A Guide to Luxury Travel

Best Luxury Travel Destinations

Planning to treat yourself somewhere special? If money is no object, there are a couple of places that come to mind if you’re dreaming of a vacation in the lap of luxury.

Italy (Best Luxury European Destination)
In general, you can’t go wrong with a holiday in Europe, with classy cities like London and Paris. But with its irresistible mix of art, history, fashion, gastronomy, and brilliant natural landscapes, Italy is a standout. The stylish country is a favorite of luxury travelers, whether they’re headed to the fashion houses of Milan, the artistic wonders of Florence, or the breathtaking Amalfi Coast.

French Polynesia (Best for Luxury Beach Getaways)
Home to 118 islands and countless spell-binding beaches, French Polynesia is an ocean lover’s paradise. The breathtaking islands of Bora Bora and Tahiti are the most famous destinations, although their remote location in the South Pacific make it a pricey place to visit any time of the year. For luxury travelers, the secluded nature of these white-sand islands makes them an even more appealing choice. Serene, quiet, and dazzlingly beautiful, French Polynesia is an unparalleled tropical idyll.

Africa (Best for Luxury Safari Tours) – Tanzania
A one-of-a-kind and often life-changing experience, safaris are extremely popular among luxury travelers. The best safaris are in Africa, with Tanzania, Zambia, and South Africa all favorites of explorers who don’t mind spending a lot for a more extravagant vacation. A deluxe African safari is expensive, but easily worth the cost, as explorers enjoy awe-inspiring encounters with lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants, and buffalos.

Antarctica (Best Luxury Adventure Destination)
Is there anything more indulgent to adventurers than a journey to the end of the earth? Tick off a bucket list item with an expedition to Antarctica, an uninhabited frozen landscape that makes for an otherworldly vacation setting. There’s wonder at every turn in this continent, from penguin encounters to majestic icebergs.

Best Luxury River Cruises in Europe

Our hand-selected menu of cruises is all-inclusive, with shore excursions, meals, and drinks, and guides all wrapped into what you pay. We have done our best to curate unique cruise experiences for travelers of all interests - from history buffs to active explorers…and everyone else!

Tips for Traveling in Style

Fly or cruise in first-class (or business class). Get the full luxury experience, starting from the first day of your vacation. First-class and business class flights and tours guarantee a comfortable trip, with roomy seats, delicious meals, and extra-attentive service.
Book a private ride. Public transportation can be a pain in many countries, so make sure you have a private vehicle to enjoy sightseeing at your leisure. Even better, hire a chauffeur.
Splurge on an exclusive guide. Nothing takes you out of the luxury experience more than squeezing into a tour bus or jostling for a place with dozens of other travelers. A private guide can be expensive, but you’ll gain access to insider knowledge and more underrated spots.
Research Michelin-star restaurants in the area. Make the most of the destination by getting a taste of the finest cuisine the locale has to offer. Europe boasts a wide variety of top-notch dining establishments, especially countries like France, Italy, and Spain. Wine is also a highlight in these regions.

How to Enjoy a Luxury Holiday on a Budget

Find brand new luxury hotels and resorts. Newly opened or recently renovated accommodations will typically offer fantastic deals and discounts, even for their most opulent suites.
Dine in high-end restaurants during lunch. Lunch dishes tend to be a lot less expensive than the dinner menu. It’s also worth asking locals for dining recommendations; they’ll definitely know about the city’s best-kept secrets that probably won’t cost an arm and a leg.
Travel during the off-season. Summer and Christmas holidays are generally the high season for travel in most places in the world. Travelers can cut back on expenses by skipping these months and opting for low season tours and cruises.
Join a luxury cruise instead of doing everything DIY and solo. Traveling on a small-ship cruise is an opportunity to keep costs relatively affordable, while enjoying an intimate experience away from the city crowds. And with travel experts taking care of accommodations, meals, and tours, all you have to do is sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride.
