The Ultimate Collaboration
Together, Crystal and Abercrombie & Kent elevate exploration, curating authentic experiences that surpass expectations.
What happens when two icons of luxury travel unite? Journeys that surpass expectations. The new partnership between Crystal and Abercrombie & Kent combines Crystal’s legacy of refined cruising with A&K’s expertise in customized land adventures. By Abercrombie & Kent is a curated collection of immersive journeys designed to elevate every voyage beyond the shoreline. Whether it’s a private evening overlooking Monaco’s Casino Square, cycling through Copenhagen’s design-rich districts, or venturing into the wilds of the Galápagos, four new experiences promise authenticity and a deep sense of discovery.
COPENHAGEN
Bikes, Bites & Nordic Brilliance
Explore one of the world’s most bike-friendly cities from a private rickshaw—an experience that fuses design, gastronomy, and sustainability. The Bike and Bites in Wonderful Copenhagen tour begins along the Kalvebod Bølge waterfront, where architecture and innovation converge. Cycle through eclectic neighborhoods, maritime quarters, and artist-led districts while a “bike chef” prepares a progressive, five-course tasting menu from a mobile kitchen. Meals reflect the clean, seasonal flavors of Nordic cuisine, presented at scenic stops along the way. More than a culinary escape, this unique journey also celebrates art, sustainability, and the joy of slowing down.
MONACO
The Thrill of the Grand Prix
There are few spectacles as glamorous—or as heart-pounding—as race weekend in Monte Carlo. This unique experience begins by disembarking the ship by tender at Monaco Port of Fontvieille, leading to your privileged access to the Monaco Grand Prix. Beyond the exclusive Grandstand K seating, guests can opt for private terraces overlooking Casino Square or the legendary Salle Empire ballroom at Hôtel de Paris, complete with champagne, gourmet dining, and appearances by former F1 legends. Expect VIP hospitality terraces and a front-row perch to the sport’s most prestigious event.
WHISTLER & THE GALÁPAGOS
Adventure Beyond the Shore
Crystal’s partnership with A&K also extends to new frontiers. Pre- and post-cruise land programs from Vancouver invite guests to explore Whistler’s alpine wilderness—where luxury lodges, guided mountain hikes, and art-filled villages create a distinctly Pacific Northwest experience. And when Crystal Symphony sails toward South America, a joint program with Ecoventura unlocks the Galápagos Islands in authentic expedition style. Explore volcanic landscapes, snorkel with sea turtles, and spend time with naturalists aboard small luxury yachts built for hard-to-reach landscapes. Each program mirrors A&K’s hallmark of deep immersion, where every moment creates meaning and memories.

My philosophy? Life is too short for ordinary vacations and too precious to save the good stuff for “someday.” Go somewhere that moves you. Wear the good shoes. Order dessert. Take the picture. I’ll he ...
