Abercrombie & Kent introduces three expedition voyages for 2026

Abercrombie & Kent has unveiled three new itineraries as part of its 2026-27 Expedition Cruises offering.

The collection features a total of 15 voyages that span the Arctic, Antarctica, northern Europe, the Mediterranean and the remote islands of the Pacific Ocean.

The first new itinerary, Exploring the Wild Coasts of the British Isles, will sail from May 26–June 5, 2026, on board 148-guest vessel Le Champlain. 

Departing from Portsmouth, the ship will dock at Guernsey in the Channel Islands, the Isles of Scilly, Skomer Island in Wales, the Scottish Hebrides and the Orkney archipelago. 

The operator has also introduced An Arctic Wildlife Expedition in Svalbard, which will take place from July 3-11. 

Sailing on board 199-passenger ship Le Lyrial, guests will depart from Oslo in Norway before venturing to the Svalbard archipelago, where they will discover Arctic wildlife and glaciers via Zodiac excursions. 

The third new itinerary, Cruising French Polynesia: Tahiti and Beyond, will sail from September 18-October 4, 2026, on board 148-guest ship Le Jacques Cartier. 

Passengers will visit the region’s lesser-known Tuamotu and Marquesas Islands, as well as Bora Bora. 

Vice-president of expedition cruising Stefan Kredel said: “We have drawn on our more than three decades of expedition cruising expertise to design itineraries that reach far beyond the usual cruise routes – to places like St Kilda, Britain’s most remote point in the North Atlantic, or the Marquesas [Islands] in French Polynesia, which offer varied experiences from [excursions to] local communities, breathtaking snorkelling and scenic, challenging hikes.

“These are transformative adventures in places that few experience – all elevated by A&K’s signature style.”
