Voyages of Imagination & Occasion
Some journeys deserve their own story. At Gilded Legacy Voyages of Distinction, we believe travel should be inspiring and personal. Our themed and special event journeys—by land or sea—are tailored to your passions and milestones. From exploring Virgin River filming locations to tracing the 2026 solar eclipse’s path from an exclusive vantage point, we create transformative experiences.
Envision a grand prix weekend in Monaco, paired with a luxurious sailing from Rome to Barcelona, or a wine and literature journey through the Loire Valley. Whether it's pop culture, celestial events, art, or a unique celebration, we bring it to life with elegance and authenticity.
Every itinerary is bespoke—from inspiration to the final toast.
Custom Itinerary Design Fee: Each journey’s detailed itinerary is handcrafted and quality vetted with the most highly reviewed suppliers, necessitating a non-refundable curation fee of $100 to begin the design process, reflecting the expertise and detail committed to your vision. Itineraries from 2-8 days will be provided. There will be an additional $25 fee per day added. Let’s craft something unforgettable. ✨
Featured Bespoke Adventures
San Juan & the Virgin Islands
Unpack Once. Indulge Always. Discover the British Virgin Islands and Beyond in Windstar Style. Step aboard your luxurious Windstar yacht in historic Old San Juan, where cobblestone streets and Spanish colonial charm set the tone for an unforgettable journey. Sail through the sparkling Caribbean, with a special focus on the breathtaking British Virgin Islands—think white-sand beaches, turquoise coves, and a pace of life that invites you to linger.
One day you’ll snorkel in hidden bays known only to seasoned sailors; the next, you’ll browse chic French boutiques or explore volcanic landscapes in secluded Montserrat. While larger ships dock far from the action, Windstar anchors close to the heart of each destination—including tiny, idyllic Jost Van Dyke—so you're always just steps from the experience.
And to make your journey seamless from beginning to end, we’ll curate a bespoke pre- or post-cruise escape tailored entirely to you.
Multiple sailings from October, 2025 - January, 2027 available.
