CRAFTING YOUR EXPERIENCE
WITH EXCEPTIONAL DETAIL & WARMTH
Luxury in more than a 5-star hotel and a first class ticket, it is something intangible that nevertheless makes the difference: relationship, expertise and personalized advice.
We are discovering destinations and exploring personal passions—from art and design, history and culture, to food and wine, outdoor adventures and more. Each trip will take you to a destination that we explore in the company of local tastemakers and expert guides. These trips entail much more than just sightseeing—each day is designed to offer maximum immersion in the destination’s history and culture. Plus, every itinerary might include special events, based on your personal style and interest, such as a chef’s table dining, curator-led tours, trunk shows and other unique experiences, not available to the regular traveler. Sophisticated Journeys takes an even more focused approach on immersive and exclusive behind-the-scenes experiences. We open doors and reveal authentic perspectives on each destination.
