Customize Your Adventure
Guests can personalize their experience with a range of Design Your Day activities, including outdoor excursions, cultural encounters, and wellness experiences. In Seychelles, guests may discover local markets and sightseeing around the island, foodies can choose between a Creole cooking lesson or a mixology class at a rum distillery, birdwatchers can search for rare species only found on these islands and active guests may opt for thrilling water activities. In Panama, they can explore the Panama Canal, walk the historic Casco Antiguo neighborhood, spot wildlife on a guided kayak excursion or visit an Indigenous village to join in ancestral games and traditions.

Immersive Lodging & Culinary Delights
A&K has carefully selected accommodations immersed in wildlife settings, from the Pacific Ocean shores of Palau Pacific Resort to the serene surroundings of Etosha King Nehale. These locations offer both comfort and authentic wildlife encounters. Meals are a sensory delight, complemented by local entertainment and stunning backdrops, allowing guests to savor destination-specific cuisines at their leisure.

Dream Team Onboard
Leading the journey is an experienced Tour Director, who oversees the itinerary from start to finish. On the ground, the group divides into smaller parties, each led by a Tour Manager and assisted by resident guides, wildlife trackers, and local experts. An onboard physician travels with the group to assist with any medical issues, while a dedicated Luggage Manager oversees the handling of guests’ luggage between every destination as part of A&K’s Travelling Bell Boy® service. Finally, a professional photographer is always on hand to offer tips for capturing the perfect shot and record the journey as it happens.

Experience Luxury in the Skies
A&K's chartered Boeing 757 offers the utmost in comfort and style with 48 first-class, fully lie-flat seats and a range of amenities, including iPads, noise-canceling headphones, and an espresso maker. Throughout each journey, a dedicated cabin crew (complete with executive chef) provides peerless personalized service, remembering each guest’s preferences and ensuring their favorite drink is ready without having to ask. Touch down in exotic destinations not easily accessible via the major carriers, reliably coming and going on a timetable based on A&K’s itinerary — not an airline’s convenience.
