Events Calendar

Over the course of seventeen days, this program traces a deliberate arc across Namibia, Botswana, and Zimbabwe—linking geology, ecology, and human history through direct experience on the ground (and, at times, from the air).
It is designed not simply to “see” wildlife, but to understand the systems that sustain it and the forces—tectonic, climatic, political—that have shaped this region over millennia.

One of the rarest celestial events of our lifetime will be experienced from an exceptional vantage point at sea. This 10-night private charter of Sea Cloud II positions travelers in one of the best locations on Earth to witness the “Eclipse of the Century,” offering the longest period of totality in more than 100 years—until a similar event occurs in 2114. From carefully selected coordinates, totality will last an extraordinary 6 minutes and 6 seconds, revealing the sun’s elusive corona as day briefly turns to night. Observing from the ship’s deck provides an unobstructed view, far from land-based crowds and summer heat.

Beyond the skies, this voyage sails through millennia of human history, visiting five UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Begin with a night in Athens, the cradle of Western Civilization, before embarking in Piraeus to cruise through the Cyclades. Enjoy a stop at sacred Delos and volcanic Milos before calling on the Crete to explore the Bronze Age Minoan civilization. We then travel into the heart of the Mediterranean to get into position for the eclipse. Post-eclipse, your experience continues to the Neolithic temples and charm of Gozo, Malta, and Sicily’s ancient treasures—from Agrigento’s Valley of the Temples to Syracuse’s dramatic theaters and historic Ortygia, before disembarking in Valletta, Malta.

For first-time visitors to Greece, a pre-trip extension to Athens will be available and for those that want to extend their stay after the cruise, a two-night extension to Valletta will be offered.

On this once-in-a-lifetime expedition to the top of the world, venture deep into the Arctic Circle to experience some of the planet’s most remote and awe-inspiring landscapes, illuminated by the ethereal glow of the midnight sun. Begin in Reykjavík, Iceland, where you’ll embark the deluxe small ship World Voyager for a luxurious nine-night expedition cruise through polar regions few travelers ever reach.

Sail to bird-rich Vigur Island before crossing the Denmark Strait to Greenland, navigating vast fjord systems carved by ancient glaciers and drifting among icebergs of every imaginable shape and hue. Continue north to the islands of Norway’s legendary Svalbard archipelago, where dramatic icy coastlines, towering mountains, and expansive glaciers create a breathtaking natural stage for extraordinary wildlife encounters. With expert guides and expedition staff, keep watch for polar bears, walrus colonies, Arctic foxes, and abundant birdlife, as well as marine species including six types of seals and up to 14 species of whales that frequent these nutrient-rich waters.

Throughout the program, enjoy the refined comforts of your ship, engaging onboard lectures, and ever-changing scenery that underscores the scale and beauty of the High Arctic. After disembarking in Longyearbyen, Svalbard, travel by included flight to Oslo, Norway, where the program concludes with an overnight stay at the first-class Grand Hotel Oslo.

For all recorded time, the mighty waters of Egypt’s Nile River have been the source of life-giving sustenance, cultural riches, and mythic power. Immerse yourself in both the ancient treasures—which continue to be unearthed each month—and present-day Egypt. See the iconic pyramids in Giza, visit the stunning temples at Abu Simbel, and delve deeply into the tombs of the Valley of the Kings.

Begin the journey in Cairo with a visit to the Great Pyramid on the Giza Plateau and exclusive access to the paws of the Great Sphinx. You will also have ample time to explore the recently opened Grand Egyptian Museum. After a morning visit to Abu Simbel, continue on a charter flight to Aswan and embark aboard the Nile Adventurer for a four-night Nile cruise highlighting the ancient wonders of Egypt.

Experience Egypt’s legendary hospitality on board the 5-star Nile Adventurer. Extensively renovated in 2019, this elegant 32-cabin vessel blends contemporary Egyptian design with the nation’s 7,000-year-old heritage. The Nile Adventurer boasts exceptional gourmet cuisine and provides an intimate, luxurious base for exploration and discussion.
