About This Journey
Designed for travelers who value the romance of the journey as much as the destination, this 100-day odyssey takes you across continents on first-class trains and ocean liners. You’ll dine in Michelin-starred restaurants, stay in storied hotels, and experience cultures with insider access — from a front-row seat at a Mozart concert in Vienna to private tours of Istanbul’s palaces and New York’s Met.
With the expertise of an experienced tour leader (except during cruise segments), every detail is orchestrated for ease, insight, and enchantment. This is circumnavigation for a new era: refined, flight-free, and utterly unforgettable.
