The recent launch of integrated itineraries from sister companies Crystal and Abercrombie & Kent (A&K) is “just the start” of an era of collaboration between the two, according to AKTG SVP Marketing Strategy Kate Thompson.

The latest addition to the A&K Sanctuary fleet, Pure Amazon, has set sail on the waterways of the Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve in the Peruvian Amazon.

Abercrombie & Kent has further expanded its global network of destination management companies (DMCs) with the acquisition of Copenhagen-based Borealis DMC, tapping into demand for the “authentic wilderness experiences” available in the Nordics.

A&K Sanctuary’s new Kenyan safari lodge, Kitirua Plains Lodge, is now taking reservations from 1 June 2026 and beyond, as excitement builds around the opening of the “architecturally adventurous” property.

A&K Sanctuary has shared details of its fifth riverboat set to sail the Nile in 2026, touting Nile Seray as its “most sophisticated and spacious yet”.

In a move designed to enhance its global trade relationships, AKTG has announced the formation of a new Global AKTG Advisory Board, featuring top travel agency leaders from key markets.

The charitable arm of luxury travel company Abercrombie & Kent, Abercrombie & Kent Philanthropy (AKP), has reported record-breaking results in its 2024 Impact Report, marking a milestone in its six-decade commitment to community support.

Crystal has taken a major step forward in its fleet expansion, securing funding for two brand-new luxury cruise ships through an export credit facility supported by Italy’s SACE.

Abercrombie & Kent will continue to expand its global reach and luxury offering, with plans fast-tracked to develop a destination management company (DMC) in Bolivia in South America, LATTE can exclusively reveal.

Lisa Hunt and Anoushka Kudav will join the expanding Abercrombie & Kent Travel Group (AKTG) sales team in the new roles of Sales Director VIC/TAS, and Sales Director NSW/New Zealand respectively, representing both A&K and Crystal.

A&K is offering significant savings for solo travellers on select 2025 expedition cruises, with some sailings requiring no single supplement at all.

Abercrombie & Kent Travel Group (AKTG) has promoted Debra Fox to the new position of Managing Director for AKTG, UK and APAC, effective April 2025. This strategic move aligns with AKTG’s ongoing global expansion and commitment to providing exceptional travel experiences in key markets.
