Global luxury travel firm Abercrombie & Kent (A&K) expands its roster of Small Group Journeys to Egypt through two new itineraries and new departure dates for its classic Egypt in a Week tour.
The new Small Group Journeys come just in time for the opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum, one of the most highly anticipated events to happen in Egypt in recent years.
Those taking part in these unique trips will be among the first to view the full scope of treasures of King Tutankhamun at the Grand Egyptian Museum, experience the rare privilege of touching the ancient paws of the Sphinx on an exclusive private visit, and make holiday memories that will last a lifetime.
A&K director of global group product Suzanne Teng said of this momentous new offering: “With the highly anticipated official opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum this summer, we are excited to introduce our guests to this extraordinary cultural landmark. We’ve expanded our offering of Small Group Journeys to provide guests with a variety of ways to explore Egypt, and the museum’s breathtaking collections, all while enjoying the exceptional service A&K is known for.”
A&K has a longstanding relationship with the Nile, which dates back to 1977 when founder Geoffrey Kent, inspired by an encounter with David Niven on the set of Death on the Nile, launched the company’s first Nile River cruise.
Today, its fleet of A&K Sanctuary riverboats offer exceptional experiences and the opportunity to explore Egypt’s extraordinary sights along the banks of the storied river.
This established presence means that A&K offers unparalleled access and expertise in Egypt, providing travellers with an unforgettable journey through time.
Tailormade Journeys through an ancient land
With a complete offering of six Small Group Journeys, plus unlimited options for private Tailormade Journeys, there’s never been a better time to explore the Land of the Pharaohs.
Travel aboard the signature fleet of A&K Sanctuary riverboats, complete with private docks away from the crowds, seamlessly blending sophistication with thoughtful service.
