Ultimate luxury, exclusive access and unforgettable experiences in some of the world’s most remote and spectacular destinations await on a round-the-world vacation. A once-in-a-lifetime trip means choosing the best for all aspects of your vacation, from private transportation to expert guides, world-class dining and modern amenities. Whether you opt for a luxury cruise, a private jet tour or create your own bespoke journey, you can be certain that your family vacation will take you and your loved ones on a trip they’ll remember forever.
Around The World Cruises for Families
A cruise is one of the best options for a family-friendly, around-the-world travel. The slow pace of cruises paired with the range of onboard activities and entertainment, not to mention a variety of dining options and plenty of enjoyable shore excursions mean there’s something to fit everyone’s needs. Luxury cruise operators that offer an around-the-world travel itinerary also have staterooms large enough for families looking to travel with grandparents, parents and children of all ages.
Crystal Cruises World Cruise offers the perfect example, docking in Polynesia, Bali, Egypt, Greece and more on their annual World Cruise. At the same time, the line provides kids clubs and activity programmes such as scavenger hunts, karaoke and pool parties for children up to 17 years, plus dedicated menus and a babysitting service. While children are occupied, adults will enjoy unparalleled hospitality, whether on board at the Michelin-star restaurants, relaxing at the full-service spa or on a shore excursion, where you’ll watch Broadway performances, attend exclusive galas and have private access to famous landmarks.
Another family-friendly operator, Regent Seven Seas Cruises, plans arguably one of the best round-the-world itineraries on the market. While you cruise the world from Miami and back over 150 days, you’ll samba in Brazil, spot whales and dolphins off the coast of Argentina, swim in the aquamarine waters of Tahiti and taste the flavours of Asia in Thailand, China and Japan. Providing arguably a far more educational experience than a classroom, ounger guests can take part in craft lessons, movie nights and parties, perfect for socialising with other kids. Similar programmes are available on other selected luxury cruise lines, such as MSC and Royal Caribbean. Booking with the right luxury travel operator is essential, as many don’t allow children under 6 months and some do not have child-friendly activities onboard.
Round-The-World Private Jet Tours for Families
For a truly luxurious travel experience, choosing a round-the-world private jet tour elevates luxury travel to the next level. While many luxury tour companies offer this service, with the best being Four Seasons, Abercrombie & Kent, National Geographic and Aman, ensuring they are family-friendly is essential. Many tours visit far-flung or less visited, remote destinations that may not be suitable for younger travelers. Specialist itineraries do exist however, such as Four Seasons’ Private Jet experiences. Their trips to Asia, Polynesia and the Middle East are all suitable for ages 16+, while their incredible upcoming African Wonders adventure will be loved by children as young as seven. Adults, children and grandparents will share unforgettable experiences such as rare wildlife encounters, visiting ancient wonders and snorkelling off desert islands.
The benefits of traveling on a luxurious private jet tour are both obvious and limitless. Although these highly regarded operators may not appear to cater for families, private jet tours are based on the idea that everything is provided based on your needs, whether this means awe-inspiring activities for kids, helpful accessibility adjustments for older family members or expert nannies to look after your children. Not only will you travel on the finest private aircraft, enjoying relaxation and exquisite onboard service on all legs of the journey, but every need will be taken care of. From behind-the-scenes access, to local experts, impeccable dining and experiences offered nowhere else, a round-the-world journey by private jet means being immersed in the trip to the fullest, without lifting a finger.
Custom Private Round-The-World Travel
Cruises follow a set itinerary and while still getting you to undiscovered locations, private jet tours also follow certain guidelines. If what you’re searching for seems like it can’t be found, you might want to consider a custom, private round-the-world trip. Bespoke travel like this means choosing any and all of the locations you wish to visit, anywhere in the world. Not only can you charter a private jet, but you can also travel by private helicopter, luxury car, yacht or train, depending on your requirements. Everything will be tailored to you and you family, from the length of the trip, to fitness levels and age requirements. Luxury Round the World specializes in doing exactly this, with the added benefit of having our in-depth expertise to ensure your unique vacation comes to life. The benefit of custom tours is also that we offer access and connections with people and places normally unavailable to the public – whether this means an impossible-to-secure restaurant reservation or fast-tracked immigration.
Luxury Round the World can turn any itinerary, experience or destination into one suitable for families. If your interests lie in history and culture, why not arrange a private tour of the Louvre and a luxury Nile cruise? For those into active holidays, private helicopter flights to mountain-top ski resorts or kayaking expeditions the cyan waters of Greenland may be more your style. Creating the trip of a lifetime means providing your family with experiences to fit them, such as fun, active experiences for younger children or more adventurous excursions for teenagers. With bespoke round-the-world travel, the sky is the limit and the word impossible simply does not exist, ensuring you will embark on a journey unlike any other on earth.
