Our Ultimate and Luxury Collections offer customizable itineraries to many<br />
Europe<br />
exceptional destinations, such as...<br />
United Kingdom<br />
The United Kingdom, made up of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern<br />
Ireland, is an island nation in northwestern Europe. From medieval cathedrals<br />
to postmodern towers, from prehistoric stones to one-pub villages, England<br />
– birthplace of Shakespeare and The Beatles – is home to the capital,<br />
London - this city inspires a person, enlightens everyday beauty against the<br />
backdrop of historic buildings and gives you a sense of home away from home.<br />
France<br />
Paris is the dream of any art lover, historian, shopping enthusiast or food connoisseur.<br />
With distinctive postcard moments enmeshed with everyday life - Paris is truly a city<br />
that sings to the romantic spirited. Exploring Provence and the Cote d’Azur on the other<br />
hand, takes you to the most iconic and glamorous destinations and the region’s cuisine<br />
is guaranteed to be a highlight. This exquisite sprawl of pebble beaches and high-end<br />
hotels and resorts offer some of the most exclusive and authentic French experiences.<br />
Italy<br />
Embrace the chance to experience gems such as the famous shopping destination of<br />
Milan, the majestic Lake Como in the Alpine foothills, mesmerizing canals in the iconic<br />
Venice and Florence, the birthplace of the Renaissance. You can enjoy the fabled and<br />
historic Rome, the lemon-scented paradise that is the isle of Capri, the beating heart of<br />
the treasured Sardinian Costa Smeralda at Porto Cervo, the fishing village turned jet-set<br />
luxury destination of Portofino and the ultimate fine food and wine region of Tuscany.<br />
Austria<br />
Austria is a German-speaking country in Central Europe, characterized by mountain<br />
villages, baroque architecture, Imperial history and rugged Alpine terrain. Vienna,<br />
its Danube River capital, is home to the Schönbrunn and Hofburg palaces.<br />
Its artistic and intellectual legacy was shaped by residents including Mozart,<br />
Beethoven and Sigmund Freud. The country’s other notable regions include<br />
the northern Bohemian Forest, Traunsee Lake and eastern hillside vineyards.<br />
Spain<br />
Food and wine are national obsessions in Spain. Indulge in tapas in a local bar or<br />
savor a fine dining meal prepared by an award-winning chef in the refined surrounds<br />
of a Michelin-starred restaurant. Spain’s rich history can be admired by visiting<br />
Roman ruins, cathedrals and other monuments reflecting the creative spirits of local<br />
celebrities such as Salvador Dalí, Pablo Picasso and Antoni Gaudí. You can also embrace<br />
the ‘fiesta’ of the Spanish lifestyle along a crowded street or at a Flamenco show.<br />
Croatia<br />
If you dream of seeing some of the most beautiful waterfalls in the world and visiting<br />
medieval towns with ancient buildings surrounded by azure waters, then Croatia<br />
should be your next holiday destination. Discover the cities of Zagreb, Split and<br />
Dubrovnik and visit the famous Krka and Plitvice Lakes National Parks. You can also<br />
charter a yacht from Split and explore some of the many islands in the Adriatic Sea,<br />
such as Korcula, Vis, Hvar and Brac.
