In 2022, Crystal Cruises launched a partnership with Abercrombie & Kent (A&K), further expanding its shore excursion offerings with even more refined and tailored experiences, thanks to A&K’s long-standing expertise in luxury travel. The key elements that characterize the shore excursions offered by Crystal Cruises in collaboration with Abercrombie & Kent are:
– Tailor-Made Experiences: Each excursion is carefully planned to provide a unique experience, with itineraries that allow guests to explore iconic destinations and hidden gems in an intimate and personal way. A&K’s expertise in crafting exclusive routes often includes private access and unforgettable moments that are difficult to replicate without their expertise.
– Exclusive and Privileged Access: Crystal Cruises guests can enjoy exclusive access to sites normally closed to the public, such as private residences, historic palaces, museums outside normal hours, or special events. These experiences, reserved for small groups, are designed for those who wish to explore destinations in greater depth and in a more personal manner.
– Expert Guides: Excursions are led by A&K’s local experts, professionals with deep knowledge of the culture, history, and traditions of the destinations, transforming a simple visit into an immersive and educational experience.

These are certainly the main features of the excursions offered by Crystal in collaboration with A&K, which stand out for various reasons. The experiences, or rather adventures, include both day trips and extended excursions, as well as pre- and post-cruise stays.
Starting with Unique Experiences by A&K, guests can access a special collection of super exclusive, limited-edition experiences (with a maximum of 18 participants) designed to surprise and provide unforgettable memories to take home. Besides day excursions, guests can also opt for Overland Adventures, allowing them to explore more distant destinations through multi-day trips during the cruise itinerary before rejoining the ship. These programs may include overnight stays in luxury accommodations, offering deeper immersion in destinations, such as a safari in Africa or a visit to historic cities like Cairo or Petra.
Moreover, as Crystal aims to offer the best in exploration, guests can also choose Pre & Post Land Journeys, allowing them to explore departure and final destinations often overlooked in traditional cruises. With the support of A&K, it is possible to personalize mini-stays before and after the cruise to extend and enrich one’s journey. The team handles everything, from finding the perfect hotel to meet guests’ needs, booking the trendiest restaurants in the city, providing the most knowledgeable local guides, and arranging transfers and luggage transport, ensuring guests are cared for at every step of the way.

Excursions vary depending on the itinerary, with destinations ranging from Europe, Asia, and the Americas to more exotic locations like Antarctica and the Arctic. Crystal covers all continents, offering unique, non-repetitive cruises, with each journey being distinct. However, what unites all of them is a high standard of comfort and safety. Each excursion is carefully planned to ensure that travelers feel at ease, with luxury transportation, dedicated assistance, and attention to detail.
