Coronavirus: A&K offers flexible booking terms

Abercrombie & Kent has said it is allowing "more flexible booking terms” for many new and existing clients who may be "cautious” about planning a holiday.

A statement from the operator said: "Despite extensive news coverage around travel disruptions, the vast majority of our clients are continuing to travel as planned.”

As numbers of coronavirus cases continue to grow, it said it is working closely with airlines, hotels and suppliers, to allow greater flexibility for clients "during these unique circumstances”.

For new tailor-made and luxury expedition cruising bookings made between now and the end of March 2020, clients may postpone or transfer their bookings to the same or a new destination up until 60 days prior to departure, to an alternate date that departs before December 31, 2021. No cancellation fees will be charged.

Similarly, for existing bookings, guests can postpone and rebook to the same or new destination for travel up to December 31, 2021.

For A&K Villas bookings across Europe, it will work with individual villa owners on a case-by-case basis.

As the escorted touring programme offers set departures, standard booking conditions apply.

Kerry Golds, managing director of A&K UK, said: "These challenging and unique circumstances are even more reason to book with a trusted, reliable operator like A&K.

"We're here to help our clients every step of the way and can assure them that our team across the world are here to give you peace of mind.”
