What it takes to vanish: $45,000
Smithsonian Journeys is offering a private jet trip to some pockets of “vanishing cultures.” Price tag: almost $45,000.
“Tracing a legendary journey to the most fascinating different peoples and pockets of cultural diversity in some of the world’s most splendidly isolated places takes time, inside access and imagination,” says the company.
The three-week adventure aboard a custom-designed Boeing 757 outfitted for a maximum of 88 guests will journey to parts of Asia, Oceania and Africa. A private chef and expedition physician will be alone.
Stops will include a look at the 40,000-year-old Aboriginal oral and music traditions in Australia; one of the last of the world’s frontiers in Oceania’s Papua New Guinea; and two days in Africa’s oldest independent country, Ethiopia.
Smithsonian Journeys is the travel program of the Smithsonian Institution, the largest museum-based travel program in the world.