The Americas<br />
East Coast<br />
The East Coast does not only harbor much of the nation’s early history, it is also<br />
strikingly modern and features the country’s biggest and most bustling cities. New<br />
York City, one of the most visited cities in the world, is the financial and cultural capital<br />
of the USA. Meanwhile, Washington, DC is more than just the seat of government,<br />
but a young, vibrant town booming with new restaurants, bars, and activities for<br />
everyone. With its accessible and varied pleasures, Florida is also a favorite of many.<br />
Midwest<br />
Step into the American Midwest, with its quaint communities or fun-loving, vibrant<br />
and delightfully flashy big cities and you will unmistakably recognize a unique charm.<br />
Marvel at the cutting-edge architecture, take in the gorgeous views of Lake Michigan<br />
or experience a legendary blues scene from Chicago. Or choose to explore the big<br />
and bold Texas, as wherever you travel in this state’s seven distinct regions, you’ll find<br />
dramatic culture and a myriad of opportunities to explore Texas history and heritage.<br />
Canyon Region<br />
When we think of traveling to Arizona, the majesty of the Grand Canyon comes<br />
to mind. Nothing can really prepare you for the first sight of it, it’s so immense<br />
you can’t take your eyes off it, and it is only one of the many spectacular canyons<br />
Arizona has to offer. Las Vegas is also a great base to visit the canyons from, or just<br />
enjoy an oasis of indulgence dazzling in the desert. A Las Vegas vacation disorients<br />
and delights; when you’re here, you’re all-in, and the “real world” seems far out.<br />
West Coast<br />
The mere mention of the phrase “West Coast” conjures up thoughts of California.<br />
From Los Angeles to San Francisco and all the spaces in between, the laid-back style<br />
of the Golden State makes it appealing to a wide range of travelers. From adventurers<br />
who can explore the abundant natural wonders of nearby national parks, to those<br />
needing a quiet weekend away who can cruise up towards the quieter beaches around<br />
Carmel and Monterey, the West Coast has something for every type of traveler.<br />
The<br />
Golden Gate<br />
Bridge - Once<br />
called “the bridge that<br />
couldn’t be built,” today<br />
it is one the seven<br />
wonders of the<br />
modern world.<br />
Mexico<br />
Mexico offers breathtaking coastlines and a diverse landscape of mountains,<br />
deserts and jungles. Ancient ruins such as Teotihuacan (Aztec) and Chichen Itza<br />
(Mayan) are scattered throughout the country, as are Spanish colonial-era towns.<br />
You can climb volcanoes, watch whales, swim underground and tour tequila farms.<br />
We recommend enjoying time at the wonderful beaches of Cancun, Cozumel,<br />
Playa Del Carmen, Cabo San Lucas or Puerto Vallarta. Spend a vacation here and<br />
you’ll be sure to be engulfed by rich culture, amazing weather and authentic food.
Middle East & Asia<br />
Dubai<br />
Embark on an Arabian adventure in this sophisticated desert oasis on the Persian<br />
Gulf to discover Dubai. Explore the skyline of avant-garde high-rise buildings,<br />
embrace the authentic Bedouin heritage on a desert safari or indulge in luxury brand<br />
shopping at some of the most extravagant malls in the world. Dubai has steadily<br />
grown to become the leading tourist and business hub in the Persian Gulf region with<br />
its breathtaking beaches and luxurious hotels – truly a World’s Ultimate destination.<br />
China<br />
China, officially the People’s Republic of China, famous for the Great Wall<br />
and pandas, is a unitary sovereign state in East Asia and the world’s most<br />
populous country, with a population of around 1.404 billion. Don’t let<br />
this turn you off though, this wonderful country is full of culture, history<br />
and an impressively vast landscape. China might seem foreign to most but<br />
it’s definitely not boring. This is one country you won’t want to miss out on!<br />
Japan<br />
When you think of Japan, a few things might cross your mind. Things like anime,<br />
sumo, samurai swords, Mount Fuji and sushi. Japan has all that and so much more.<br />
It’s worth a spot on anyone’s bucket list. Dress up in a kimono and wander through<br />
the shrines, learn the history of Hiroshima, slurp (it’s not rude in Asian cultures!)<br />
down some of the best ramen in the world or visit one of the many shopping<br />
districts Japan has to offer. Whatever you are looking for, Japan is sure to provide!<br />
Singapore<br />
Singapore is one of the most popular travel destinations in the world for a lot of<br />
reasons. Combining the skyscrapers and subways of a modern, affluent city with a<br />
medley of Chinese, Malay and Indian influences with tasty food, good shopping and<br />
a vibrant night-life scene, it’s where foodies, explorers, collectors, action seekers,<br />
culture shapers, and socializers meet and new experiences are created every day.<br />
Why don’t you check it out and see for yourself? We think you’ll be impressed.<br />
Beijing is<br />
a gateway into<br />
China’s imperial<br />
past and 5,000<br />
years of history.

Europe<br />
Iceland Hike, Bike and Raft<br />
There are few places on this planet as inspiring as the volcanic and temperamental<br />
landscape of Iceland – why restrict yourself to only one or two ways to see it<br />
when you could hike, bike, and kayak all over it? How about a kayaking trip in<br />
