Unlocking a number of bespoke and bucket-list experiences along the way, guests will enjoy a private dinner on London Tower Bridge’s walkway and an exclusive Viking feast in Kjarnaskogur Forest in Iceland. They’ll meet the descendants of the famous Bounty Mutineers in Pitcairn after spending two days on Easter Island; explore the Unesco World Biosphere reserves of Robinson Crusoe Island and Isla Alejandro Selkirk; swim with rays in Bora Bora and unwind in Aitutaki Lagoon in the Cook Islands. Almost 60% of the destinations will be remote and accessed by Zodiac inflatable boats.
