Private small group journeys

Hand-crafted luxury journeys

Why travel as a private group?

Tailor-made travel is at the heart of what we do, yet some journeys are better shared. A private group allows families, friends or invited guests to experience places and people rarely opened to a single traveller, with the same privacy, comfort and personal service. Where it adds to the journey, we invite a historian, a naturalist or an artist to travel with you.


Built entirely around you

Travel only with the people you choose, on the dates you choose, at the pace you choose, with your own private guide. Start from one of our journey ideas or from a blank page; your travel designer will shape every day with you.

Start planning your journey

A Parallels and Meridians journey is more than a booking. It is designed around your interests and those of everyone travelling with you.

To create the right experience, we first need to know you: who is travelling, what you enjoy, what you would rather avoid, and what would make this journey exceptional.

Every proposal is checked for availability, timing, privacy and security before it reaches you, so that what we suggest is what will happen.

Exceptional journeys can take weeks or months to arrange. Our terms and conditions are shared with your first proposal.

Design your private group journey

Tell us where you would like to go, when, and with whom. We will return with a first proposal and refine it with you until it is right.
