The Opulent Explorer

The travel bug bit me in the Fall of 1998 when I sailed around the world on Semester at Sea. After traveling the world for years—I’ve racked up passport stamps from 60 different countries—I wanted to put my extensive personal experience to work by helping others discover the more authentic sides of their destinations. Plus, as amazing as my own travels were, I always felt something was missing: personal service. The “perks” I’d get from my credit card companies and loyalty programs left me cold. My team and I are not only experts in travel—we’re experts in you. Through our exclusive connections to on-the-ground guides and artisans, boutique tour companies, and the finest properties worldwide, we’re able to craft custom itineraries tailored to your specific desires—full of “wow” moments that fuel a lifetime of memories. And while the travel landscape looks drastically different this year—I think that’s all the more reason to work with a travel team you can trust. The Opulent Explorer is deeply dedicated to acting as your advocate, stepping in on your behalf to smooth out any issues that arise before, during, or after your travels. Finally, our affiliation with Virtuoso, the world’s leading consortia of luxury travel companies, allows us to unlock incredible value, amenities, and upgrades that loyalty programs promise, yet fail to deliver—at vetted properties sure to impress.
