No. 1 White Desert ANTARCTICA
Step on the Seventh Continent without ever boarding a ship in what is undoubtedly one of the most epic travel adventures ever. White Desert’s Greatest Day trip starts in Cape Town, where guests board a private Gulfstream for a five-hour evening flight to Wolf’s Fang, Antarctica’s only commercial runway.
Once there, adrenaline-charged activities like fat biking and 4X4 rides along the ice, a guided hike across the tundra, and a Champagne picnic atop a frozen peak await. The jet returns to Cape Town in time to tuck into a warm bed at your hotel. From there, let me plan the perfect insider’s South African holiday exploring the beautiful beaches of Cape Town, the stunning, relaxing Winelands and the private safari concessions of Greater Kruger National Park.
No. 2 AMAN + Remote Lands Private Jet Journeys
I am an Aman Junkie, loving the relaxed sophistication of the brand’s hotels, especially those in Asia, a country Fig Travel Co. clients want to explore again and again.
I can’t think of a better way to visit the popular region of Southeast Asia than via a swanky, custom-designed Aman jet on a journey led by Remote Lands, one of my favorite Asian ground partners. With only 19 seats, the luxurious Aman Airbus ACJ 319 skips the hassle of commercial airports and flights, taking a small group of like-minded travelers in style and comfort to Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and Thailand, where they’ll enjoy deep dives into the culture, food, history and people of each country. This brilliant partnership also offers trips to Bhutan, Greece, Sri Lanka and other destinations where you can find the growing Aman brand’s chic properties.
No. 3 BELMOND Trains
Experience Golden Age Glamour with all the modern trappings aboard one of Belmond’s beautifully appointed luxury trains across Europe, the United Kingdom, Southeast Asia or Peru.
While each train offers its own magic, if I had to choose one journey, it would be on the original Art Deco Venice Simplon-Orient-Express train’s five-day trip from Paris to Budapest to Bucharest to Istanbul. This is not the crusty stuff of an Agatha Christie novel, friends; Belmond’s train journeys are sophisticated, sexy and quite the party (clients have shared the parties go on until the wee hours of the morning!) with entertainment, lavish meals, free-flowing Champagne and every pampering touch you can imagine. I would start the trip with a few nights soaking up Paris's joie de vivre (always a good idea) and end it by exploring Istanbul, one of my favorite trips of last year, for its gorgeous multicultural architecture, history, and incredible culinary scene.
