Pre-cruise trip to AlUla
Additionally, Lefebvre and Kent will join a limited-availability pre-cruise trip to AlUla, Saudi Arabia’s desert oasis.

An exclusive dinner on the final night will be hosted by the two travel industry titans.
Partnership and growth
'I’m excited to be aboard Crystal Symphony and share my passion for exploration and adventure with fellow travelers on this remarkable journey,' Lefebvre said, adding that 'Geoffrey Kent is a true pioneer in the travel industry.' Since their partnership began with the acquisition and reinvention of Crystal last year, they report 'tremendous growth for both brands.'
'This voyage reflects our dedication to providing our guests with unique and enriching experiences, especially iconic land adventures, that elevate the Crystal brand,' A&K Travel Group CEO Cristina Levis said.
