Crystal and Abercrombie & Kent Revolutionize Luxury Travel with Exclusive Partnership Offering Land and Ocean Adventures
Crystal has introduced a new initiative called “By Abercrombie & Kent,” a groundbreaking partnership with its sister brand, Abercrombie & Kent, which aims to transform the luxury cruising experience. This program is set to extend Crystal’s renowned voyages beyond the ship, offering a unique blend of ocean and land-based adventures, combined with cultural expertise and luxury service.
The partnership between Crystal and Abercrombie & Kent reimagines the luxury cruise journey by combining Crystal’s exceptional onboard hospitality with Abercrombie & Kent’s deep knowledge of global destinations. With the program, Crystal is pushing the boundaries of traditional cruising, offering guests a curated collection of land-based excursions that bring travelers closer to the culture, history, and nature of iconic destinations around the world.
The curated collection focuses on regions in Africa, Asia, the South Pacific, and the Mediterranean, where travelers can immerse themselves in local cultures, visit historical landmarks, and explore stunning natural landscapes. Crystal has designed these immersive experiences to allow guests to explore some of the world’s most renowned sites, while also learning about the history, traditions, and people that make these destinations unique.
One of the most significant aspects of the new partnership is its focus on creating personalized, meaningful travel experiences. Crystal aims to offer guests an opportunity to experience luxury cruising in a way that goes beyond the ship, with the promise of access to exclusive, authentic experiences both on land and at sea.
Crystal’s Overland Adventures, one of the two main components of the “By Abercrombie & Kent” program, allows guests to embark on multi-day excursions where they disembark mid-voyage and rejoin the ship at later ports of call. This innovative feature is designed to bring guests closer to iconic cultural landmarks. Travelers can visit destinations such as the Great Wall of China, the Taj Mahal, and Uluru, experiencing these world-famous sites in a more immersive and personalized way.
These Overland Adventures are led by expert guides who provide in-depth knowledge and context about the destinations. For example, in Beijing, guests can explore cultural landmarks such as Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, and the Temple of Heaven, before venturing out to one of the most scenic sections of the Great Wall. This combination of adventure and culture ensures guests are not only visiting major landmarks but are also gaining a deeper understanding of the cultural and historical significance behind them.
In addition to the Overland Adventures, the program also offers Pre- & Post-Cruise Extensions, giving travelers the chance to extend their voyages with enriching experiences on land. These excursions range from peaceful beach retreats to vibrant city stays, adding depth and richness to the overall travel experience. Crystal offers curated tours to destinations like Tuscany and Rome, where passengers can indulge in the pleasures of the Italian lifestyle—exploring charming villages, tasting local wines, and enjoying fine dining.
This program is not only about offering guests unforgettable experiences but also about ensuring each journey is seamlessly integrated into the overall cruise experience. Whether it’s an immersive cultural exploration or a relaxing getaway in a scenic destination, the program is designed to enhance the luxury cruise by offering diverse experiences on land.
“By Abercrombie & Kent” also draws on the extensive global network of Abercrombie & Kent, which has over 3,000 staff across 65 offices in 40 countries. The program leverages the company’s expertise in crafting extraordinary journeys, and travelers can benefit from Abercrombie & Kent’s exclusive Sanctuary portfolio in Africa. The result is a carefully designed travel experience that combines exceptional luxury service with unparalleled access to unique destinations.
By offering a blend of both ocean and land-based adventures, “By Abercrombie & Kent” redefines the luxury cruising experience. With its focus on cultural immersion, expert-led tours, and exclusive access to remarkable destinations, this partnership marks a major evolution in the world of luxury travel. Crystal’s collaboration with Abercrombie & Kent is sure to set a new standard for how travelers experience the world.
