A&K x Crystal Cruises Unveil Ten New Voyages for 2027 Following Sold-Out Inaugural Sailing

Abercrombie & Kent (A&K), the world's leading luxury travel company, has announced the full collection of 10 new A&K x Crystal Cruises voyages debuting in 2027. The expansion follows strong demand for the partnership's inaugural sailing departing in August 2026, which sold out within weeks of its announcement.
The 2027 collection continues A&K Travel Group’s (AKTG) vision to bring together the industry’s top destination experts and the world’s leading ultra-luxury ocean offering. Each voyage includes A&K’s signature enrichment programming, exclusive access and the leadership of its acclaimed team of experts. Guests enjoy all of this while sailing aboard Crystal’s celebrated fleet known for world-class dining, spacious veranda suites and exceptional service.
“The overwhelming demand for our 2026 pilot voyage demonstrated something extraordinary,” said Fernando Delgado, Chief Product Officer at AKTG. “Guests instantly connected with the combination of A&K’s deep cultural expertise and Crystal’s unparalleled onboard atmosphere. That success gave us the momentum to expand into 2027 with even more departures, more destinations and more opportunities for travellers to experience cultural exploration with both brands at their very best.”
Each voyage begins with a two-night stay at a luxury hotel selected by A&K, featuring programming designed to immerse travellers in the destination. With priority embarkation privileges, guests sail in Sapphire Veranda Suites aboard Crystal Serenity or Crystal Symphony, with solo travellers accommodated in Aquamarine Veranda Suites at no single supplement. Onboard, guests enjoy exceptional cuisine across eight restaurants, including the only Nobu at sea, as well as personalized service from nearly one staff per guest, including dedicated butler service. In addition to Crystal’s full range of amenities and entertainment, A&K guests participate in a program of exclusive events, special dinners and expert-led lectures during the voyage.
A choice of included, carefully curated shore excursions are designed by A&K's network of local specialists, with experiences structured to support local communities and create direct cultural connections.
