Kensington Expands North America Portfolio with New U.S. & Canada Tours

With interest in domestic travel on the rise, tour operator Kensington is meeting demand for North American vacations with new packages in the U.S. and Canada.

The luxury specialist has expanded its North America portfolio with new private guided itineraries across Eastern Canada and the Northeastern United States, spanning both its tours and cruise divisions.

The new collection features destinations such as Montreal, Toronto, Quebec City, and Newfoundland, along with key U.S. cities including Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., and the coastal towns of New England.

One of the new itineraries includes an expedition cruise on the National Geographic Explorer. This is a space the tour operator has been expanding in recently: just last month, the company launched Kensington Expeditions, a new travel style that blends luxury with exploration.

In addition to the new tours and cruises, Kensington has expanded its portfolio of customized shore excursions to more than 265 ports worldwide, adding new options across the Northeastern U.S. and Canadian coastlines. The latest offerings include stops in Portland, Rockland, and Bar Harbor (Maine); Boston; Newport; New York City; Norfolk, Virginia; and Quebec and Montreal.

“With the growth we’ve seen in North American travel, this expansion responds directly to the requests of clients and advisors,” said Joelle Davis, vice president of Kensington Cruises. “The itineraries add more depth to our regional offerings and provide travelers with new options close to home.”
