Abercrombie & Kent (A&K) is expanding its reach into the Nordic region with the acquisition of destination management partner Borealis DMC.

The Copenhagen-based company boasts expertise in one-of-a-kind offerings in Denmark, the Faroe Islands, Finland, Greenland, Norway and Sweden.

The acquisition expands the company’s portfolio of destination management companies (DMCs) “with an international network of more than 3,000 staff, in over 65 offices and 40 countries,” said A&K.

“The Nordic region provides access to experiences that epitomize adventure and luxury in their purest forms,” said Rebecca Osman, chief destination officer at A&K Travel Group.

“This acquisition aligns perfectly with our commitment to unlocking impossible possibilities for both our discerning travelers and our trade partners,” she added. “The Nordic region has become a guest favorite amongst luxury travelers seeking authentic wilderness experiences.”

Borealis DMC’s “deep-rooted connections with indigenous communities and unmatched access to remote locations complement A&K’s philosophy of revealing destinations through local expertise and cultural authenticity,” said A&K.

Added Borealis DMC Founder Marcella Infantino: “We've partnered with A&K for several years, and this acquisition feels like a natural evolution. A&K understands what makes the Nordic region special – our relationships with local communities and commitment to authentic wilderness experiences.”

The news comes on the heels of a new A&K partnership with sister brand Crystal Cruises.
