Some trips are timeless. Others are timely. At Luxe Travel, we keep a close eye on what’s emerging, evolving, and quietly becoming the next can’t-miss experience. From iconic train routes reborn in velvet and brass to once-in-a-lifetime spaceflights and sacred sites approached with care, these new and noteworthy journeys are more than trends—they’re invitations to see the world differently. When something exceptional comes along, you’ll find it here first.
This isn’t a rocket launch. It’s a quiet ascent to the edge of space. Aboard Spaceship Neptune, you’ll rise gently to 100,000 feet in a pressurized capsule lifted by a high-tech SpaceBalloon. No g-forces. No turbulence. Just a six-hour journey into the stratosphere, complete with panoramic views of Earth and the blackness beyond.
Designed with comfort and sustainability in mind, the experience includes plush seating, 360-degree windows, Wi-Fi, and climate control. You’ll lift off from Kennedy Space Center in Florida and return the same way—changed in more ways than one.
For those who want to mark a milestone, host something unforgettable, or simply see the world differently, this is a rare opportunity to do something few ever will.
A legend returns. The original Orient Express carriages from the 1920s and 30s are being brought back to life in a new partnership between Accor and SNCF. Redesigned by French architect Maxime d’Angeac, the restored train is an Art Deco masterpiece, blending old-world craftsmanship with contemporary elegance.
Think mirrored ceilings, Lalique lamps, Champagne call buttons, and marble-lined private bathrooms tucked behind sliding panels. The suites are as sumptuous as the lounge and dining cars, where every meal and moment evokes a different era of travel.
Launching in late 2026, the train will offer two primary routes—one through Central Europe and another tracing the iconic Paris to Istanbul journey. Until then, travelers can board La Dolce Vita, the sister experience that tours Italy in mid-century style with Michelin-level dining and curated off-train excursions.
Shrouded in mist and mystery, Machu Picchu continues to capture the imagination. Whether you hike the Inca Trail or arrive by train through the Sacred Valley, the journey to this ancient citadel is as awe-inspiring as the site itself.
From sunrise over stone terraces to quiet moments in local markets, this is a destination best experienced with care. We can help you plan a seamless route through Peru with luxury lodge stays, private guides, and local insight along the way.
Perfect for history lovers, adventure seekers, and spiritual explorers alike.
The Land of Fire and Ice continues to evolve. Beyond the iconic Blue Lagoon, new geothermal experiences are emerging—including Árböðin, a hot spring retreat with riverside saunas, and the fully opened Highland Baths in Kerlingarfjöll.
Meanwhile, Iceland’s culinary scene is thriving, with Michelin-starred spots in Reykjavík and immersive farm-to-table experiences around the island. Add in new luxury cruise routes, stylish self-drive options, and heightened interest due to recent volcanic activity, and Iceland remains a must-see for the well-prepared traveler.
