Travelling Places
Captain’s Choice has been setting the agenda in luxury travel since 1994 – they are almost twins with Travelling Places as we were established in 1993!
As a family-owned Australian company, they take an uncompromising approach to researching, curating and implementing their unique journeys.
Welcome to a world where every day is an exploration of the unique, where wishes present themselves in twos and threes, where we collect stories as often as we collect photos, where tasting and hearing is as important as seeing and where gracious living and adventure happen side by side.
The Kangaroo Route was made famous by Qantas last century and describes the commercial passenger air routes flown between Australia and the United Kingdom via the Eastern Hemisphere.
The route has been operated since the 1930s but earned its legendary moniker in the 1940s as a descriptor for the “hops” that were reminiscent of a kangaroo’s, covering long distances.
Captain’s Choice will follow an almost identical flight path as the one Qantas first wholly operated in 1947. At that time, the route from Sydney to London took four days and seven stops to complete, with just 29 passengers aboard a Lockheed Constellation aircraft. In true Captain’s Choice style, however, the journey has been reimagined with exceptional sightseeing, exclusive experiences and stays in refined residences.
This extraordinary journey following the Kangaroo Route of yesteryear will replicate how previous generations travelled to the other side of the world in style and comfort.
Taking this journey, you will experience exotic destinations along the way. I recall taking a similar flight as a child to England to visit grandparents – from recollection it took over 36 hours and people still smoked on the plane!
As you can imagine today’s experience recreates this wonderful itinerary and lingers in places to explore along the way.
Captain’s Choice will pamper you with fabulous inclusions, gorgeous hotels and fascinating explorations. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity … this trip will not be repeated any time soon!
Apart from this wonderful Kangaroo Route itinerary Captain’s Choice offer some wonderful ways to explore both close to home and further afield.
The Silk Road; an outback weekend; a super car self-drive journey through Europe; Latin America by private jet …. the offerings are broad and fascinating.
Travelling Places is proud to partner with Captain’s Choice to offer you their extraordinary travel explorations.
