Abercrombie & Kent Travel Group has announced the launch of its new Peruvian riverboat. Set to embark on its maiden voyage in April 2025, the boat is the company’s first riverboat in South America, offering guests an extraordinary journey onboard an elegantly designed vessel into the region’s most secluded wonders. The name of this special vessel will be announced shortly.
With almost 25 years of experience in Peru, A&K brings unparalleled expertise and a deep understanding of the Amazon’s unique biodiversity and cultural heritage. The company’s long-standing tradition of excellence in river cruising, honed through decades of navigating Egypt’s legendary Nile River, combined with the maritime legacy of owner Manfredi Lefebvre d’Ovidio’s family, ensures that this new riverboat will offer guests an exceptional and unrivaled journey through the Amazon’s captivating landscapes and rich cultural tapestry.
This new venture is the result of a collaboration between A&K and its expedition yacht brand in the Galapagos, Ecoventura. Drawing on Ecoventura’s extensive experience and success in building and operating luxury expedition vessels in the sensitive environment of the Galapagos Islands, they are uniquely positioned to develop a riverboat that showcases the same level of expertise, sustainability, and attention to detail in the heart of the Amazon.
“The launch of this new riverboat marks a momentous chapter for Abercrombie & Kent,” says Cristina Levis, CEO of Abercrombie & Kent Travel Group. “This venture embodies our unwavering commitment to delivering experiences that are not only luxurious but also deeply enriching and sustainable. We are excited to introduce our guests to the untold stories and serene beauty of the Peruvian Amazon in a manner that honors and preserves the essence of this remarkable destination.”
