Next, the trip moves on to Cambodia where guests will go to the highly religious Angkor Wat.
Throughout the entire trip the Hasselblad leaders and Mr. Baker will offer a selection of Hasselblad gear, cameras and lenses. Also, tips, critiques and insights will be offered to help improve each guest’s skills and assist in their photographing of each location on the trip.
The tour is about $11,900 for a double occupancy, $3,885 for a single supplement and flights are estimated around $750.
Private trips are not a new concept for luxury brands.
For example, the private jet operator Intrav targeted ultra-affluent travelers with a bespoke planning service to personalize around-the-world tours.
Each tour accommodated 50 guests for an around-the-world journey in a luxury Boeing jet. Intrav’s inaugural tour was scheduled for April 7-May 1, 2014 and priced at $99,950 per person (see story).
