Choose your next luxury
adventure from our inspiring
2021–22 Small Group Journeys.
Dear Traveller,
This letter comes from me in the hope that you have all remained healthy and well
during these unprecedented times. With tight restrictions in place around the
world, there has been time for a certain degree of introspection and appreciation
for what went before. I have personally enjoyed reflecting on the many
extraordinary travel experiences I’ve been fortunate to be part of. And to dream
about those that still await.
Whilst the world of travel has changed immeasurably in the short term, I am
certain our patience will be rewarded with exciting new possibilities and different
ways of experiencing destinations near and far, whether regular haunts or new
favourites. A&K has also taken this time to reassess and evaluate. New policies
have been implemented to safeguard you, our valued traveller, as well as our more
than 2,500 staff members around the world. Our global network is strong. Our
operations have already resumed in a number of countries, and others wait poised
to welcome you when the time is right.
This latest collection of small group journeys is a reflection of A&K’s global
footprint and local expertise in every destination showcased here. There are the
eternal luxury travel favourites — sub-Saharan Africa, timeless Egypt, the capitals
of Europe, India’s temples, forts and palaces and the mysterious ruins of pre-
Columbian Latin America. And there are newer journeys to more challenging,
emerging destinations — including Saudi Arabia and Cuba. All the journeys here
feature intimate sized groups with a range of choices to fit your preferred style of
group travel, and the additional freedom of customising a journey just for you.
So, no matter which continent you find yourself on with A&K, be assured of our
unwavering commitment to your safety and wellbeing, and for delivering life-
affirming luxury travel experiences. I hope that, like me, you are still dreaming of all
the wonderful adventures that await and that your wanderlust is reignited as you
delve into this inspiring new world of travels.
Enjoy exploring!
