The reinstallation of Crystal Cruises under the ownership of A&K Travel Group continues to progress, and now with a local focus, with highly respected Australian cruise industry veteran, Tony Archbold, to head the local arm of the brand.

Archbold joined the travel industry over 35 years ago as an airline marketing trainee with THAI Airways and Scandinavian Airlines. He has worked in the corporate sector with Flight Centre and Rosenbluth International, a role which saw Archbold relocate to the UK for a number of years, and was the National Sales Manager with Creative Holidays.
