Private Jet: Hidden Wonders Around the World.
24 Days.

The world awaits you. Don't delay. Time flies when you hem and haw. With our partner, TCS & Starquest Expeditions, come join R. Crusoe & Son for an overdue examination of cultures—and scenery—so utterly unique from ours that this Papua New Guinea.international journey could well be a life-changer.

We begin in Seattle, Washington. First stop? Kyoto and Nara, Japan, repositories of this ancient nation's most important and authentic cultural treasures. Both cities are on UNESCO's World Heritage site list.

Next, man your snorkel. We're off for fine underwater viewing in the Palau Archipelago in the South Pacific. Our expert guide explains why the islands here look like floating mushrooms.

If you never thought you'd witness Stone Age living in the 21st century, think again. We do so in exotic Papau New Guinea, where not much has changed in, well, millennia.

Borobudur Temple. Java.Even at the ripe old age of 1,200 years, Borobudur Temple in Java still has the power to amaze. We're here to tour the remains of a mighty Hindu-Buddhist dynasty that once ruled this Indonesian island. Visit the Hindu temple of Prambanan, too.

Speaking of rulers, in the Vietnamese city of Hue, 12 Nguyen emperors built themselves highly stylized tombs, each a testament to its creator's personality quirks. Da Nang is on our radar as well, home of the accomplished Cham people.

Then jet into the Himalayas for a chance to tour the Kingdom of Bhutan, where Gross National Happiness is an official governmental statistic. Imagine that.

Bhutan.From unique Bhutan, it's a quick hop over to India, where the sacred city of Varanasi stands along the holy Ganges River. Hindu pilgrims have been flocking here for generations.

On to Africa. In Rwanda's Volcanoes National Park, we trek through dense bamboo forests in search of rare mountain gorillas. You will absolutely never forget the moment you meet these splendid creatures on their turf. And remember that you are among but a tiny handful of visitors granted permission to trek through the park.

RwandaInto the time machine known as Petra, Jordan. See what the Nabataeans were up to ages ago as we penetrate their once-hidden trading post. An alternative to Petra: Wadi Rum and its Bedouin people.

Europe, next. King Henry the Navigator's explorers stumbled upon the island of Madeira in the early 1400s. Now it's our turn. The town of Funchal charms us. And it's the setting for our gala farewell dinner to celebrate a journey well traveled.

Back home via Boston, Massachusetts.
