A&K and Crystal Cruises Reveal Exclusive 2027 Luxury Itineraries
Abercrombie & Kent (A&K) has unveiled the first five sailings in its expanded A&K x Crystal Cruises collection for 2027, building on the strong response to the program’s inaugural pilot voyage. The new departures form part of a broader portfolio of 10 curated journeys planned for that year, blending A&K’s destination expertise with Crystal’s ultra-luxury cruising experience.
“The overwhelming demand for our 2026 pilot voyage demonstrated something extraordinary,” said Fernando Delgado, chief product officer of A&K Travel Group. “Guests immediately connected with the combination of A&K’s deep cultural knowledge and Crystal’s refined onboard atmosphere. That success gave us the momentum to expand into 2027 with more departures, more destinations, and more immersive ways to explore the world.”
Each itinerary is designed as a seamless land-and-sea journey. Voyages begin with pre-cruise stays at luxury hotels, paired with VIP embarkation, exclusive shore experiences, and accommodations in Sapphire Veranda Suites aboard Crystal’s flagship vessels, Crystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity. Single travelers are also accommodated with no single supplement when booking Aquamarine Veranda Suites, reinforcing the program’s inclusive luxury positioning.
Among the newly announced sailings is A Voyage Around Italy (May 9–20), which opens with a two-night stay at San Clemente Palace in Venice before calling at Malta and a selection of Italian and Croatian ports. The Insider’s Mediterranean itinerary (May 25–June 3) begins in Valletta with a stay at Corinthia Palace, followed by port calls in Sardinia, mainland Italy, Tunisia, and Spain.
The Europe’s Culinary Atlantic Coast journey (June 26–July 9) starts with two nights at Lisbon’s Tivoli Avenida Liberdade, then continues through ports in Portugal, Spain, France, and Guernsey, offering a strong focus on regional gastronomy and culture. In North America, Autumn in New York and Canada (September 8–21) opens with a stay at The Chatwal in New York City before sailing to New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Quebec.
Rounding out the initial release is French Riviera to Lisbon (October 6–18), beginning with a stay at Hotel Metropole Monte-Carlo in Monaco and featuring calls across France, Italy, Corsica, the Balearic Islands, Spain, and Portugal’s Algarve coast. Together, the itineraries underscore A&K and Crystal’s strategy to deliver deeply immersive, high-end travel experiences at sea and ashore.
