The inaugural 2018 collection is a portfolio of nine pre and postcruise luxury land programmes offering authentic travel experience­s in some of the most remote and untouched regions on Earth.

The tour programmes are limited to small groups and include most meals, beverages and exclusive culinary events. Guests enjoy inclusive luxury accommodat­ion at renowned boutique hotels, lodges and private tents. Each bespoke adventure is fully escorted.

The White Desert & South Pole: Standing on the Bottom of the Earth excursion sees guests explore the spectacula­r ice caves and tunnels of Antarctica as well as climbing a glacial island.

They get the opportunit­y to photograph a colony of emperor penguins at Atka Bay, follow in the footsteps of Ronald Amundsen and Robert Scott, and be among the privileged few who have reached the South Pole.

Another tour of epic proportion­s is India: In the Path of Powerful Titans, where guests are transporte­d throughout on private flights.

They will get to track tigers in Ranthambor­e wildlife reserve as well as travelling by vintage rail to Umaid Bhawan Palace in Jodhpur, where an elegant dinner includes stunning views of Mehrangarh – a centuries-old fort.

Also part of this incredible India experience is indulging in the charms of the ancient city of Jaisalmer from the comfort of the Serai luxury camp.

Guests then get to explore desert dunes on a jeep or camel safari before sampling delicacies at an elegant bush dinner.
