Crystal has unveiled the Experience Finder, an innovative new tool designed to help travel advisors quickly and easily explore the exceptional range of shore excursions available to guests sailing aboard Crystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity.

Abercrombie & Kent Travel Group (AKTG) has promoted Debra Fox to the new position of Managing Director for AKTG, UK and APAC, effective April 2025. This strategic move aligns with AKTG’s ongoing global expansion and commitment to providing exceptional travel experiences in key markets.

With all the advancements in technology and transportation, there are very few places left in the world today that would be considered unreachable. There is, however, a destination that a limited number of travellers have had the privilege to explore, which is about as close to unreachable as one can get these days. A destination considered to be one of the world’s last frontiers. That destination is the North Pole. 

The expectation of luxury and prestige and what it means has experienced an evolution, as consumers now desire hard-to-access and more immersive experiences where they can really feel, see, taste and touch a destination. As expense no longer exudes status, according to a report by the Global Wellness Institute, ‘Having the best used to mean seven-star service. Now, status-hungry consumers seek off-the-grid experiences that convey prestigebecause they are unique and in contrast to traditional luxury.’

One month into the job, Abercrombie & Kent’s new Managing Director for Australia, Debra Fox, is scouting for new talent as the luxury travel company readies to upsize its local workforce.
