TORONTO — Kensington Tours has expanded its Voyages by Kensington Tours offerings with several exciting new itineraries.

Pairing a client’s cruise of choice with private guided land-based experiences, the new Voyages itineraries include ocean cruises with partners such as Atlas Ocean Voyages, Celebrity, Explora Journeys, Seabourn and Silversea, to European destinations like England, Scotland, Ireland, Portugal, the Netherlands and France.

In addition, Kensington has expanded its team with several new cruise experts who are specifically dedicated to planning Voyages trips. 

“Cruising has not only made its revival, but it has truly surged in popularity as the industry has introduced so many new options for every kind of traveler,” said Joelle Davis, VP of Cruise, Kensington Tours. “The expansion of Voyages by Kensington is in direct response the requests we have had from so many clients to extend their vacation in the port cities or nearby regions to have more immersive land excursions than they might have with a brief port stop.”
