Abercrombie & Kent

Not the clothing retailer but a luxury tour company...

I couldn't sleep last night so I was browsing the available trips from Abercrombie & Kent. They advertise themselves as a luxury tour company and they're not kidding. Their flagship trip is a round-the-world by private jet where you fly around on a Boeing 757 with 50 first class seats. The trips are listed here. The trip next year is 26 days starting at $160,000 (double occupancy). Crazy!

They also have trips where they fly you between destinations on small chartered jets for about $35,000. They also have "normal" tour groups that are cheaper but still twice as expensive as similar trips on Trafalgar. Many many years ago, I went on a tour of Europe on Trafalgar. It was pretty cheap since it was mostly free time but the side excursions were pretty expensive.
