Abercrombie and Kent Cruises 2025

Abercrombie and Kent (A&K) continues to expand into the luxury cruise space with plans to launch new river cruises in the Amazon and along the Nile in Egypt. The Pure Amazon, scheduled for launch in mid-2025, has just 10 elegant suites on board and showcases locally-made furnishings throughout the ship.

Later in 2025 A&K will launch down the Nile with a bespoke vessel that is more like a high-end floating hotel than a riverboat. Like the Pure Amazon, this small boat features 32 cabins with floor-to-ceiling windows so guests can admire the passing views while travelling. Like all A&K tours, these journeys will showcase local culture, food and artisans, giving guests an immersive experience.
