Abercrombie & Kent unveils three new expeditions in 2026

• There’s an 11-day expedition to see the Arctic wildlife in Svalbard.
• There’s an 11-day expedition to explore the Wild Coasts of the British Isles including the remote point St Kilda.
• There’s a 16-day expedition to French Polynesia and a visit to an uninhabited atoll on Tuamoto Island.

Abercrombie & Kent has unveiled three new expeditions to sail the icy frontier of Arctic Svalbard, the wild shores of the British Isles and the far-flung islands of French Polynesia in 2026.

The new itineraries mark 35 years of A&K being at the forefront of expedition cruising. Each voyage will be accompanied by A&K’s acclaimed expedition team steeped in local knowledge of the region.

From breathtaking snorkelling, challenging hikes to the most remote point in the North Atlantic, these voyages will reach far beyond the usual cruise routes.

“These are transformative adventures in places that few experience – all elevated by S&K’s signature style,” said Stefan Kredel, Vice President of Expedition Cruising.

Highlights of the three new voyages:

Exploring the Wild Coasts of the British Isles, an 11-day cruise aboard chartered ship, Le Champlain which departs Portsmouth on May 26 2026. Guests will be able to experience the history of Guernsey, wander through the gardens of the Isles of Scilly, birdwatch for puffins off the coast of Wales, hike the Scottish Hebrides and sample whisky in the Orkney archipelago. Prices starts from $30,310 per person.

An Arctic Wildlife Expedition in Svalbard, an 11-day cruise aboard Le Lyrial to the remote Svalbard, sculpted by glaciers and surrounded by pristine waters where whales and walruses thrive. Here wildlife such as walruses, reindeer, foxes and birds are in abundance while guests make the most of the midnight sun and enjoy the seasonal flowers in full bloom at this time of the year. The expedition departs on 3 July 2026. Prices start at $25,385pp.

Cruising French Polynesia, Tahiti and Beyond, a 16-day cruise aboard Le Jacques-Cartier where guests will be taken to an uninhabited atoll on the Tuamoto Island. Trek to secluded waterfalls and set out in search of tiki and other relics in the remote Marquesas. They will also visit a pearl farm and swim with blacktip reef sharks, stingrays and enjoy the pristine beaches in the idyllic paradise. Prices start from $32,525pp.
