Abercrombie & Kent has unveiled its line-up of 2025 expedition cruises, including a new itinerary in the Galápagos.
Next year, amid soaring demand for expedition cruising, the company will offer 24 cruises that visit 33 countries on seven continents.
One new offering for next year is the “Ultimate Galápagos” itinerary, held aboard the yacht Theory from Ecoventura, which is now part of A&K Travel Group. That trip will be offered from April through November.
“Revealing the world's most remote destinations has always been the driving force behind our expedition cruises," says Stefanie Schmudde, senior vice president of global product strategy. "Which is why I’m thrilled to announce the latest addition to our portfolio—an extraordinary new voyage to the Galápagos Islands aboard Ecoventura’s luxurious adventure yacht, Theory, an A&K exclusive.”
A&K will also offer a new “Cruising Iceland, the Faroes, Scotland & Ireland” itinerary that departs from Reykjavik and includes stops at the Westman Islands, the Faroe Islands, the Shetland Islands and Isle of Skye.
“We are enhancing our cultural small-ship offerings … which allows travelers to discover the history, cuisine and enduring traditions that breathe life into these remote destinations beyond their natural splendor, alongside our unrivaled Expedition Team," says Laurence Gosset-Lukaszczyk, the company’s director of luxury expedition cruising.
Beyond the new offerings, A&K’s 2025 season includes trips to Antarctica, the Arctic, Japan, Italy, the Greek Isles, the Seychelles, Tanzania and Indonesia.
