Land Rover Driving Adventures

Whether it's wildlife or wild trails you seek, the latest Land Rover Driving Adventures have you covered. The eight-day Namibia Adventure sees you take an epic road trip past sand dunes, through the animal-filled Etosha National Park, all the way to where the Namib desert meets the South Atlantic Ocean. For those seeking bigger thrills, the five-day Utah Adventure sends you out on some of Moab's most challenging trails, including the Seven Mile Rim, Poison Spider Mesa, and Hells Revenge Trails. No matter which you choose, you'll get to know the new Discovery well, with all driving activities, accommodation, meals, and airport transfers included in the price.

Outer Shores Expeditions

Explore the diverse wildlife and rugged landscapes of Canada's Pacific Coast aboard a wooden schooner with Outer Shores Expeditions. These small-ship voyages allow guest to travel the waters of British Columbia while taking in some of the most impressive scenery in the world. The 70-foot vessel named Passing Cloud is a traditional wooden schooner equipped with ample deck space for observing grizzly bears and passing dolphins. Below deck, classic maritime accommodations come in the form of three private staterooms, a wheelhouse, and the main salon. Trips range from 5 to 9 days and include locations like Vancouver Island, Haida Gwaii, and the Great Bear Rainforest. There are even special options for photographers and private tours.

Extreme Tornado Tours

Many people prefer to be as far away from severe weather as possible. For others, though, storms are a real thrill — and Extreme Tornado Tours is the best way to get a front-row seat for the action. Operating out of both Oklahoma City and Denver, these tours are run by experienced professionals in specialized vans packed with weather-monitoring equipment. Hotel stays for your 7-10 day excursion, and a guaranteed window seat in the van, are included in the price, meaning all you need to worry about is your food, flight, and camera.

Supercar Vending Machine

A far cry from the soda dispensing machines we're accustomed to, this Supercar Vending Machine in Singapore is ready to spit out a Porsche or Lambo at the press of a button. It's not self-serve, though — instead, once you've picked your car from the inventory, the dealer taps the screen on his iPad, and your car begins its journey down the 15-story tower. In the meantime, you're treated to a video introducing the car shown with pulse-pounding bass; the dealer hopes to start offering wine or whiskey while you wait as an added perk. Once your vehicle arrives on the ground, it rotates on a turntable illuminated by spotlights, waiting for you to get in and drive.

Windrush Car Storage

Your car is your baby. Ensure it receives the best care when you're not around by parking it at Windrush Car Storage. Founded by a former Ferrari Formula One team member, these discrete, ISO 9001 certified underground storage facilities are far from your average parking garage. Upon arrival, each vehicle undergoes a 12-step process where it's photographed and recorded, washed, dried, and vacuumed, fluid levels and battery checked, and hooked to a battery conditioner before going under a breathable indoor cover. It will be checked on every day while it's there, with more detailed examinations scheduled every week and 60 days, and in immaculate condition when it's time to pick it up. Facilities are available in Central London and the Cotswolds.

Endangered Species Private Jet Safari

Plenty of safaris give you a chance to see amazing animals in their natural environments. The Endangered Species Private Jet Safari does them one better by connecting you with experts who help you get a better grasp on what's being done to protect the most vulnerable species. The trip begins in Nairobi, then heads to the Masai Mara National Game Reserve where you'll meet with both a cheetah and lion expert during a two-night stay. You'll then head to the famous Samburu Elephant Watch Camp for another two nights; other stops include Laikipia and Lewa to see and learn more about wild dogs, rhinos, crocodiles, and hippos. Between each stop your plane will fly low, giving you a unique birds-eye view of the Savannah, before heading back to Nairobi for your trip home.

Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection

Sporting 139 suites spread across its 190m length, the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection promises the same level of service as its hotels, at sea. Each suite will have its own private balcony and well-designed, modern interior, and will be joined by several duplex penthouses. Thanks to its smaller size compared to cruise ships, it will be able to call at a variety of unique locations across the Caribbean, Latin America, Mediterranean, and Northern Europe, with both overnight and single-day calls planned. The vessel will also offer a restaurant from Michelin-starred chef Sven Elverfeld, a lounge with a panoramic view and a full-service spa. Reservations open next May for voyages beginning in 2019.

