For those who have the time and inclination, an around-the-world trip could be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. "You travel in as carefree a manner as possible. We take care of everything." says Martha Wharton, VP of Marketing for TCS Expeditions. "Trip participants also enjoy special experiences they might not have otherwise. In Egypt, for example, TCS customers are treated to a private dinner in front of the Great Pyramid as well as private, after-hours access to the Solar Boat Museum and Egyptian Museum in Cairo." Here are some extraordinary around-the-world excursions.
