Multiple Journey Styles

Abercrombie & Kent's Four Main Travel Styles

LUXURY SMALL GROUP JOURNEYS

A&K describes this as “the finest group travel experience in the world” — and it truly is their flagship product.

These journeys are designed for travelers who want the ease of group travel without sacrificing luxury, exclusivity, or personalization. Key features you can highlight:

• Exceptionally small groups — often capped at around 12–18 guests, allowing for intimate access and smoother logistics.
• Signature insider experiences, such as private archaeological insights at Machu Picchu or exclusive cultural encounters.
• Resident Tour Directors® lead every departure, providing unmatched expertise and 24/7 support throughout the journey.
• Luxury accommodations selected for character, comfort, and location.
• VIP-style touring, including priority access, private openings, and curated experiences not available to the general public.

This style is ideal for clients who want a high-touch, worry-free, luxury group experience with deep cultural immersion.

CONNECTIONS BOUTIQUE GROUP JOURNEYS

Described as offering “authentic boutique-style travel” , these journeys are perfect for travelers who want a more local, intimate feel — but still with A&K’s elevated service.

• Boutique hotels that reflect the character of each destination.
• Immersive cultural experiences, such as local markets, family visits, and hands-on activities.
• Moderate group sizes, offering a balance between social interaction and personal space.
• Authenticity-focused itineraries, designed to bring travelers closer to local life, traditions, and cuisine.

This style is ideal for clients who want authenticity and cultural depth with the comfort and reliability of a luxury operator.

MARCO POLO JOURNEYS

These are A&K’s most adventurous and exotic itineraries, taking travelers to “an exotic locale or local festival” .

What makes them special:

• Rare, hard-to-reach destinations — think remote regions, emerging destinations, or culturally significant events.
• Festival-based travel, such as attending major celebrations, ceremonies, or seasonal spectacles.
• Expert-led experiences, often with specialists in history, wildlife, or culture.
• Smaller groups, allowing access to places larger tours cannot go.

This style is perfect for seasoned travelers who want unique, once-in-a-lifetime experiences beyond the typical tourist path.

TAILOR MADE JOURNEYS

A&K describes these as “custom luxury journeys created just for you” — and they are exactly that.

• Fully customized itineraries built around the traveler’s interests, pace, and preferences.
• Private guides and drivers, offering complete flexibility.
• Handpicked accommodations, from luxury lodges to boutique gems.
• Exclusive access, curated experiences, and special moments designed specifically for the client.
• Ideal for families, honeymoons, multi‑generational travel, or travelers with specific interests (wildlife, food, photography, history, etc.).

This style is perfect for clients who want a completely personalized luxury experience with A&K’s global support network behind them.
