Kensington Tours is expanding its “Voyages by Kensington Tours” offering, which blends river and ocean cruises with private, guided experiences on land, either before or after the cruise. In response to increased client interest and demand, the new itineraries focus on destinations in Central America and Asia.
The new itineraries in Central America focus on the diverse landscapes and cultures of Costa Rica, Panama and Colombia. Highlights include:
- A cruise to Colombia and Panama, navigating the waters of the Magdalena River, complemented by land excursions. The trip includes a day in Panama, delving into the achievements of the Panama Canal’s construction, and experiencing Medellin’s culinary scene through a private food tour.
- A voyage through the Panama Canal to Peru, private guided tours to Lima, the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu.
- A journey aboard a yacht cruise liner through the Panama Canal to Costa Rica, designed to provide an extended pre-cruise opportunity to explore the local culinary traditions, the region’s biodiversity and wildlife encounters, from following the sloth trail to visiting the Wildlife Rescue Center.
The expansion of Voyages comes on the heels of a "remarkable year" with sales growth for the Voyages product up 100 percent from the previous year.
In addition to Central America, Voyages is expanding its offerings in Asia, each one extending the cruise journey with private, guided land tours. New itineraries include a journey from Singapore to Bangkok with Silversea; Vietnam and Thailand with Celebrity; river cruises with AmaWaterways along the Mekong with stops in Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand; and with Avalon Waterways through Thailand and Vietnam.
The expansion also includes other popular destinations such as Antarctica, where clients can pair their cruise with private, guided tours in Argentina or Patagonia, and in Europe.
The demand for pairing more exclusive experiences with cruises also inspired the launch of Kensington Tours’ private, guided shore excursions that feature historical explorations, cultural immersion, active adventures and culinary journeys in more than 165 global ports.
“Voyages by Kensington Tours” includes partnerships with ocean cruise lines including Atlas Ocean Voyages, Celebrity, Explora Journeys, Seabourn and Silversea as well as river cruise companies including Avalon Waterways, AmaWaterways, Scenic, Emerald Cruises, Sanctuary Cruises and VIVA Cruises.
