Abercrombie & Kent (A&K) has unveiled the first five itineraries in a collection of 10 new A&K x Crystal Cruises voyages debuting in 2027. The expansion follows strong demand for the partnership’s inaugural sailing departing August 2026, which sold out within weeks of its announcement.
The collection of sailings highlights A&K Travel Group’s (AKTG) vision to offer the best of each of the two brands in one itinerary. Each voyage includes A&K’s signature enrichment programming and exclusive access all while sailing aboard Crystal’s fleet.
“The overwhelming demand for our 2026 pilot voyage demonstrated something extraordinary,” said Fernando Delgado, chief product officer at AKTG. “Guests instantly connected with the combination of A&K’s deep cultural expertise and Crystal’s unparalleled onboard atmosphere. That success gave us the momentum to expand into 2027 with even more departures, more destinations, and more opportunities for travelers to experience cultural exploration with both brands at their very best.”
Each voyage begins with a two-night stay at a luxury hotel selected by A&K, featuring programming designed to immerse travelers in the destination. With priority embarkation privileges, guests sail in Sapphire Veranda Suites aboard Crystal Serenity or Crystal Symphony, with solo travelers accommodated in Aquamarine Veranda Suites at no single supplement.
Onboard, in addition to Crystal’s full range of amenities and entertainment, A&K guests participate in a program of exclusive events, special dinners, and expert-led lectures during the voyage.

- A Voyage Around Italy (May 9-20, 2027) – This 12-day itinerary begins with two nights in Venice at the San Clemente Palace before guests board Crystal Symphony for an exploration around Italy, Croatia, and Malta.
