Itinerary

Begin your epic world trip with a flight from Delhi to Oslo, then head to Longyearbyen, Svalbard, for an Arctic adventure. Cruise to the Nordenskiöldbreen glacier on a hybrid-powered catamaran, passing Pyramiden and Skansbukta Bay, with chances to spot polar bears and other arctic wildlife. On land, explore by ATV or dog sled and visit the Global Seed Vault.

From Svalbard, the journey continues through Europe. Starting in Frankfurt, we’ll drive along the scenic Route 500 to Konstanz, visiting Mummelsee Glacier Lake and Triberg Waterfalls. In Switzerland, experience the Rhine Falls, indulge at the Lindt Chocolate Factory, and ascend Mt. Titlis via the Titlis Rotair cable car. Driving through the Swiss Alps, we reach Milan, stopping at the stunning Lake Como.

Next, we cruise the Italian Dolomites and arrive in Innsbruck for a guided tour of the Imperial Garden, St. James Cathedral, the Golden Roof, and Maria Theresien Street. In Munich, we will visit BMW Welt and the BMW Museum before concluding the European leg with a relaxed evening in Frankfurt.

Europe

Your adventure in South Africa starts with Rwanda, where you'll visit the Genocide Museum in Kigali to understand the country's profound history and resilience. Cap off this segment of your trip with a thrilling gorilla trek in Volcano National Park, offering a rare and awe-inspiring encounter with these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat.

Next up, start your exploration in Pretoria, the lively capital city and the boarding point for the luxurious Rovos Rail, which is known as one of the top luxury train rides in the world.

This elegant train journey complete with gourmet dining will take you on a 4-day, 3-night journey through South Africa. The journey includes a stop in Kimberley and Matjiesfontein before reaching Cape Town.

With that we tick off Africa from our list of continents on this epic journey to fly towards the next one.

South Africa

The world trip takes a lively turn in Rio, Brazil’s party capital. Stroll along Copacabana Beach, jam with locals, and soak in the carnival energy. Ride the iconic cable car up Sugarloaf Mountain and take a thrilling helicopter tour for breathtaking views of Christ the Redeemer.

Next, we fly to Fortaleza to begin our off-road adventure on the Route of Emotions. Drive through Fortaleza’s sand dunes, cross the Mandau River, and pass coastal towns like Flecheiras and Icaraí De Amontada before reaching Jericoacoara. From here, we fly to the stunning Iguazu Falls, where 275 cascades stretch across two miles, creating a breathtaking natural wonder on the Brazil-Argentina border.

Our journey then takes us to Ecuador, where we explore Quito, one of the few places in the world where you can stand directly on the equator, the line that divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.

From there, we board the luxurious Anakonda Cruise into the Amazon rainforest, gliding along the Coca and Napo Rivers. Spot exotic wildlife at Panacocha, the Mythical Piranha Lagoon, and witness the dazzling Parrot Clay Licks. After this unforgettable experience, we return to Quito, marking the end of our South American leg before heading to the next continent.

A highlight of our stay is a visit to Chichen Itza, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, where we explore the ancient Mayan ruins, including El Castillo pyramid and the sacred cenote.

After soaking in Mexico’s beauty, we catch a flight back to South America, as reaching Oceania requires a transit through Chile.

We’ll savor fresh seafood at Mercado Central and experience the bohemian charm of Lastarria.

Next, we visit Casablanca Valley, famous for its Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay, enjoying vineyard tastings amid rolling landscapes. Back in Santiago, we have time to unwind—whether at a café, shopping at Patio Bellavista, or soaking in the city's vibrant energy—before flying onward to our next continent.

North America

Flying from Chile to New Zealand means crossing the International Date Line—an experience like no other. One moment, you’re soaring over the Pacific, and the next, you land in Christchurch, where an entire day has vanished from your calendar!

In New Zealand, we get behind the wheel and start our drive from Christchurch heading to the French-inspired town of Akaroa before continuing to Kaikoura, where we’ll visit a seal colony and enjoy world-class whale watching. Driving along the scenic West Coast, we pass Punakaiki’s famous Pancake Rocks and the historic town of Greymouth.

Next, we arrive at Franz Josef Glacier, the world’s steepest and fastest-moving glacier, where we embark on a thrilling helicopter tour and glacier hike. Our road trip leads us to Queenstown, the adventure capital of the world, where adrenaline-seekers can ride the Queenstown Gondola and experience a heart-pounding jet boat ride through Shotover Canyon.

