A luxurious 21-night around-the-world escape

The Mojave & Route 66

After three thrilling nights in Vegas, exploring hotspots like the Strip, Fremont Street, or even taking a Grand Canyon helicopter tour, climb behind the wheel of a Mustang Convertible to journey along a four hour, scenic stretch of Route 66, famous for its desert landscapes and nostalgic Americana.

Just 30 minutes outside Vegas, there are a couple of photo stops at Seven Magic Mountains, a vibrant art installation, and the surreal, otherworldly landscapes of Jean Dry Lake Beds. Then, midway through the route, you'll reach Barstow—a great spot to refuel, stretch, and visit the Mother Road Museum, dedicated to Route 66’s legacy.

The Cali Coast

As the landscapes of the Mojave Desert give way to sparkling Pacific Ocean views, you’ll come to the end of Route 66 in Santa Monica, marked by the iconic "End of the Trail" sign on the pier.

Santa Monica offers the quintessential SoCal vibe with its wide sandy beaches, iconic pier, and vibrant bike paths. Your stay, at a contemporary boutique hotel on the edge of the Palisades bluffs, is the perfect place to enjoy a few days of downtime, and comes complete with beach butler service. The dining scene is a highlight - enjoy local comfort food at Birdie G's, a pioneering farm-to-table approach at Rustic Canyon, or rooftop cocktails with shimmering Pacific views and Tulum vibes at Elephante.

Tahiti

Week two brings you to the South Pacific, where pristine beaches, azure lagoons, and swaying palm trees create a tranquil escape. French Polynesia has five unique island groups, so we’ve included two contrasting escapes.

Start on the main island of Tahiti, where your resort has the unique Fare l’a Reserve, a protected habitat and coral nursery that supports local conservation efforts, and that you can snorkel to see over 200 aquatic species. Venture into the island’s lush interior, hiking to dramatic waterfalls like Fautaua Falls or exploring Polynesian heritage at the Museum of Tahiti. Stroll through Papeete Market, filled with tropical flowers or take 4x4 excursions, jungle treks, or the unforgettable experience of whale watching. End your day with fiery sunsets and traditional Polynesian dance shows at your hotel—a perfect retreat.

Bora Bora

Then onto Bora Bora, definitely the island for you if you are looking for a high-end experience, and you’ll be staying in a deluxe overwater villa with showstopping lagoon or horizon views, and a private terrace with overwater hammock. Wake to crystal-clear waters teeming with marine life or take a refreshing swim directly from your deck.

For ultimate relaxation, enjoy an open-air Mana massage at the hillside Hina Spa, the most recent winner of French Polynesia’s best spa resort at the World Spa Awards. Take the short boat ride to Motu Tapu, a private islet exclusive for hotel guests, and renowned as the South Pacific’s most photographed spot. 

Auckland

Your final week takes you to New Zealand’s North Island, starting in Auckland, where you waterfront hotel - set on a yacht-filled cove between Viaduct Harbour and Wynyard Quarter - exudes polished French elegance. Stroll along the vibrant Viaduct Basin, lined with upscale dining and chic bars, or board a private yacht to explore the sparkling Waitematā Harbour.

Indulge in fine dining at The Grove or Sid at The French Café, and enjoy a private tour of the impressive Māori and Pacific collections at Auckland Art Gallery. Take in city views from the Sky Tower’s observation decks or arrange a private dining experience or better yet, take the short helicopter ride to Waiheke Island’s boutique vineyards.

The Bay of Islands & Rotorua

Travel North to the Bay of Islands, with 144 unspoilt islands to explore and dolphin pods play. Take a boat trip around the bay’s turquoise waters and hidden coves, snorkel in crystal-clear seas, or hike trails with breathtaking views. Nearby islands like Urupukapuka are idyllic for a picnic spot. You’ll be staying in a Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired villa near Russell, overlooking Waihihi Bay, steps from a private beach and Flagstaff Historic Hill Reserve.

Russell charms with its waterfront, where you can stroll The Strand and enjoy seafood at iconic locales like the Duke of Marlborough - ‘refreshing rascals and reprobates since 1827’ - or The Gables Osteria.

Conclude in Rotorua, renowned for its geothermal wonders and rich Maori heritage. Marvel at erupting geysers, bubbling mud pools, and steaming hot springs at attractions like Te Puia and Wai-O-Tapu. Immerse yourself in Maori culture through traditional performances and authentic hangi feasts
