Kensington has introduced Kensington Expeditions, combining luxury comfort with high-adventure experiences across land, sea, air and even space.

“Kensington Expeditions was born out of conversations with our clients who were seeking more meaningful, hands-on experiences while maintaining the highest standards of service, privacy, and comfort,” said Neal Bateman, Head of Expeditions, in a press statement. “We aim to provide rare access to extraordinary people, places, and knowledge, delivered through a thoughtful, fully personalized approach.” —

Next-Generation Travel by Kensington

Among the most forward-looking offerings are curated visits to next-generation space stations, part of the world’s first commercial space station currently in development. These space-based experiences, expected to launch in May 2026, will expand Kensington’s portfolio of distinctive travel experiences.

The expeditions feature private, custom-designed itineraries guided by scientists, marine biologists, explorers and cultural specialists. Each journey incorporates conservation activities and scientific engagement alongside exclusive cultural experiences that aren’t available to general tourists.

A sample Antarctica expedition includes 12 days aboard a private superyacht, starting in Patagonia before exploring the White Continent with scientists and polar experts. Activities include kayaking, submersible dives and research station visits.

Other offerings include a visit to British Columbia’s Great Bear Rainforest, which combines yacht experiences with wilderness lodge stays; a 14-day Oman cultural exploration; a 10-day Costa Rica expedition aboard a private yacht; and Chasing the Horizons, a 34-day private jet journey that follows the equator around the world.

Your clients will receive personalized expedition gear such as monogrammed dive equipment or custom 3D star maps. Transportation options include private yachts, jets, exclusive lodges, custom camps and full concierge service.

Kensington operates in over 120 countries with a team of Destination Experts who bring detailed local knowledge to each itinerary. The brand has expanded to include Kensington Concierge, Kensington Cruises, Kensington Villas (offering over 1,000 private villas), and Kensington Yachts, a charter brokerage that connects yacht and land experiences.
