Sister brands Abercrombie & Kent and Crystal collaborate on luxury cruises
Abercrombie & Kent Partners with Crystal for Exclusive Cultural Voyages
Abercrombie & Kent’s expedition cruising division is joining forces with its sister company, Crystal, to introduce a new series of A&K Cultural Voyages aboard Crystal’s award-winning ships.
Launching with a pilot sailing in August 2026, the collaboration will see Crystal vessels host specially curated A&K itineraries, enriched by the expertise of A&K’s expedition team and a programme of immersive shore experiences.
According to parent company A&K Travel Group, the partnership represents “a natural evolution of a vision to create the ultimate luxury travel ecosystem, blending A&K’s six decades of exploration with Crystal’s unrivalled onboard service excellence.” A&K Travel Group acquired the Crystal brand in 2022 following its bankruptcy, before extensively refurbishing the ships and relaunching the luxury line in 2023.
The inaugural A&K–Crystal sailing will be a 12-day journey through Italy, Greece, and the Balkans, from Rome to Venice aboard the elegant Crystal Serenity.
Peace of mind
