LuxuryAdventuresTASTE THE SUPERNAL FLAVOURS OF LEMON-GRASS CHICKEN TOSSED WITH CHILLIES AND A DASHOF Kaffir lime on the open deck of an ancient junk in the South China Sea. Join us onour luxury adventures and soon you’ll be practising tai chi at sunrise in the local park andforcing friends and family to endure endless hours of slide shows.Our LUXURY ADVENTURES are about the perfect combination of calibrated luxury with calculated risk,and thus are more about the amount of freedom than the amount of gold leaf, about tasting winefrom the barrel rather than a crystal goblet, about sleeping under the stars rather than betweenFrette sheets. In our definition, luxury is more about the richness of the experience than the cost of theaccommodation. These trips seek to move beyond merely seeing the sights or getting away from it all inpursuit of serendipitous moments of personal discovery and meaning. We make it easy by taking careof all of the details and distractions, arranging the necessary props, assembling the local cast of players,and otherwise setting the mise-en-scene for the theatre of travel so that you can focus on immersingyourself in the moment. After all, while it may be worth risking some stiff muscles, a parched throatand some unforeseen adventure on a day’s excursion into the wilderness, it’s not worth risking inediblefood, undrinkable wine and stultifying conversation on your only vacation of the year.H ORIZON &C O.
