Abercrombie & Kent UK is featured in The Sunday Times this weekend in a thought leadership piece by Claire Irvin, Head of Travel, exploring the rise of JOMO — the joy of missing out. Our Chief Marketing Officer, Peter Chipchase, opens and closes the piece with a reflection on how our guests are redefining luxury: “It’s no longer about doing more, but doing less with greater intention... The real luxury now lies in having the freedom to pause, to linger, and to really connect with a destination. It’s JOMO at its most refined.” As travellers increasingly seek meaning, space, and mindful moments on their journeys, A&K remains committed to creating experiences that offer just that.

"On first sighting the Zein Nile Chateau, it almost glowed. The sleek, 50-metre dahabiya sailboat – now renovated to become a floating, five-star retreat – is all polished wooden walkways and softly swaying, amber-hued lanterns. These traditional, shallow-bottomed barges have been carrying passengers along the famous waterway for thousands of years, but it’s doubtful they’ve ever done so in quite such style" – Citizen Femme. Journalist Ally Wybrew shares her experience of cruising the Nile aboard Zein Nile Chateau, an A&K Sanctuary. Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/eMkJ6PUH