We then journey to Milford Sound, often called the "Eighth Wonder of the World," cruising past towering cliffs and cascading waterfalls. The adventure culminates at Mount Cook, New Zealand’s highest peak, before returning to Christchurch, completing an unforgettable New Zealand road trip.

But the journey through Oceania is far from over! From Christchurch, we fly to Nadi, Fiji, where a South Sea sailing adventure awaits. Cruise through crystal-clear waters, visit the CFC Hot Spring Mud Pool, explore the Garden of the Sleeping Giant, and immerse yourself in Fijian culture with a village visit.

Next, we take off for Kiritimati in Kiribati, one of the most remote islands on the planet. This untouched paradise, the world’s largest coral atoll, offers rare birdwatching, stunning ocean views, and an off-the-grid experience. Our adventure includes a boat trip to Motu Tapu Islet, spotting exotic seabirds, and exploring historic sites near Huff Dam, where we may see the rare bokikokiko bird. After a quick stop for lunch at Banana Village, we return to Cassidy Airport for our flight back to Fiji.

Oceania

Fly from the tropical paradise of Fiji to the buzzing metropolis of Tokyo for the final leg of your world trip. 

We kick off in Tokyo, a city buzzing with life. We’ll visit Asakusa, home to Senso-ji Temple, Tokyo’s oldest and most famous Buddhist temple. At Senkyaku Banrai, we’ll step into a lively Edo-period-themed market before heading up Tokyo Skytree, the tallest tower in the world, for breathtaking city views. We’ll also see the Imperial Palace, the Emperor’s residence, and explore Akihabara, the ultimate hub for anime, gaming, and cutting-edge gadgets.

We continue our Tokyo exploration with a visit to Meiji Jingu, a peaceful shrine hidden in a lush forest. In Harajuku, we’ll experience the city’s trendiest fashion and street culture. Then, it’s off to the legendary Shibuya Crossing, one of the busiest in the world, before ending the day in Shinjuku, known for its neon lights, buzzing nightlife, and endless entertainment.

Leaving Tokyo, we drive toward Kawaguchi, stopping at Arakurayama Sengen Park, where we’ll get that perfect postcard view of Mt. Fuji with a traditional five-story pagoda. We’ll also visit Mt. Fuji’s 5th Station, a scenic viewpoint offering up-close views of Japan’s most iconic peak. Our day ends with a stroll through the stunning Lake Kawaguchi Maple Corridor, where vibrant maple trees create a breathtaking tunnel of color.

Next, we head to Takayama, making a stop at Matsumoto Castle, a stunning black-and-white fortress known as the “Crow Castle.” In Takayama, we’ll wander through the charming Miyagawa Morning Market, filled with local crafts and street food, and explore Takayama Jinya, a historical government house from the Edo period.

From Takayama, we travel to Kanazawa, then on to Kyoto, with stops at the Motorcar Museum of Japan, showcasing an incredible collection of vintage and classic cars, and the Shirahige Shrine, famous for its torii gate standing in the waters of Lake Biwa.

Kyoto is the heart of traditional Japan, and we’ll experience its beauty by walking through the dreamy Arashiyama Bamboo Grove and visiting the stunning Golden Pavilion (Kinkakuji). We’ll also take part in a Japanese tea ceremony and get a taste of samurai culture with a Samurai and Ninja experience.

Next, we drive to Okayama, stopping at the legendary Himeji Castle, Japan’s best-preserved feudal castle, often called the “White Heron Castle” for its graceful design.

Next, we travel to Hiroshima, where we visit the Hiroshima Museum and the Atomic Bomb Dome, a UNESCO World Heritage site. This reflective experience is followed by a visit to Miyajima Island, famous for the Itsukushima Shrine and its "floating" torii gate. A ride up the ropeway offers breathtaking panoramic views of the island and the Seto Inland Sea.

Then, experience Japan’s engineering marvel as we zoom back to Tokyo on the lightning-fast Shinkansen Bullet Train.

As your epic 80-day journey across six continents nears its grand finale, gather with newfound friends for a farewell dinner in Tokyo. The laughter, the views, and the incredible stories from your global adventure will stay with you long after your final departure from Japan—marking the end of an unforgettable journey and the beginning of a lifetime of memories.
