Luxury is Personalization
This luxury adventure is highly customizable, with the ability for guests to select from a selection of Design Your Day® activities designed for a wide range of interests. In Morocco, guests can visit Volubilis, the best-preserved ruins in northern Africa, enjoy a private shopping excursion, unwind at a Hammam, or learn the art of Moroccan cooking. Zanzibar offers guests a choice of exploring the wildlife of Jozani Forest National Park, visiting a local village and seaweed farm, snorkeling off Mnemba Island, kayaking or relaxing with a spa treatment. While in Malta, guests can visit Medieval Mdina to view its gates (recognizable to Game of Thrones fans), explore historic Villa Bologna, learn the art of falconry or visit two temple excavations that predate the Pyramids of Giza and Stonehenge.
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 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.
Every aspect of the journey has been curated to offer a truly all-inclusive experience, including all meals, with beer and wine, full bar service on board and at special events, complimentary laundry service throughout, internet access (where available) and all gratuities. Prior to departure, guests can save time with A&K’s White Glove passport and visa handling concierge service.
