Crystal Partners with Abercrombie & Kent for Overland and Pre/Post Cruise Journeys

Crystal Cruises announced today the launch of By Abercrombie & Kent experiences: an exclusive partnership with A&K to offer Crystal guests curated land adventures and A&K’s acclaimed cultural expertise aboard Crystal vessels.

Now available for booking on Crystal Serenity and Crystal Symphony sailings through 2026, the collection offers a range of overland adventures and pre- and post-cruise extensions spanning Africa, Asia, the South Pacific, and the Mediterranean. Each itinerary is designed to immerse guests in culture, nature, and history, with experiences crafted and operated by A&K’s local experts.

The By Abercrombie & Kent overland adventures are multi-day guided journeys that travelers can embark on mid-cruise. Guests disembark mid-journey and rejoin at subsequent ports, visiting iconic sites like the Great Wall of China, Taj Mahal, and Uluru.

“We’re redefining what a luxury cruise experience can be,” said Cristina Levis, CEO of A&K Travel Group. “By Abercrombie & Kent isn’t just any excursion program – it’s a complete reimagining of how our guests discover the world, combining Crystal’s exceptional onboard hospitality with A&K’s unparalleled destination expertise.”

Each By Abercrombie & Kent experience leverages A&K’s international network of more than 3,000 staff, in over 65 offices and 40 countries. The new partnership draws from the exclusive A&K Sanctuary portfolio in Africa, which includes a collection of luxury camps and lodges.
