Responding to increasing demand for vacations that combine cruise and land, Kensington Tours has expanded its Voyages by Kensington Tours offerings with several new itineraries. Simultaneously, the tour company has hired new Cruise Experts specifically dedicated to planning Voyages trips.
To create these new land/cruise Voyages, Kensington has partnered with Atlas Ocean Voyages, Celebrity Cruises, Explora Journeys, Seabourn, and Silversea Cruises.
“Cruising has not only made its revival, but it has truly surged in popularity as the industry has introduced so many new options for every kind of traveler,” said Joelle Davis, vice president of cruise for Kensington Tours. “The expansion of Voyages by Kensington is in direct response to the requests we have had from so many clients to extend their vacation in port cities or nearby regions to have more immersive land excursions than they might have with a brief port stop.”
New itineraries include:
London and Dublin Highlights & Sailing the Emerald Isles on Atlas Ocean Voyages – From London to Dublin in May 2024, this trip extends the eight–day cruise by five days with pre– and post– sailing opportunities to spend time in London prior to embarkation and in Dublin on the other side.
Dutch Delights & Sailing the British Isles with Celebrity Cruises – This May 2024 sailing aboard Celebrity Silhouette begins and ends in the Netherlands with stops in Liverpool, Cork, Belfast as well as Glasgow. There are also options for experiences in Amsterdam with an extra four days before or after the journey.
London and Hamburg Discovery & Sailing the Kiel Canal with Seabourn – Combining 11 days at sea aboard the Seabourn Ovation and port stops in Dover, Antwerp, Sweden, Norway and Denmark with six days on land in London and Germany.
London Exclusive & Cruising the British Isles with Silversea Cruises – A 10-day roundtrip cruise from Southampton with stops in Wales, Dublin, Newcastle, Plymouth and Kirkham is bookmarked with opportunities to explore the port town before heading to London.
Best of Lisbon & London, Cruising from Western to Norther Europe with Explora Journeys – This 14-day trip in August 2024 begins in Lisbon traveling to Porto, Bordeaux and Normandy with excursions on both sides of the journey with an extra four days on land featuring several customizable options in either London or Ireland and Scotland.
