💎 Top 10 most expensive types of vacation in the world 🛥️
When someone talks about luxury travel, everyone usually imagines the pretentious Maldives, futuristic Singapore, sophisticated Switzerland and other synonyms of luxury vacation. This is only partly true: the destinations are indeed expensive, but by no means the most expensive in the world. The farther the chosen destination is from you and the more exotic it is considered, the more expensive the trip there will be. But how expensive is it? There are many tours for the price of luxury real estate, and I will now tell you about some of them.
Cruise around the world
A six-month sea voyage during which you will cross the whole world – who doesn’t dream of that? An excellent option for a comfortable old age. Cruises, in principle, are an extremely popular developmental treatment among wealthy retirees; I dream of joining their ranks someday.
To sail the whole world, you need to shell out at least 15 thousand dollars, but taking into account all the additional expenses, add another 10 thousand. The most expensive options reach up to 300 thousand dollars.
Obviously, you won’t visit every country in the world, but you’ll probably see 25-40 countries. This is also an excellent and very convenient way to visit the most remote islands on the planet. A significant disadvantage is visas. Sometimes on a cruise, relaxations and one-day disembarks at the port without a visa are allowed, but still it’s not worth the risk. If you do not have a passport from one of the EU countries, then you need to plan such an unusual trip at least six months in advance.
Of course, there are cheaper and simpler options, when nothing affects the quality of travel and the thrill of the experience. The best tours for any request are also a great service for organizing business trips. Therefore, if you need to organize a business meeting abroad, conduct negotiations or send your company to a corporate event, please contact us.
Journey to the bottom of the Mariana Trench
An excursion to the deepest point in the world cannot be cheap. This unique experience is available to either scientists or moneybags. A dive on a titanium alloy submarine takes about 4 hours. The same number of extreme tourists will take photographs of the mysterious bottom of the Pacific Ocean. The cost of the trip is from 200 to 750 thousand dollars.
Conquest of Everest
Another extreme entertainment for people in good physical shape and with a tight wallet. Climbers die on the world's highest mountain every year, but sad statistics do not stop dreamers. The demand for climbing does not stop, so travel companies always have offers for you. It makes sense to pay extra for VIP tours, because then specially trained people will take care of your safety, and an evacuation helicopter is included in the price if something happens. Starting price – from 35 thousand dollars. The maximum is up to 200 thousand, even a personal photographer will be with you until the base camp.
Arctic and Antarctic
The North and South Poles constantly attract tourists; the only thing that deters those who want them is the price. You can go to Antarctica as part of a cruise; if you do it without landing on the mainland, it can cost you $5,000. With landing on the shore, the price will jump to 25 thousand and above. There is an option – to fly over the South Pole, but then the price tag will reach 95 thousand.
The North Pole is also an expensive destination. Although there is not even land there, it is all ice, and you need to get there by icebreaker. But you can see polar bears there. Technically, the Arctic does not belong to any country in the world, but in fact, as many as 5 countries have rights to it: Canada, USA, Russia, Denmark and Norway. The cost of a cruise on an icebreaker is from 35 thousand dollars.
Tour to Somalia
Few people offer a trip to one of the most dangerous countries in the world. Obviously, because of the risks involved. But still, there are companies in the tourism services market that are ready to get involved in such an adventure. The price of a trip for one person in a group trip from Tartu starts from $5,000, this does not take into account flights, visas and other things. Of course, you will be accompanied throughout the entire journey by paramilitary security from the police department. But this is still quite dangerous, although for those who want to visit all countries of the world, all means are good. Just 5 years ago, such tours cost 20 thousand dollars, so, extreme travelers, this is your chance.
Time travel
Yes, it’s a clickbait subtitle, but I can’t call the dive to the Titanic anything else. Once upon a time, A-class tickets to a now sunken ship cost a lot, but it still does not compare with what those who want to go down to the bottom of the ocean are willing to pay today, and all for the sake of some wreckage, even the most famous. Unfortunately, this underwater journey carries life-threatening risks and is even surrounded by dark superstitions. Price – from 250 thousand dollars.
Journey into space
I think many have already guessed that the most unusual and expensive trip available to tourists is a flight into space. Few people can cover the price tag of millions of dollars, but who am I to forbid myself and you from dreaming. Richard Branson has long been promising “cheaper” flights—for $250,000. I hope this is at least a valid option for you.
Any of these trips can be made more expensive if you add a number of additional services, but, alas, you won’t be able to save any money. But all those who managed to go on such trips are lucky. I would love to talk to them. So if you have been or are going on one of these expensive or unusual trips, write to me and I will interview you.
For everyone else, I wish you as many affordable trips as possible. You don't have to go to the ends of the earth to enjoy travel. But if this is your dream, go for it and good luck!
