Setting the Standard for Over Three Decades
Discover the Differences That Set Our Cruises a World Apart
Unmatched Expertise at Sea
After more than 30 years of setting the unrivalled standard for luxury expedition cruising, A&K knows exactly what it takes to make your voyage the adventure of a lifetime. From our longstanding experts who design your voyages to our acclaimed Expedition Team featuring the best guides in each field — everyone from the most accomplished scientists to local cultural experts raised in the communities we visit — we believe unrivalled expertise is everything. Once you experience an A&K Luxury Expedition Cruise, you will, too.
Exclusively Chartered to Bring You the Best
Every Luxury Expedition Cruise we lead is exclusively chartered by design so that we may bring you the very best of everything. We choose ideal luxury expedition small ships, and then limit the number of guests to 80 percent of capacity — from 148 to 199 guests depending on the vessel, and never more. This allows us to offer a private balcony in every stateroom and suite, one of the best personnel-to-guest ratios at 1 to 1.3, and an optimised experience orchestrated entirely by A&K.
True Exploration on Every Continent
Spanning all seven continents, our brilliantly planned itineraries feature visits to both iconic and off-the-beatenpath gems. Whether embarking across an Arctic wilderness to the North Pole, snorkelling in the marine wonderlands of the Seychelles or shedding new light on the ancient ruins of Athens, a cruise with A&K reveals spectacular destinations in ways you won’t be able to anticipate.
The Definition of Luxurious, All-Inclusive Cruising
Our Luxury Expedition Cruises are always all-inclusive, which means we take care of everything. Look forward to an engaging program of expert lectures, special events and curated shore excursions. Enjoy an elegant culinary program, included gratuities, and complimentary Wi-Fi and laundry. Depending on your expedition, you may also explore fascinating cities, with stays in luxury hotels and signature guided A&K excursions.

Stunning Ships for Every Occasion
Sail on intimate small ships, designed for adventure and elevated to our exacting standards.
We Select the Ideal Ship for Every Destination
Our experts zero in on the most advanced small expedition ships, each with a private-yacht-like ambiance, selecting only those ideally suited for the regions we explore. This includes sleek ‘Le Bougainville’ in the Mediterranean and commanding ‘Le Lyrial’ for ice-cloaked Antarctica. Defined by strength and style, these purpose-built ships feature everything you’d expect on a luxury A&K cruise, including a convenient marina, ample deck space, a panoramic fitness room, elegant spa and cutting-edge technology.
A Private Balcony with Every Stateroom and Suite
Limiting guest capacity on our voyages enables us to offer premium accommodations for every guest — either a stateroom or suite that is always outfitted with a private balcony, a feature available exclusively on A&K charters. Smart design and elegant comforts define these accommodations, which feature a choice of a king-size bed, two single beds or two-room suites that can sleep up to four — perfect for a family. Limiting guest capacity to 80 percent of the ships’ maximum capacity also affords even more attentive service, as well as ample space and room to comfortably spread out and enjoy the onboard restaurants, lounges, theatre and outside decks.
Prioritizing the Latest Health and Safety Guidelines
On board, the staff and crew undertake strict health and safety protocols that reflect best practices for cleanliness and disinfection. These include guidelines established by the World Health Organization (WHO), Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) and other organisations promoting higher standards. In addition to rigorous cleaning on board — as well as stringent management of air circulation — lounge areas and dining rooms have been reconfigured to increase physical distancing.
En Suite Butlers and Five-Star Shipboard Service
Guests who reserve any category of suite also enjoy another A&K exclusive: complimentary butler service throughout their cruise. Regardless of your accommodations, your experienced, English-speaking staff is well versed in tending to every need with grace and style.
Luxury cruising with A&K includes every meal and unlimited house drinks aboard your ship. With gourmet culinary fare at your fingertips, savour a fresh and innovative menu on board that includes: fresh entrées at the Grill; lavishly coursed meals at the Restaurant; Captain’s Dinner; 24-hour room service and breakfast in bed; and an open bar, including all house wines, beer, spirits, sodas, tea and coffee.