Jaguar Land Rover Classic Works

The largest classic car sales, manufacturing, and restoration facility of its kind in the world, the newly opened Jaguar Land Rover Classic Works is a must-see for auto enthusiasts. Housed under its 14,000 square meter roof are a workshop with room for over 120 specialists, servicing and restoring all Jaguar and Rover models out of production for a decade or longer. The workshop also holds the remanufacturing zones for the Series I, Range Rover Classic, and Jaguar E-type Reborn programs, and the XKSS build line. Joining those more hands-on areas are the Jaguar Land Rover Classic Collection, a presentation of British motoring history comprised of more than 500 vehicles, and a dedicated showroom where you can bring home a classic of your own. Guided tours of the space begin in September.

Seeing Red: 70 Years of Ferrari

In 1947, Enzo Ferrari rolled out the first car to bear his name and the now-famous Prancing Horse — the Ferrari 125S. 70 years, over 5,000 race victories, and some of the most desirable cars ever made later, the Petersen Automotive Museum brings several historically significant Ferraris together in one place and one color. The aforementioned 125S is here, along with the most valuable car in the world, the $38-millon 250 GTO. Ferrari's strong track heritage is also represented, with the dominant 2006 Ferrari 248 F1, driven by Michael Schumacher and the 1965 Le Mans-winning 250 LM. The exhibit runs until April 2018.

Shiki-Shima Train

Experience the beauty of the Japanese countryside and the outstanding service that the island nation is known for aboard the Shiki-Shima Train. This ten-car sightseeing train was designed by Ken Okuyama, the former Pininfarina Design Director responsible for the Ferrari Enzo, and offers a host of delights for its passengers. Those include a dining room serving cuisine from Eastern Japan, an airy lounge, two window-lined observation cars, and suites that combine traditional Japanese design with modern touches. Itineraries ranging from a one-night-two-day tour to a three-night, four-day excursion, but unfortunately, it's already booked for the rest of the year, and to get a ticket, you'll need to fill out a form and enter a lottery that determines who gets the privilege of climbing aboard.

Spirit Of Shackleton Antarctic Voyage

Embarking from Ushuaia, Argentina, the Spirit Of Shackleton Antarctic Voyage is a 21-day excursion that lets you explore some of the most beautiful, unspoiled land (and water) in the world. On the trip, you'll visit Antarctica, the Falkland Islands, and the island of South Georgia, where Shackleton ended up after escaping the wreck of his crushed ship. In addition to all the wildlife you'll encounter, you'll also learn more about the area via lectures given onboard your 134-passenger expedition ship, and hopefully return home with a greater appreciation of life in the polar region.

Native Campervans

Campervans are ideal for short getaways. They're not ideal daily drivers, so unless you plan on living one, you're spending a lot of money for something that's going to sit in your driveway much of the time. Native Campervans are pre-configured rentals that give you the convenience without the hassles of ownership. Available in two sizes, they offer enclosed sleeping areas, kitchens with sinks and gas stoves, foldaway tables, and everything else you need for a brief adventure. You get 100 miles per day included with the rental and have a convenient pickup/drop-off location just north of downtown Denver.

Off The Beaten Path National Park Trails

Warmer weather brings the opportunity to get outside. Tomtom's collection of Off The Beaten Path National Park Trails are a great place to start. From California's Joshua Tree to the North Ridge of Acadia in Maine, these trails cover everything from landmarks to caves and give you a chance to discover even heavily visited parks in a way few get to enjoy. All the maps are in GPX format, making them compatible with a variety of apps and sport watches.

Rooftop Cinema Club

Drive-in theaters are mostly a thing of the past, but there are still creative ways to take in a film during the summer. An excellent example is Rooftop Cinema Club, a summer film series that takes place on select cities' most scenic rooftops. They offer wireless headphones for each attendee to ensure the best listening experience, and you'll sit in comfy deckchairs with adjustable seat heights and plenty of legroom. Some locations allow you to bring your own beverage, while others offer a full-service bar. Film choices are a mixture of cinematic classics, 1980's favorites, and Oscar winners from as recently as last year.

