Abercrombie&Kent Cruises profile
« Back
Abercrombie and Kent offer specialized expedition-type cruises to the more remote areas of the world such as the Amazon, Antarctica, Alaska, Galapagos Islands and Tahiti. These adventure cruises based on a policy of sustainable visitation offer the unique opportunity to get close to the landscape and wildlife in some unusual places. Experienced lecturers and guides are provided on all cruise ships. A&K's hearty expedition vessel, the Explorer 2, is a familiar face each winter in Antarctica. Carrying some 198 passengers, the Explorer features top-flight lecturers, zodiac landings and all the creature comforts, such as all-outside double cabins, good dining and a comfortable dining room. The Explorer 2 also cruises the Amazon River and Chilean Fjords. This small maneuverable cruise ship has an ice-hardened hull and is well equipped for expedition cruising. A&K is committed to finding cruise ships that offer "simply the best" small-ship cruising in the world - ships that are uniquely right for the season, destination and style of the selected itinerary. Onboard these cruise ships, style is always allied to substance. Each in its own original way, these beautiful vessels offer an on-board experience that's second to none - and in addition they'll take their guests to places few other cruise passengers ever see. It's possible because A&K's cruise groups are so small and personal, and our knowledge of these destinations so complete. A&K cruises offer the world's most intrepid, intimate, exciting cruise ships, and they know where to send them to ensure that their guests sail beyond the big, brash, "must-see" sights into more rewarding, authentic harbors that can be enjoyed on a leisurely human scale.
