Abercrombie & Kent releases fresh stack of Australia and NZ trips

From the untamed wilderness of Australia’s Outback to the natural wonders of scenic New Zealand, A&K’s guests can discover unique and lesser-known locations while exploring the familiar in luxury on its newly released small group journeys in 2022/23.

The trips have an average group size of 6-12 guests traversing expertly designed itineraries, packed with the kind of authentic ‘Insider Access’ opportunities and handpicked distinctive accommodation mostly unavailable to larger groups.
