Recent travel trends suggest travelers are seeking inspiration through entertainment. Thanks to Guy Ritchie’s Fountain of Youth, starring John Krasinski and Natalie Portman, travelers are now hopping aboard the “around the world” travel trend. Data from Spate suggests that social media views on videos related to travel around the world have increased by 20% this quarter, with an average weekly view of 79.6 million.
Additionally, the search term “trip around the world” has increased by 5% this past quarter, indicating that travelers are interested in continent-hopping. Building on this trend concept, Butterfield & Robinson has launched a new “60-Day Around the World” trip that seamlessly blends luxury, culture, and conscious travel into a single journey.
About the 60-Day Around the World Trip
The once-in-a-lifetime 60-day trip will take travelers to six destinations across four continents — all within just 60 days. In honor of the brand’s 60th anniversary, this celebration trip focuses on the regions they love and the people who bring them to life. Travelers on this journey will have the opportunity to experience the world through a variety of immersive cultural moments, breathtaking active excursions, and indulgent cuisine. The brand’s experience designers have carefully crafted each journey.
The first of the six destinations on this around-the-world trip kicks off in Oaxaca, followed by Cambodia and Vietnam, India, Morocco, Turkey, and ending in Burgundy. Guests can also book each destination as a separate excursion if joining the 60-day adventure seems a bit too daring.
Around the world itinerary
Oaxaca
At this kick-off location, travelers can immerse themselves in Zapotec culture and explore its unique landscapes. From legendary mezcal tastings at the renowned Casa Silencio to visiting the 2,000-year-old Cypress, El Árbol del Tule, this destination kicks off the around-the-world trip with rich culture.
Mekong and Hoi An
Travelers will begin in Cambodia and board a luxurious boat to sail the Mekong. Along the way, they’ll tour local farms, bike alongside canals, visit floating markets, and even eat dinner at the home of a local chef.
India
Next, travelers will stay in RAAS Jodhpur, a restored palace, and visit Rajasthan’s leopard sanctuary, Suján Jawai. The Indian experience also immerses travelers in the culture by visiting local workshops to learn more about the community and art in the city.
Morocco
In Morocco, travelers will spend time in the desert and explore the Atlas Mountains. A travel guide will navigate travelers through the mountain, educating them about the 2023 earthquake and its impacts on the region. Visitors will learn about the community’s resilience and how they’ve rebuilt since.
Turkey
Next stop: Ancient Turkey. Here, travelers will wander Istanbul’s bazaars, ride in a balloon over Cappadocia’s fairy chimneys, and bike along the Aegean coast. The Turkey experience also includes sunset feasts amid ancient temples and private yacht swims, for a blend of adventure with a dash of luxury.
Burgundy
Ending in Burgundy, the around-the-world trip concludes with a visit to Butterfield & Robinson’s friends and family (where the company began). Here, travelers can enjoy exclusive visits with boutique winemakers, learn the art of barrel making, and savor farm-to-table local cuisine.
