Classic Antarctica with Special Guest Geoffrey Kent: 50th anniversary for Abercrombie & Kent
Abercrombie & Kent, the world’s leading travel company, is celebrating its 50th anniversary. Founder, Chairman, and CEO Geoffrey Kent is marking this milestone by traveling back to the white continent after 20 years, on Abercrombie & Kent’s Classic Antarctica cruise and therefore visiting all seven continents during the Anniversary year. He will join A&K guests on board of eco-friendly ‘Le Boreal’ November 27 – December 10, 2012 to commemorate a special time for Abercrombie & Kent.
Kent is eager to create new memories with A&K passengers on ‘Le Boreal‘ and will be hosting a cocktail reception for guests to celebrate, where he will share stories about exploring some of the world’s most remote and challenging destinations over the past 50 years. Born in Kenya, he joined his parents in founding Abercrombie & Kent as a luxury safari outfitter with the philosophy of “shoot with a camera not with a gun.” With the innate skill of a consummate businessman and the relentless curiosity of a born explorer, Kent created a company that enables travelers to literally discover the world around them – and to do it in a uniquely stylish manner. To this day, he continues to travel the world in search of the kinds of adventures that will surprise and thrill his guests.
