Abercrombie & Kent is not a hotel brand, and that is the point of its private jet journeys. Four Seasons and Aman build their routes around their own hotels. A&K builds its routes around places, then chooses the hotel or camp it rates most highly in each one, including palaces, private islands and camps of its own. In January 2026 it added a second format to its Boeing 757 journeys: smaller chartered trips for 12 to 16 guests.
The Short Answer
A&K's 2027 programme has four journeys of 22 to 26 days on a chartered Boeing 757 with 50 fully lie-flat seats, priced from US$169,500 to US$198,500 per person. Alongside them are five new trips by smaller chartered aircraft for 12 to 16 guests, lasting 11 to 13 days, which had no published prices when they were announced. A&K is a Virtuoso partner, so the journeys can be booked through an advisor.
The aircraft and the team
The 757 carries 50 guests, and every seat is first class, reclining into a fully flat bed. On board are an executive chef, a tour director, a physician, a photographer and a logistics team that handles everything from visas to luggage transfers. On the ground the group divides into smaller parties led by tour managers, with a choice of activities. A&K does not name the airline that operates the aircraft.
The 2027 journeys
Prices are per person. A&K's own pages do not say whether they are based on two people sharing.

Epic Islands and Landscapes, 1 to 26 May 2027

A&K's 2026 private jet collection was almost sold out by October 2025.
The new small-jet trips
The five additions announced in January 2026 use a smaller chartered aircraft and stay in boutique hotels that larger groups rarely get into. A&K names Fogo Island Inn and Gorilla Forest Lodge as examples.
South America Wildlife by Private Jet
Thirteen days from Colombia to Brazil for 12 guests, with departures from June to September.
China by Private Jet
Twelve days for 13 guests, including the Silk Road, the Terracotta Warriors and the Great Wall, with departures in April, May, September and October.
Wild Canada by Private Jet
Thirteen days for 12 guests, from Vancouver to the fishing villages of the North Atlantic, with four departures in July and August.
Mexico by Private Jet
Twelve days for 12 guests through Mexico City, Baja California and the Yucatán's Puuc region, with departures from January to March.
Kenya and Uganda Safari by Private Air
Eleven days for 16 guests, staying at A&K's Sanctuary Lodges in Amboseli and the Maasai Mara, with two departures in August.
How A&K compares
| Journey | Days | From, US$ | Per day, US$ |
|---|---|---|---|
| Epic Islands and Landscapes | 26 | 189,500 | 7,300 |
| Wild Wonders | 26 | 189,500 | 7,300 |
| Hidden Horizons | 26 | 198,500 | 7,600 |
| Africa: Across a Continent | 22 | 169,500 | 7,700 |
| Four Seasons International Intrigue 2027 | 21 | 230,000 | 11,000 |
On these numbers A&K costs about a third less per day than the Four Seasons jet, for a group of much the same size. Two caveats before reading too much into that. A&K does not state whether its prices are per person sharing, and it publishes few hotel names in advance, so you are comparing a known set of Four Seasons rooms with A&K's choice of hotel in each place.
Choose A&K when the route matters more than the name on the hotel.
Booking it
A&K's US company is a Virtuoso luxury tour partner, so the journeys can be booked through an advisor. Before you commit, ask for two things in writing: the hotel or camp at each stop, and whether the price is per person sharing. We can do that for you, and arrange any nights before or after the journey.
Our position
A&K's 2027 journeys reach places neither the Four Seasons nor the Aman jet visits in 2027 or 2028: Benin, São Tomé, Almaty and the Pantanal among them. Hidden Horizons, hosted by Geoffrey Kent himself, is the most unusual of the four. If you would rather know exactly where you will sleep every night, the Four Seasons or Aman jets are the safer choice.
