Luxury tour operator Abercrombie & Kent is expanding its 2027 portfolio of Small Group Journeys, offering nine new itineraries to breathtaking destinations, including lesser-known places like Georgia, Albania and North Macedonia.
The Small Group Journeys offer expert local guides, insider access and travel experiences with just 14 guests on average. Every journey is guaranteed to run with a minimum of two guests, and every trip includes five-star hotel and lodging stays, complimentary mid-journey laundry service, luggage portage, private arrival and departure transfers and more.
“For 2027, to meet the continued demand for Europe, we are looking beyond the expected with itineraries in less-explored regions such as Eastern Europe, while reimagining how guests experience perennial favorites like Italy through deeper access and more thoughtful pacing,” says Suzanne Teng, Director of Global Group Product at Abercrombie & Kent.
“We are also seeing rising demand for experiential luxury, from the renewed appeal of rail journeys to a growing desire for immersive nature experiences in stunning settings like Alaska or Southern Africa.”
The new journeys for 2027 are listed below.
