What's the news?
So, you're stinking rich. Congratulations. Now what do you do? You've got the 12-bedroom mansion. You've bought all the Rolexes. You've got the 80-inch plasma screen. Now what about a holiday? No schlepping off to the costa on a Ryanair redeye for you. Oh no. Land Rover, working closely with luxury travel experts Abercrombie and Kent, has developed a once-in-a-lifetime experience which involves you driving a new Range Rover SVAutobiography through eight countries and five continents.
For the princely (literally) sum of €150,000 per person sharing (based on two guests, natch), the well-heeled travellers will start by driving a 550hp V8 Supercharged Range Rover SVAutobiography (Land Rover's most luxurious car ever; basically more wood, leather and chrome than you can shake a monogrammed stick at) from Monaco down the Italian coast to Portofino and on to Lake Como, where they'll stay at the gorgeous Villa D'Este and the San Lorenzo Mountain Lodge. Helicopter rides up the Dolomites and Michelin-star food all round? But of course.
That sounds nice, but it's just the beginning. You're off then to Morocco, to experience the desert terrain of Ouarzazate before climbing up the Atlas Mountains to stay at the Kasbah Tamadot, owned by Range Rover-owning bear-enthusiast Richard Branson.
Still not enough? You'll then be whisked to the 600-acre Amangiri Resort in Utah, to see the amazing Escalante National Monument (known as The Grand Staircase), go hiking in Antelope canyon and have dinner under the stars.
But wait, you're not done yet. Now you're off to Chile, to drive across the Atacama Desert, staying at the exclusive Awasi hotel before driving out to the Alamo observatory, home of one of the most powerful astronomy telescopes in the world.
Exhausted? Well, there's just one round of travel left - you're off to Sydney, Australia, for a climb up the Harbour Bridge and a tour of the Opera House. Then you'll hop across to Tasmania for some amazing jungle-track driving and a stay at stay at Saffire Freycinet, where they experience a breakfast like no other - standing knee deep in an estuary enjoying fresh oysters and local sparkling wine.
Mark Cameron, Land Rover Experiential Marketing Director, at Jaguar Land Rover said: "We set out to design a trip worthy of the ultimate luxury SUV and thanks to our partners at Abercrombie & Kent we have achieved just that. From Europe to Australia, this trip is all about the epitome of luxury but done so in a Land Rover way - the unexpected, the off-the-beaten-track and the once-in-a-lifetime experiences. This itinerary represents the definitive drive adventure, achieved in the definitive vehicle."
Simon Lynch, Director of Business Development, Abercrombie & Kent, adds: "A&K are delighted to be partnering with Land Rover on offering this, the most ultimate of driving journeys. Our love of adventure, combined with exploration and luxury for over 50 years, gave us the inspiration for this expedition, which is packed full of unforgettable experiences. Our pioneering customers will explore landscapes, see wildlife and meet communities well and truly off the beaten track."
There's just one drawback. You don't get to keep the Range Rover at the end of all this...