Crystal AirCruise

Combining the most luxurious private jet experience with the safety and economy of a full-size Boeing, Crystal AirCruise is a new high-end way to explore the world. The customized 777 offers the widest in-cabin configuration, highest ceilings, and highest staff-to-guest ratio of any private jet. While aboard, you can enjoy seats that convert into 180º lie-flat beds, an onboard wine cellar, and Michelin star-inspired cuisine in the separate dining and lounge areas. Its first flight leaves this August and tours every city where Peninsula Hotels operates; other trips, including to various wine-producing regions and the South Pacific, are scheduled for 2018 and include a full itinerary, so you won't have to search for things to do once you land.

Blue Marble Titanic Expeditions

Thanks to her final resting place over 12,000 feet below the surface, fewer people have visited the wreckage of the RMS Titanic than have scaled Mt. Everest or been to space. Blue Marble Titanic Expeditions give you the chance to see what's left of this historic vessel first-hand, from inside a specially-designed titanium and carbon fiber sub. The eight-day journeys will begin on the coast of Newfoundland and are designed for just nine passengers, making this a truly exclusive experience.

SpaceX Dragon Moon Flights

You've always wanted to be an astronaut and travel around the moon, but probably never got further than a space flight simulation video game. SpaceX Dragon Moon Flights make those dreams a reality, and won't only be exclusive to the highly trained astronauts that have put in tons of time and energy to prepare. Instead, they're now available for a different elite group — two private citizens who have paid a "significant deposit" to do a moon mission. After a demonstration mission in automatic mode without people on board, lift-off is scheduled to take place from Kennedy Space Center's historic Pad 39A in the second quarter of 2018. The trip would mark the first time in 45 years that humans have voyaged into deep space and it will take them further and faster into the Solar System than any before them.

Star Wars Land

Star Wars has had a presence in Disney's parks since the opening of Star Tours at Disneyland in 1987, but nothing compares to what's coming. Simultaneously under construction at both Disneyland in Anaheim and Disney's Hollywood Studios in Florida, Star Wars Land is an immersive experience that will take you on a journey to the galaxy far, far away. Highlights of the 14-acre area include an all-new ride that will let you pilot the Millennium Falcon, and a second attraction that puts you in the center of a battle between the First Order and the Resistance — with a recreation of the Cantina on-site for post-ride refreshments. While it's a little too early to make concrete travel plans, you can count on your journey embarking sometime in 2019.

Mercedes-Benz Classic Car Travel

You don't have to drive on vacation. But if you're the type that wants to get behind the wheel on holiday, Mercedes-Benz Classic Car Travel is a fantastic option. Traveling in a small group with a local guide and service team, you'll hop behind the wheel of a vintage Mercedes-Benz SL, cruising along some of Europe's best roads before returning to your five-star accommodations for dinner. Currently available in Tuscany or the Côte d'Azur, it beats trying to track down a vintage ride and hoping it doesn't break down while you're in a foreign land.

Abercrombie & Kent Range Rover Road Trip

Range Rover and Abercrombie & Kent have teamed up for what looks an unforgettable road trip. The Abercrombie & Kent Range Rover Road Trip sees travelers touching down in five different continents, eight countries, and nine of the best hotels in the world. And your coach for the voyage is none other than the SVAutobiography. This trip has a little bit of everything, from a drive through the Ouarzazate Desert to a stay in a 16th century hunting lodge after a helicopter trip for a picnic on a glacier. A 21 day excursion meant to redefine luxury travel the same way the new SVAutobiography is attempting to redefine luxury automobiles.

Journeys with Belmond

Every time you travel, you leave the house hopeful that the stars align and everything goes smoothly. When on a journey with Belmond, you don't have to hope. They use their insider expertise, and their collection of hotels, trains and river cruises to create itineraries that include transportation, accommodations and activities guaranteed to delight. Varying in length from 1-3 nights to over 10, exciting adventures are ready to be booked from the mountains of Machu Picchu to the canals of Venice and most interesting places in between.
