expedition in Svalbard (July 3-11, 2026)

Embark on Zodiac excursions alongside naturalist guides, in search of arctic wildlife, like walruses, reindeer, foxes and birds, and unique geology and landscape found in this region.

Meet local craftspeople who keep artisanal traditions alive and go ashore an uninhabited atoll on the Tuamoto Islands. Trek to secluded waterfalls, pay a visit to Paul Gauguin’s final resting place, and set out in search of tiki, petroglyphs and other archaeological relics on the remote Marquesas. Visit pearl farms, snorkel with blacktip reef sharks, stingrays, and other marine life, or simply relax on the pristine beaches of this idyllic paradise. 16 days from $21,995 USD / 17,050 GBP / $32,525 AUD

Exclusively Chartered to Deliver the Best

A&K scours the world’s finest expedition fleets, then exclusively charters the vessel best suited to each destination, reconfigured to accommodate fewer guests: just 148 (down from 184) on small explorer ships and 199 on expedition cruisers. This ensures a private balcony in every stateroom and suite, a staff-to-guest ratio of almost one staff member to every guest, and an optimized experience orchestrated entirely by A&K.

The Definition of All-Inclusive Cruising

A&K’s Expedition Cruises are always all-inclusive, from an engaging program of expert lectures, special events and curated shore excursions to à la carte dining or 24/7 room service, unlimited house drinks, including Champagne – and, for guests who book a suite, butler service throughout their cruise. Also included are airport meet-and-greets with transfers, Traveller’s Valet laundry service, complimentary Wi-Fi on board and in hotels, all gratuities, port charges and taxes, and complimentary polar gear for Arctic and Antarctic voyages. On all ships, apart from our adventure yachts in the Galápagos, an onboard doctor and nurse are on hand 24/7.

Special offer

A&K is offering guests 10% savings on select Expedition Cruises and Pre/Post Tour Extensions booked and paid in full nine months or more prior to departure.
