Cruising vs. Exploration

What sets an expedition cruise apart from a traditional cruise? Simply put, an expedition cruise is about exploration, rather than a luxury.

Client Testimonials

A family adventure beyond compare

I recently had the pleasure of working with Duncan who planned an extraordinary trip to Thailand for me and my family. From start to finish, the entire experience was seamless and enjoyable. Duncan took the time to get to know us and understand our interests and preferences, and as a result, he put together an itinerary that was perfectly tailored to our needs. Duncan arranged for us to stay in some of the most beautiful and unique accommodations I have ever seen. Throughout our trip, we had access to knowledgeable and friendly guides who took us to some of the most incredible sites in Thailand. From exploring ancient temples to visiting local markets and sampling delicious cuisine, every day was filled with new and exciting experiences. Overall, I cannot recommend Duncan highly enough. His expertise, attention to detail, and dedication to providing an unforgettable travel experience truly set him apart.

Honeymoon Heaven

Where do I even start! A huge THANK YOU to Duncan for arranging the trip of our lifetime! My now husband and I were looking for the perfect destination for our honeymoon and Duncan helped us find our paradise in the Maldives. To say the least, he went above and beyond! We even mentioned during our trip that without Duncan, we don't believe we could have made the trip as smooth as it was on our own. He was not only available for any questions we had but always on top of any changing information and extremely helpful and communicative. Our time in Finolhu was so special and Duncan was a major reason why. Flying literally across the world, we never stressed getting there or back and he helped picking the perfect place for us.

Service beyond compare!

Wow! What can I say about @luxurylondonguy? Words can't explain... Duncan helped me get my daughter back from New Zealand during the Coronavirus crisis. When borders were closing and flights being cancelled, Duncan was on hand to help. It did not matter that it was 6am on a Saturday.

Awesome trip to Dubrovnik

Duncan was fantastic from booking the trip to taking care of us whilst we were away. He really listen to our needs and tailored our trip specifically to us. He was a phone call away when we ran into an issue, and very quickly resolved the situation by ringing his contacts, even though it was outside working hours in the UK. We were ever so grateful for his dedicated service. We really felt stress-free and got to enjoy an amazing holiday. I highly recommend Duncan and will be going through him for all my future travels.

The Ultimate VIP Travel Experience

If you're looking for a travel agent who will treat you like absolute royalty, look no further than Duncan. My husband and I have had the pleasure of booking several unforgettable trips through him — to Belize, Italy, Switzerland, and the UK — and each one has been a masterpiece of luxury and seamless coordination. Duncan is not just a travel agent, he’s a travel curator. He consistently places us in the most posh, stunning hotels in every destination — places we probably wouldn't have discovered on our own. From the moment we arrive at a new port or airport, there is always someone waiting to greet us with a smile and take us under their wing. We never have to guess what to do next — it's all perfectly organized, allowing us to relax and enjoy every second of our travels. Every detail is meticulously handled — transfers, reservations, experiences — you name it. Duncan makes sure we feel like VIPs at every stage of the journey. His taste? Impeccable. His planning? Flawless. His dedic

Duncan and his team have been looking after us for

We’ve been fortunate to travel extensively from India’s vibrant cities and serene retreats, Mexico’s lush coastlines, and iconic destinations across Europe and the United States. Throughout every journey, our travel consultant has been nothing short of exceptional. From the outset, they took the time to understand exactly what we value: authenticity, comfort, seamless logistics, and a touch of indulgence. Whether it’s a treehouse retreat overlooking the Pacific in Mexico, a tented hotel in Rajasthan, or a last-minute weekend in Paris, every trip has felt personalised and perfectly balanced. What sets them apart is their ability to combine deep destination knowledge with an instinctive understanding of what makes a trip special for us. Every recommendation, from restaurants to hidden local gems, has felt thoughtfully chosen. Even when plans have shifted, they’ve handled it effortlessly, with calm professionalism and genuine care. Luxury means different things to different people

Great coordination and service

Very impressed with the coordination of a large party travelling to Greece . We had to change our arrival date a few times and nothing was too much trouble . They also tried to ensure we didn’t have any additional costs where possible. Would recommend for any future overseas events . They do individual travel holidays as well.
