Private Yachts
Villas of the Seas
|
|
| |
Modern day foodies will love going beyond traditional market visits, wine tastings & cooking lessons in 2014. In depth encounters, such as overnights at family farms in South Africa, days spent alongside Mallorcan shepherds in Spain, beekeeping in Slovenia & herding cattle with Patagonia's gauchos will be much sought after in the coming year. |
|
With the luxury & intimacy of a villa, fully crewed private ship charters offer groups the thrill of touring different regions without the long drives, flights & repacking. Passengers can be the captain of their own adventure, dropping anchor at their own pace. A new fleet of affordable charters means that journeys by private yacht aren't just for the rich & famous any more.

Private Access
& Face-to-Face Encounters
|
|
| |
Exotic animal encounters on an African safari are not just for photo ops anymore. Travelers are delving beyond the lens to interact & help foster the preservation of endangered species & their habitats. From volunteering at a cheetah sanctuary in Namibia & monitoring endangered wild dogs in South Africa to walking with rescued elephants in Botswana & helping to protect black rhinos in Zambia, there are a variety of ways for visitors to leave their legacy in Africa. |
|
Affluent adventurers in 2014 are standing out from the crowds by booking private VIP tours featuring afterhours access to landmarks such as Rome's Vatican, England's Windsor Castle, Siem Reap's Angkor Wat, or Beijing's Forbidden City. It's not just the destination that counts, but the people you meet along the way. Face-to-face encounters with Dostoevsky's great great grandson & high tea with a Lord of the Manor in England, have seen a spike in sales & represent the future of travel.

Commemorating D-Day
|
|
| |
Before November's devastating typhoon, the "Pearl of the Pacific" had been climbing the globetrotting hotlists with its exotic animals, idyllic beaches & new generation of luxury properties. The Philippines is not to be missed in 2014 as highlights such as Manila, Cebu, the chocolate hills of Bohol & the beaches of Bora are unaffected & the islands need visitors more than ever. |
|
June 6, 2014 marks the 70th anniversary of D-Day in France, making it the ideal time to visit this storied site. Travelers can travel back in time by visiting the haunting battle sites of Normandy. Regal commemorations, historical reenactments, parades, open air concerts, parachute drops & fireworks throughout the year will honor the brave people who fought in World War II.
