A&K, a venerable high-end travel company, markets a wide range of cruise experiences from Antarctic soft adventure voyages to river cruising in Europe and the Pacific and along the Nile and Yangtze. A&K prides itself on attention to detail, the highest level of comfort depending on the region and top local guides.
Fleet
A&K charters top expedition and destination ships forall its programs.
Itineraries
For a sampling of A&K’s cruises, Antarctica, oftenincluding the Falkland Islands and South Georgia, have been a staple for manyyears, and while once they owned a ship, now they share a charter for theExplorer II, the former 360-passenger Minerva of Swan Hellenic. The ClipperOdyssey’s Pacific Rim itineraries are now part of the portfolio. In the winter2008-2009, the ship will become the Minerva II again. On French rivers andcanals, they have exclusive charters for several top-flight barges, and in Egypt for two low-capacity riverboats. A&K clients do not share the Nile boats with anyother group, a big plus that allows a seamless enrichment program.

A&K works hard to make the dining experience special,and the surroundings will vary considerably from ship to ship as they arechartered.

Enrichment lecturers who travel with the ships and theguides ashore are the best available.
