A&K offering free 9-night Crystal cruise with private jet journey

Abercrombie & Kent (A&K) has announced an unparalleled offer that combines two extraordinary journeys into one remarkable experience.

Travellers who book A&K’s Ancient Kingdoms & Dynasties: A Journey by Private Jet will receive a complimentary 9-night Crystal cruise. This exclusive pairing seamlessly blends the thrill of exploring the world’s most captivating destinations by private jet with the refined elegance of Crystal’s ocean voyages.

“As sister companies under A&K Travel Group (AKTG), this unprecedented collaboration between A&K and Crystal offers travellers a unique opportunity to experience the pinnacle of both air and sea adventures in one extraordinary experience,” explains Ann Epting, senior vice-president, Private Jet & Special Interest Travel.

About the adventure

The adventure begins in Barcelona, where guests embark on a 9-night Crystal cruise aboard Crystal Symphony (Sep 25 – Oct 04, 2025), exploring Spain and its islands, Morocco and Portugal from the comfort of a Sapphire Veranda Suite.

In Lisbon, no more than 48 guests then board the A&K Private Jet for a 25-day global expedition to nine countries across three continents to explore the timeless monuments and great civilizations that shaped our world today. Travel back in time while exploring Tanzania’s Stone Town, the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque in Oman, India’s spectacular temples, the Angkor complex in Cambodia, and more, ending in Malta with a traditional musical parade given in honor of A&K’s Private Jet guests.

Additionally, A&K has announced the addition of two new special guests who illuminate the experience and bring the destinations to life. The host on this journey is A&K Brand Ambassador Fernando Barroso de Oliveira.

From polar expeditions and hosted land journeys to countless Crystal cruises, his formidable expertise and unique zest for life set the stage for an unforgettable adventure. Born and raised in Portugal, he will welcome guests to his home country and share his own special brand of joie de vivre and passion for travel throughout the journey. In addition, foreign correspondent and editor Martin Regg Cohn will be conducting lectures and sharing his insights with guests. With extensive experience reporting from over 40 countries and interviewing luminaries ranging from the Dalai Lama to Benjamin Netanyahu, his wealth of experience in Asia and the Middle East makes him the ideal companion on the Ancient Kingdoms & Dynasties Journey.

“I’m intrigued by the core themes that focus on ancient kingdoms. It reminds me of what I found so appealing as a foreign correspondent – travelling to get a closer look at our cultural roots, while also seeing the historical roots of today’s conflicts. In short, connecting the dots on the map,” explains Regg Cohn.

Luxury in the skies

A&K’s chartered Boeing 757 offers the utmost in comfort and style with 48 first-class, fully lie-flat seats and a range of amenities, including iPads, noise-cancelling headphones, and an espresso maker.

Throughout each journey, a dedicated cabin crew (complete with executive chef) provides peerless personalized service, remembering each guest’s preferences and ensuring their favourite drink is ready without having to ask. Touch down in exotic destinations not easily accessible via the major carriers, reliably coming and going on a timetable based on A&K’s itinerary — not an airline’s convenience.

Every aspect of the Private Jet journey has been curated to offer a truly all-inclusive experience, including all meals, with beer and wine, full bar service on board and at special events, complimentary laundry service throughout, internet access (where available) and all gratuities. Prior to departure, guests can save time with A&K’s White Glove passport and visa handling concierge service.
