Crystal guests can now enhance their journey with immersive pre- and post-cruise extensions or multi-day Overland Adventures, seamlessly integrated into their cruise itineraries. The collection of land-based experiences spans continents, from Africa to Asia, the South Pacific to the Mediterranean.

Travellers can disembark mid-cruise to explore iconic destinations like the Great Wall of China, the Taj Mahal, or Australia’s Uluru, rejoining the ship at a later port. These adventures include expert-guided tours, luxury accommodations and insider access to cultural landmarks.

Pre- and post-cruise options span global highlights – from the ancient temples of Angkor Wat to safari adventures in Kenya’s Masai Mara, and exclusive Italian experiences in Tuscany and Rome, including truffle hunting and private winery dinners.

All journeys are managed by A&K’s global network, and are offered in small groups or as bespoke private tours, with logistics like charter flights and lodging handled entirely by A&K teams.
