Travel by private jet, supercar and expedition ship on these once-in-a-lifetime tours

Captain’s Choice has mastered the art of luxury travel to redefine how you explore the world. Here are four itineraries for those who prefer the finer things in life

There are many ways to see the world; from jetting through its skies, driving on its roads, or even crossing its seas. Through every country and every transit, each vehicle you board and every walking track you take brings with it its own unique experiences, taking you through cities, valleys, and plains where the most incredible sights can open up simply by turning a corner or rounding a bend.

For over 30 years, Captain’s Choice has been mastering the art of luxury escapes, curating bespoke journeys that harness land, sea, and air to reach the remote, the uncommon and the unforgettable. From their iconic private jet journeys, to intrepid expedition cruises and lush, self-guided driving tours, Captain’s Choice offers experiences for every type of travel. We’ve rounded up our four favourite itineraries that make use of different modes of travelling, so that luxury isn’t just in the destination, but in every step of the journey. 

Go sky-high with Private Jet tours

As the flagship offering of Captain’s Choice, private jet travel defines their brand, giving guests access to some of the most secluded and beautiful parts of the earth, all from within the unrivalled comfort and convenience of a private aircraft. Forgoing the formalities of commercial air travel, the Captain’s Choice experience begins from the moment you step aboard the aircraft, with a seamless and meticulously planned escape.

Their private jet tours head to different parts of the world, from the Pacific and the Silk Roads, to South America and the African plains. In the latter, guests start their journey in the mystic lands of Cairo, before flying directly to see the assembled herbivore herds of the Maasai Mara and then venturing further south, to the immense Victoria Falls. With everything from ancient history to “the big five” planned for in the agenda, this is a private jet journey that ticks off one bucket-list item, after the next.

Take on the road with a self-drive land exploration

If you’re feeling a little James Bond inclined, you may find yourself drawn to a self-drive tour where you soak in the sights from inside your own supercar. Conquer some of the world’s most iconic roads from within a convoy of luxury vehicles, following a professional racetrack driver as they wind up and down the verdant hills of the Mediterranean.

Our pick is a self-drive tour of Italy, where a four-stage journey of 1,000kms will take guests through Milan, Lake Como, Lake Garda, Tuscany, Rome, the Amalfi Coast, and Naples. Each day, guests in the small group tour will rotate between cars including Ferraris, Lamborghinis, and Aston Martins, experiencing the best of Italy with Michelin-level dining, spectacular scenery, and palatial residences.

Find reflection and solace in walking

For those seeking a different brand of luxury, walking tours enable travel that is deeply authentic and immersive. Facilitating earnest reflection, the Captain’s Choice walking itineraries merge adventure and connection, providing a window into the communities, culture and cuisine of the region in question.

Their journey through the fabled Camino de Santiago is an evocative tour from San Sebastian through to Santiago de Compostela. Spanning 200km, the tour covers the Camino’s most striking sections with two seasoned local guides offering invaluable, firsthand insights. Fine wines and gastronomic delights feature throughout the trip, while a private courtesy vehicle accompanies the walkers to provide refreshments and support for tired legs.

Traverse land and sea in a luxury expedition

For the more adventurous travellers, Captain’s Choice offers expeditions that venture deep into remote locales. From a virtual circumnavigation of the UK to a voyage to Papua New Guinea and Indonesia, these tours are full of discovery, where expert guides lead field trips and daily excursions to connect guests to nature.

Their Scotland and British Isles itinerary offers guests access to some of the world’s most picturesque scenes. From a journey through the Scottish Highlands on an exclusive charter of the iconic Royal Scotsman train, to a cruise around the remote British Isles aboard the small expedition ship Silver Endeavour, every day of this trip brings history, natural beauty, or even striking wildlife encounters. Luxury vessels provide a sumptuous home base for guests, while expeditions immerse them in the natural environment and bespoke experiences intertwine them into the history of the UK.

For those searching for the unique and the unexpected, Captain’s Choice offers luxury travel experiences unlike any other. From soaring private jet flights, to reflective walking tours, their itineraries harness every mode of travel to take guests to the heart of the world’s most incredible sights, experiences, and locations.
