Abercrombie & Kent and Crystal have unveiled 10 joint sailings for 2027 on the back of the sister brands’ inaugural voyage, which departs in August. Itineraries combine sailings
on Crystal Serenity or Crystal Symphony with a programme of “exclusive events” created by A&K, including special dinners and expert-led lectures. There will also be a range of
shore excursions designed by the operator’s network of local specialists, with experiences structured to support local communities. Each itinerary will begin with
a two-night stay at a luxury hotel selected by A&K before guests board the ship, where they will be accommodated in a Sapphire Veranda Suite. Solo travellers will travel in an
Aquamarine Veranda Suite at no single supplement. A 10-day Ancient Greece and
the Adriatic itinerary starts in Athens with two nights at King
Crystal Serenity

IT’S DIFFERENT OUT HERE: The view from Norwegian Cruise Line
We were delighted to welcome our five NCL Champions to
Miami in March for the christening of Norwegian Luna – and what a way to experience our newest ship. They had front-row seats (almost!) for the ceremony, relaxed in poolside
cabanas at Great Life Lagoon on Great Stirrup Cay – our private island in the Bahamas – and enjoyed an unforgettable dinner with Travel Weekly’s editor-in-chief Lucy Huxley in Thai restaurant Sukhothai, one of many dining options on board. It was an experience that was out of this world. Norwegian Luna is the fourth in our Prima Class – and
second in our Prima Plus Class – and will be sailing standout seven-night Caribbean itineraries from Miami. Whether your customers are families chasing sunshine and fun, solo travellers wanting to explore the Caribbean in style, or couples looking for flexibility and freedom, Norwegian Luna ticks every box. I’m also pleased to say that our Walk for Wellness is
back for a third year. Last May, more than 1,200 agents took part, focusing on health and wellbeing, while raising an impressive £10,000 for Abta LifeLine. Join us again this May – download the app, get walking, share your pictures, have a laugh and feel good. Scan the QR code below to find out more. Happy selling – there are some exceptional Europe
2026 prices available now for you to share with your customers.
