Around the World with Geoffrey Kent

An Inspiring Expedition by Private Jet

October 18–November 11, 2018

®

we experienced each new destination through up-close encounters and beyond-the-guidebook expertise.

I am pleased to invite you to join my latest Inspiring Expedition by Private Jet, a journey I designed myself to circle the world while including destinations I have longed to experience in person. Around the World with Geoffrey Kent combines the finest in luxury, hospitality and authentic experiences to create a journey like no other — one I hope you will take alongside me.

Embarking from Miami, we trace a southerly route through Nicaragua, Chile and Easter Island, immersing ourselves in some of the world’s most iconic natural beauty. From there we proceed west to New Zealand and Australia, where we enjoy the wonders of nature alongside unforgettable food and local wine. Turning north, we leisurely explore the backwaters of southern India, relax by a pristine beach in Oman and discover the medieval heritage of Georgia. Throughout, we travel on a customized private jet with fully lie-back seats and enjoy five-star accommodations, unforgettable dining and the kind of insider access that no one does better than A&K.

I hope you join me on this journey of a lifetime.
