Deciding where to go in 2027? Abercrombie & Kent’s latest destination outlook puts Easter Island, Jaipur, Bolivia’s salt flats and eight other places on the planning map. The luxury travel company’s selection brings together cultural anniversaries, wilderness experiences and anticipated openings, giving each destination a particular reason to visit.
The 2027 outlook is a set of recommendations from the operator’s experts. Its strongest use for travelers is as a starting point: identify the experience that appeals, then look at the season, itinerary and accommodation that would make it work.
Cultural Reasons to Visit Easter Island, Jaipur and China
Easter Island, Chile draws attention through the film Wild Horse Nine and A&K’s associated Tailormade journey. Rapa Nui’s moai and living island culture give visitors reasons to explore beyond the filming locations. A screen-inspired trip can be an introduction to the destination, with local guides adding the context behind the scenery.
Jaipur, India celebrates 300 years since its founding in 1727. Palaces, bazaars and craft traditions make Rajasthan’s Pink City a natural choice for a cultural itinerary. Travelers building a wider northern India route should consider how much time they want in the city alongside the other stops.
China returns to A&K’s focus, with Hong Kong marking 30 years since the 1997 handover. The company’s outlook also points beyond Beijing and Shanghai toward regions such as Yunnan and Tibet. That breadth makes choosing a route important: a first visit to major landmarks and a journey into mountain regions will have different demands.
Wine Regions in Georgia and Australia
Georgia combines Tbilisi, the Caucasus Mountains and Kakheti’s wine culture, with neighboring Armenia adding another cultural dimension to A&K’s regional journeys. It is a pick for travelers whose interests cross food, history and landscapes, rather than revolve around a single city stay.
Hunter Valley, Australia brings a wine-focused escape within reach of Sydney. A&K highlights the region’s semillon and shiraz and anticipates new luxury accommodation in 2027. For a longer Australian holiday, the practical question is how a vineyard stay fits alongside the rest of the route and the time needed between destinations.
Safari Landscapes and an Alaskan Wilderness Road
Tanzania features Tarangire’s elephant and baobab landscapes alongside the rebuilt Ngorongoro Crater Camp. The appeal is a safari combining different settings. When comparing trips, look at the number of nights in each area and the balance between wildlife drives, transfers and time at camp.
Denali Highway, Alaska reaches its 70th anniversary in 2027, having opened in 1957. A&K places the wilderness route within its Alaska itineraries. Travelers should read the complete daily route to understand how the highway, Denali National Park visits and other stops fit together.
New Ways to Explore the Nile and Atlantic Canada
The Nile, Egypt gets a new accommodation option with Nile Seray, A&K Sanctuary’s 32-suite riverboat, scheduled to begin sailing in November 2026. Its Luxor–Aswan journeys pair time on the river with Egyptologist-led excursions. For 2027 travelers, the choice of boat, sailing length and included archaeological visits will shape the experience as much as the destination itself.
Atlantic Canada offers a coastal focus shaped by Indigenous and Acadian heritage, maritime communities and seafood. A&K’s selection includes the region’s landscapes and Fogo Island. It suits travelers interested in connecting places through local culture and food, with time to explore between the headline stops.
Remote Stays in Bolivia and Argentine Patagonia
Uyuni Salt Flats, Bolivia stand out for the planned Samkani Camp. A&K Sanctuary lists a 2027 launch, with five architect-designed suites and a separate dining and lounge Airstream on the salar. The camp is an upcoming option; anyone building a trip around it should confirm opening arrangements and the dates available to book.
El Calafate, Argentina is the gateway to Los Glaciares National Park. A&K connects its Patagonia pick with new lodge and glamping developments, adding accommodation choices to glacier and wilderness itineraries. The amount of time spent exploring versus moving between bases deserves attention when choosing a trip.
Turn the List Into a Trip That Fits
We previously covered A&K’s private jet lineup. This outlook gives a broader range of starting points for a holiday. Choose the destination around the experience you want most, then compare group size, pace, included activities and the full cost of getting there.
We recently covered Jules Verne’s 2027–2028 collection, which also adds cultural journeys and new routes. Reading the daily itinerary alongside a destination shortlist helps turn inspiration into a realistic plan, with enough time for the places that made you want to travel in the first place.
