Abercrombie & Kent Luxury Travel
Abercrombie & Kent takes the concept of International destinations and luxury travel to a modern apex of unmatched style. They deliver a dizzying array of worldwide travel, tours, luxury homes, villas, adventures and accomodations -- a true suite of special travel arrangements for just about any imaginable situation -- all with the first-class service and amenities that is their signature.
History as an Adventure Travel Group
Started as Adventure Travel group in 1962, A & K now includes Concierge Villas, Destination Clubs, Towne Clubs, A & K Jets, as well the ongoing service and expertise for providing only first-class travel packages, adventures and accomodations. Of course, it wouldn't be enough to offer these alone...
Exxclusive Destinations Clubs
For only a handful of priveleged travelers, A & K Destinations offers the Marco Polo Club, an exclusive club, dedicated to the spirit of adventure and trail blazing. And today when there are so few trails left to explore, The Marco Polo Club offers the nuance and flexibility of a small, private travel club like no other travel association.
Private Retreats, Concierge Villas and Clubs
Representing an evolution in home ownership and private retreats, A & K offers the ultimate luxury lifestyle experience. Instead of hitting the same beach house on the shore, or in the hills time and again, they offer an enourmous, yet exclusive, choice of first class destinations and accomodations that -- unlike owenership -- makes your vacation a wise investment.

Imagine the privacy and comfort of your own home, but with unmatched access to premier beaches, golf courses and ski mountains worldwide, and you choose from Mexico's East and West coasts, Colorado and Utah areas, Hawaii, Baja, or Florida. That's only in North America.
There's also an entire listing of International Villa Destinations Throughout Europe, Africa, Australia and the Orient. Truly, A & K Concierge Villas provides a global luxury vacation outlet and a variety of locations that is hard to match.
Indepent Luxury Travel
A&K can even create a unique, custom-designed independent itinerary just for you, with an Abercrombie & Kent luxury African safari, a voyage to Oceania, or anywhere in Europe... their network of on-site offices ensure the greatest caliber of service no matter where you choose.
So, whether it is luxury trains of Scotland, Jets over the Italian Alps or sailing aboard the Sea Cloud in the Agean, your carriage awaits.
International Highlights
To step aboard The Royal Scotsman Luxury Train is to step into a different world. Imagine a train ride through Scotland where luxury, civility and gracious hospitality evoke gentler times; the romantic age of travel when getting there was as much fun as arriving. It a mystical journey through ancient mountains and mysterious lochs, golden glens and charming villages.
Abercrombie & Kent Jets
When the question is how to get there, A&K has your luxury Jets awaiting. Just purchase the hours you need in the type of aircraft best suited to your mission, and you are sky-bound in style. With A & K Jets, you can fly the Intercontinental range Challenger 604 (Challenger 300 pictured) high above the weather, kickback and enjoy the highest standard for comfort in its class on its spacious, widebody cabin while you travel to your luxury villa or private retreat.
Small ship cruises
A&K accommodations find vessels that offer "simply the best" small-ship cruising in the world - ships that are uniquely right for the season, destination and style of the itinerary you choose. No fifty-foot chandeliers, no floor shows, no rock walls here... So, there's a little less 'spontaneous' entertainment from your ship-mates, but then, you can't have everything.
