The most exclusive ways to travel the world

 

For an exclusive, luxury, travel experience tourists will have to dig deep into their pockets. The online travel portal HolidayCheck has searched the market to bring together the top exclusive trips for those that can afford an extra special holiday.

Space Flight - ₤130,000 

Live the childhood dream. Experience weightlessness and see the world from above. The exclusive provider Virgin Galactic offers up to 6 tourist places aboard the VSS Enterprise. The first manned test flight in July 2010 successfully reached an altitude of 110km. To book, a deposit of a mere ₤13,000 is required!

For those first class travellers that can afford it, this 13-acre island is the perfect place to rent. The main house and several suites can accommodate up to 12 guests. This is full board to the maximum level of service. A personal Gourmet Chef can meet any culinary desire, and of course the best wine to accompany it. Unfortunately drinks are not included in the price. 

 

Titanic dive – ₤26,000 

The wreck of the RMS Titanic, sunk in 1912 is located at depths of 4000m in the Atlantic Ocean. Today you can visit it buy going on a submarine dive. Be careful, the twelve-day expedition aboard a research vessel requires a good standard of physical fitness. 

 

Climb Mount Everest - ₤42,200

Temperatures of less than 35 degrees may not be everybody’s idea of a holiday. A trip to the northern-most point on the earth is not for the faint hearted.
