Kensington Launches New Tour Brand Kensington Expeditions

Kensington Tours has launched a new brand, Kensington Expeditions, that focuses on blending luxury with exploratory adventure.  

The new collection includes private, custom itineraries full of exclusive experiences not available to the general public, guided by leading scientists, marine biologists, explorers, and cultural experts. From an Antarctic superyacht journey to a wilderness lodge stay in British Columbia, the trips range in accommodations and activities. Notably, the brand will also offer visits to the world’s first commercial space station when it is operational in 2026.

“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, Kensington’s head of expeditions. “We aim to provide rare access to extraordinary people, places, and knowledge, delivered through a thoughtful, fully personalized approach.”    

Here are the different trips now available through Kensington Expeditions: 

• Antarctica: This 12-day private superyacht expedition begins in Patagonia, then heads south to explore the White Continent alongside scientists and polar experts. Activities will include kayaking, submersible dives, and visits to working research stations, and guests can also expect encounters with penguin colonies, breaching whales, and historic outposts. 
• British Columbia: Guests will begin this trip with a luxury yacht experience aboard the Pacific Yellowfin, then enjoy a stay at Nimmo Bay Wilderness Lodge. They’ll encounter Kermode spirit bear, grizzlies, humpback whales, and coastal wolves, along their ecological and cultural explorations. 
• Oman: This 14-day journey spans northern and southern Oman, with accommodations at city hotels, mountain lodges, private desert camps, and a restored dhow. Guests will embark on guided walks, spend time with conservation teams, and have shared meals with locals. There will also be relaxation time at the spa and opportunities for snorkeling and coastal cruising. 
• Costa Rica: This 10-day trip includes a week aboard a private expedition yacht, plus a three-night stay at Hacienda Montezuma.
