Intimate cruising
Abercrombie & Kent is committed to finding vessels that offer "simply the best" small-ship cruising in the world - luxury cruise ships that are uniquely right for the season, destination and style of the itinerary you choose. That commitment translates, simply, to the finest small ships sailing today. Your cabin will be elegant and well-appointed, your meals delicious, and service impeccable.
But, on board these luxury cruise ships, style is always allied to substance. Each in its own original way, these beautiful vessels offer an on-board experience that's second to none - and in addition they'll take you to places few other cruise passengers ever see. It's possible because A&K's cruise lines are so small and personal, and our knowledge of these destinations so complete. We're welcome aboard the world's most intrepid, intimate, exciting ships, and we know where to send them to ensure that our guests sail beyond the big, brash, "must-see" sights into more rewarding, authentic harbours that can be enjoyed on a leisurely human scale.
Below you'll find an evocative selection of our favourite cruising itineraries and ships- some ocean going, some cruising the most famous rivers in the world. You can view more by clicking one of the links below our 10 favourite luxury cruises, using the search tool to refine your search.
