A World Less Traveled: An Expedition by Private Jet

Jan 25 – Feb 11, 2027 18 Days · 52 Guests · Airbus A321
Request This Expedition Back to Full Schedule

This 18-day expedition trades the familiar for the seldom-seen: the rock-cut tombs of AlUla, the blue-washed lanes of Chefchaouen, Dakar's contemporary art scene, Salvador during Carnival, and the mirror-like Uyuni Salt Flats, closing with Medellín's transformed cityscape. A run of shorter, more intentionally chosen stays balances the trip's five-star anchors in London and Washington, D.C.

Several stops along the way are what we'd call Explorer destinations, chosen for remoteness, culture, or natural beauty rather than five-star polish, a deliberate trade worth knowing about going in.

Highlights

What Makes This Expedition

  • Eighteen days across eight destinations on four continents, connected by one private aircraft
  • A vintage Land Rover expedition to Hegra, Saudi Arabia's first UNESCO World Heritage site, plus a hot-air balloon flight over AlUla
  • A private viewing point for Salvador's Carnival, one of the world's largest celebrations
  • A private dining experience staged inside an art installation on the Uyuni Salt Flats
  • A minimum group size kept intentionally small, with daily activities split into groups of 6 to 12
