TORONTO — Kensington Tours is expanding is ‘Voyages by Kensington Tours’ product line to Central Americaand Asia. 

According to Joelle Davis, Vice President of Cruise, the expansion is in response to increased demand, with the line quickly becoming a preferred choice for immersive trips that blend both cruising and land exploration with bespoke, private guided experiences on land, either before or after the cruise.

“We are thrilled to broaden our Voyages offerings with the introduction of vibrant, new itineraries to Central America that afford an exceptional blend of land and river or ocean travel for a comprehensive exploration of these regions as well as new ways to explore Asia where demand is surging,” stated Davis. “These trips reflect the interest and demand from clients who want to merge the ease of cruising with the depth of private-guided land tours.”

The new Central America itineraries include the following:

• A voyage through the Panama Canal to Peru, offering exclusive insights into Lima’s vibrant culture, the beauty of the Sacred Valley and the awe-inspiring landscapes of Machu Picchu, all through private guided tours.
• A journey aboard a premium yacht cruise liner through the Panama Canal to Costa Rica, designed to provide an extended pre-cruise opportunity to immerse in local culinary traditions and the region’s rich biodiversity. Guests can experience wildlife encounters while following the sloth trail and with a visit to the Wildlife Rescue Center.
