Demand for Small Group Travel is Back: Abercrombie & Kent Adds 15 New Itineraries for 2023

New Small Group Journeys to Nepal & Tibet, Germany, Southern Africa, Southeast Asia, Chile, Argentina & Brazil, France, Namibia and the Peruvian Amazon

July 13, 2022

As travel restrictions are being lifted around the world and travellers are excited to go out and explore new destinations in the company of other like-minded people, they’re finding the best way is as part of a small group. In response, Abercrombie & Kent has launched the most diverse portfolio in sixty years of small group travel, featuring new journeys from South Africa Safari in Style — one of three new itineraries in Southern Africa — to Taiwan, Singapore & Malaysia and Namibia, as well as immersive Peru: Machu Picchu & the Amazon and culturally-rich Nepal & Tibet, Germany and Chile, Argentina & Brazil.

“Between staycations and travelling in a bubble, the past two years have created a pent-up desire to get out and explore the world,” explains Stefanie Schmudde, A&K Vice President of Product Development & Operations. “Our guests have missed the joy of making new friends who share their curiosity and a desire to learn about other cultures.”

Abercrombie & Kent’s just released 272-page Small Group Journeys 2023 brochure features 70 inspiring adventures for every type of traveller, with new destinations across Africa, Europe, South America and Southeast Asia. Travel in a small group averaging only 14 like-minded guests, led by an A&K Resident Tour Director® and packed with the kind of authentic insider-access experiences that make a destination come alive. The globe-spanning collection encompasses not only A&K’s hallmark Luxury Small Group Journeys — the ultimate small-group travel experience — but also limited-edition Marco Polo journeys to more exotic locales.
