Experience the A&K Difference at Sea
Unrivaled Passion and Expertise
A&K’s game-changing Expedition Team are the stars of every voyage we lead. Many of these charismatic explorers have been sailing with us since 1991, representing the best in their fields and including pioneering scientists, recipients of the Polar Medal, local and native cultural experts, and professors of art history.
Exclusive Small-Ship Cruising
Every A&K cruise is exclusively chartered just for A&K guests to allow for maximum space and comfort. We select an ideal, small expedition ship for every destination, include a private balcony with every accommodation and limit guest capacity to a number well below the maximum, all to deliver an elevated luxury experience and one of the best personnel-to-guest ratios at sea.
Truly Luxurious, All-Inclusive Cruising
Our expeditions are all-inclusive every step of the way. That means gratuities, transfers, port charges, Wi-Fi and laundry service are just the tip of the iceberg. We also include every excursion, an outstanding enrichment program, complimentary expedition gear and rental equipment, and an all-inclusive culinary experience and open bar.

What Our Guests Are Saying
Out on deck, we saw the best aurora borealis we have ever seen — and we’re Canadians. It felt like we were in our own snow globe. It was spectacular.

From the nature and variety to the trip length and the weather, it was one of the best trips I’ve been on in my life.
