Abercrombie & Kent adds nine new small-group tours for 2027

Abercrombie & Kent has added nine new itineraries to its 2027 Small Group Journey portfolio to cater to growing demand for rail tours as well as trips in Alaska, Africa and Europe.

Suzanne Teng, global group product director at Abercrombie & Kent, said: “For 2027, to meet the continued demand for Europe, we are looking beyond the expected with itineraries in less-explored regions such as Eastern Europe, while reimagining how guests experience perennial favourites like Italy through deeper access and more thoughtful pacing.

“We are also seeing rising demand for experiential luxury, from the renewed appeal of rail journeys to a growing desire for immersive nature experiences in stunning settings like Alaska or southern Africa.”

Each Small Group Journey tour is led by A&K resident tour directors and expert local guides, with an average of 14 guests.

The new Alaska Wilderness, Denali and the Last Frontier tour is a nine-day holiday from £9,610, which includes landing by helicopter on top of a glacier.

The 12-day Singapore to Bali: Malaysia by Luxury Rail costs £20,000 and features the chance to explore Singapore before travelling on the Eastern & Oriental Express train, then flying to Bali for the final leg of the holiday.

Ultimate South Africa Adventure is an 11-day itinerary with experiences focused on food and wine, nature, marine life and wildlife.

The 11-day Family Adventure in Southern Africa costs £15,385 and is designed for families, with kid-friendly activities not available on other group journeys, including viewing the Shark Exhibit at Two Oceans Aquarium and a veterinarian-led rhino conservation experience in Marakele National Park.

In Europe new tours include Italian Treasures: Venice to Amalfi; The Alps to the Adriatic; Poland: Witness to History; and Cultural Landscapes of Albania and North Macedonia.

Armenia and Georgia: Cultures of the Caucasus, from £6,920, explores two former Soviet republics.
