Description: Join us for an extraordinary journey around the world by private jet. Climb the terraced steps of the ancient Inca citadel, Machu Picchu. Feel the protective gaze of Easter Island's moai statues. Welcome the sun among Angkor Wat's astoundingly beautiful temples and watch it set amid Africa's greatest concentration of wildlife in Tanzania. Take in awe-inspiring views of the Himalaya from Lhasa's Potala Palace. Stand enthralled before the majesty of the Taj Mahal. Come face-to-face with the mysterious Sphinx in the company of the ancient Pyramids. Savor the exotic scents of spices and foods in the souks of Fez.

Enjoy the security, comfort and convenience of traveling by our specially-configured Boeing 757 private jet, which whisks us in style from one destination to the next.
