“As luxury travel continues to evolve, Pursuitist is connecting with top industry experts to explore the latest trends and innovations. Today, we’re sharing insights from two experts on what’s shaping up to be the key trends in luxury travel for 2014.
One of the biggest trends for 2014 is custom private jet tours. Whether it’s the Four Seasons Private Jet Experiences or Abercrombie & Kent’s Around the World by Private Jet Journeys, these experiences are redefining luxury travel. They offer exclusivity, customization, and convenience aboard luxurious private jets, elevating the travel experience to an entirely new level.
Another noticeable trend is the partnership between luxury hotels and high-end automakers, offering guests five-star driving experiences. This summer, for example, you can test drive the new Tesla while staying at the Tschuggen Grand Hotel in Arosa, Switzerland. Shangri-La Hotels has teamed up with Ferrari for the Ferrari Challenge Series at the Ferrari Racing Days in Shanghai. The Chesterfield in Palm Beach lets you explore the area in style with a Vintage Rolls Royce. Meanwhile, California’s Terranea Resort offers Lexus Drive Experiences, and InterContinental Hotels & Resorts provides unique rides like touring London in a speedy Mini Cooper or enjoying the Alps’ vistas from a VIP Audi A8. These partnerships bring an added layer of luxury to your stay, allowing you to experience these destinations in the most opulent automobiles.
Additionally, East Japan Railway Company (JR East) has introduced a deluxe sleeper train service designed for those who seek luxury while traveling across Japan. This new service is aimed at attracting affluent train enthusiasts, offering a journey in the lap of luxury. The champagne gold train features ten cars with room for 34 travelers, promising a lavish travel experience throughout eastern Japan and eventually across the entire nation.
