Experience the A&K Difference on Uniquely Chartered Voyages
Exclusively chartering every Luxury Expedition Cruise we lead lets us combine the best of everything — the best ships, staff, itinerary and more — for the ultimate adventures at sea. We start by choosing an ideal expedition small ship for every destination. Next, we elevate the onboard experience by limiting our guest capacity to a more intimate number, approximately 80 percent of what each ship can accommodate and never more than 199 guests. We also guarantee a private balcony with every stateroom and suite, and bring aboard our own award-winning Expedition Team. It all translates to an unparalleled small-ship cruising experience, boasting A&K luxury and an exceptional personnel-to-guest ratio of 1 to 1.3.
Stunning Ships for Every Destination
The luxury mega-yachts we charter are always selected by our experts from among the most innovative and trusted expedition cruisers at sea today. Defined by strength, style and purpose-built luxury, these innovative mega-yachts are among the most advanced and well-equipped to carry our guests safely and conscientiously to every destination we explore.
