Kensington Cruises is eying robust expansion amid unprecedented success.

One of the industry leaders in luxury cruise experiences announced that sales are up 100 percent year over year.

Kensington Cruises has also doubled its team size and agreed to multiple partnerships, including teaming up with Windstar Cruises and Riverside Luxury Cruises.

Expanded itinerary offerings include new sailings in Australia and the South Pacific such as 11-day voyages through Tahiti and Bora Bora and immersive 20-day adventures in Australia and New Zealand.

Kensington Cruises has also expanded its Shore Excursions to 250 ports worldwide and enhanced the experience with the help of a private guide/driver who meets the clients at the port before embarking on a diverse range of activities like historical explorations, cultural immersion, active adventures and culinary journeys.

"The extraordinary growth of Kensington Cruises is a testament to our commitment to redefining what luxury cruising can be," Joelle Davis, Vice President of Kensington Cruises, said in a statement.

"Our travelers want more than just a cruise—they want a journey that immerses them in the destination, both on and off the ship. By expanding our partnerships, shore excursions, and land experiences, we’re giving our clients more opportunities to explore the world in a way that’s uniquely personal to them."

Marc Moore, Vice President, Agency Sales, credited travel advisors for propelling the brand.

"The success and rapid growth of Kensington Cruises are a testament to the strength of our partnership with the travel advisor community," said Moore. "Their expertise, dedication, and deep client relationships have been instrumental in expanding our reach and delivering the highly personalized, seamless experiences that define Kensington. We remain committed to empowering advisors with the tools, support, and exclusive offerings they need to curate extraordinary journeys for their clients."

For all new bookings made through December 30, 2025, advisors can earn Visa gift cards paid at the time of booking with rewards ranging from $50 for bookings between $7,500–$9,999 to $250 for bookings from $50,000–$99,999.
