ABOUT LUXE ADVENTURES

Luxe Adventures is a luxury travel design studio specialising in personally vetted safaris, small ship voyages, expedition cruises and soft adventure travel.

We design journeys for travelers who want more than a holiday — they want depth, meaning, beauty, and experiences they’ll talk about for years.

Our Areas of Specialisation:

Luxe Adventures specialises in bespoke, personally vetted

travel experiences across six key pillars:

Luxury Safaris

Intimate camps, expert guiding and conservation-led

wildlife experiences across Southern and East Africa.

Small Ship & Yacht-Style Cruises

Boutique vessels, curated itineraries and

elevated service far from the crowds.

Expedition Cruises

Arctic, Antarctic, Galápagos, South Pacific, PNG and

remote frontier journeys led by expert naturalists and

expedition teams.

Scandinavia & the Nordics

Fjords, northern lights, midnight sun, remote lodges and

soft adventure in nature’s purest playgrounds.

Fiji and South Pacific

Barefoot luxury, private islands, diving, culture,

and warm, authentic hospitality.

Scuba Diving Holidays

World-class reefs, responsible operators,

cruise ship diving and resort-based diving.

Soft Adventure & Wildlife Travel

Light trekking, kayaking, immersive experiences, and meaningful cultural connection — always with a luxe landing at day’s end.

Luxury Wellness Retreats & Holistic Travel

Curated stays at world-leading wellness sanctuaries such as Six Senses, Kamalaya, Ananda and other transformative hideaways. Designed for travelers seeking rest, rejuvenation and deeper reconnection.

Every lodge, ship, resort, retreat and operator we recommend has been travelled by us or loved by our clients. No guesswork. No generic packages. Only exceptional, real-world-tested options.

Meet Rachel — The Explorer Behind Luxe Adventures

I’m Rachel — explorer, scuba diver, wildlife lover, resort consultant

and luxury travel designer.

I’ve travelled to over 100 countries across every continent,

from the plains of East Africa to the icefields of Antarctica,

the deep fjords of Norway and the coral reefs of Fiji.

Travel isn’t just my job — it’s my lifelong obsession.

I’m constantly out in the world:
✓ attending luxury travel conferences
✓ meeting with lodges and cruise partners
✓ inspecting ships
✓ exploring remote destinations
✓ learning from local guides and experts

This is how I stay ahead of what’s new, what’s changed, and what’s genuinely worth recommending.

Why the Pearl?

Because a pearl isn’t made overnight.
It’s cultivated over time — layer by layer, shaped by nature and care.
That’s how I design itineraries:
with layers of insight, personal experience and thoughtful details.

Why Luxe Adventures Is Different

Personally Vetted Travel Only

We only recommend experiences we trust — the lodges, ships, resorts, wellness retreats and guides we’ve travelled with ourselves or would confidently send our closest friends to. No guesswork. No generic packages. Just exceptional, real-world-tested journeys.

Firsthand Expertise

We know the wildlife, the ships, the camps, the seasons and the guides because we’ve experienced them — across luxury safaris, small ship voyages, expedition cruises, wellness retreats, scuba diving holidays and soft adventure travel.
This firsthand knowledge shapes every itinerary we design.

Connection Matters — In Every Sense

Connection sits at the heart of Luxe Adventures.
We design journeys that connect you with a destination — its culture, its nature, its wildlife and its people — and we leverage our industry connections and global affiliations to elevate your experience behind the scenes.

Our network gives you access to:

trusted on-the-ground partners and expert guides
insider knowledge and exclusive opportunities
elevated benefits at select luxury hotels, lodges and cruise lines
carefully chosen operators who prioritise safety, sustainability and exceptional service

When you work with Luxe Adventures, you’re not just booking a trip — you’re gaining access to expertise, experience, relationships and affiliations that quietly transform a great holiday into an extraordinary one.
