Splurge on that special someone with one of Pelorus’ life-changing experiences. Memories are priceless and last a lifetime, so gift your loved ones something even the most discerning relative will approve of.

Pelorus and Oceansky Cruises - North Pole Airship Expedition

For something seriously unique, join Pelorus and OceanSky Cruises in an expedition that brings a whole new perspective to the North Pole. Be one of just a handful of people to step off your privatised, all-new airship to find yourself quite literally on top of the world.

Your journey starts in the most northern city on the planet, Longyearbyen in Svalbard, where you will board the airship. Fly north towards the pole on a unique route as you search for wildlife (think polar bears and whales). With the ability to fly low and slow, the big panoramic windows and sections of glass floor will create a flying experience like no other. Sip on cocktails and enjoy a fine dining experience in a setting unlike any other while floating over icebergs.

Wake up in the North Pole and enjoy a morning of activities in one of the most remote places on earth. From snowmobiling and skiing to Arctic safaris and zodiac sailing, there’s so much to entertain. Enjoy a lunch out on the snow (there isn’t any land here so you will actually be walking on continental ice) before starting your panoramic journey back over the arctic landscape.

Antarctica - heli-skiing and forgotten wrecks

Considered by many as the most inaccessible place on Earth, you can now be among the select few to discover Antarctica by yacht charter with this life-changing experience. Pelorus is pioneering heli-skiing, allowing you to reach to the untouched peaks of the Antarctic peninsula. With two helicopters at your disposal you’ll be able to ski further inland than ever before, being dropped off at one summit before being flown on to the next. Securing the best ice pilots, expedition leaders and equipment fit for the harshest of climates – every detail is taken care of to ensure that your heli-skiing adventure goes as smoothly as the slopes themselves.

But this life-changing experience on the seventh continent doesn’t stop at skiing. Explore the peninsula via kayak or ice climbing, or explore an Antarctic shipwreck with a support vessel of scientists and submarines accompanying you. For an opportunity of a lifetime, dive and see the 300-year-old shipwreck from within a submersible.

World whisky tour by private jet

Traverse the globe by private jet on a world whisky tour tailored to your tastes. Begin your journey in the comfort of your jet, with mini samples on board to warm up your taste buds. Then it’s on to Japan, the United States, Ireland and Scotland where you’ll enjoy some of the rarest whiskies and bourbons created, all whilst staying in complete luxury.

Experience the uniqueness of each culture: Discover the birthplace of bourbon in Kentucky, the exclusivity of whisky making in Japan, and end your tour in the heart of Scotland as you sharpen your tasting skills along the way.

But it’s not just about the samples. You’ll go behind the scenes, touring private distilleries, assisting in filling rare casks, and viewing vault collections that are off-limits to the public. Enjoy unique food and whisky pairings whilst learning from the makers about the process behind the creation.

Completely bespoke to you, this experience can combine any activity to enrich your experience, as well as take you to additional countries to make for a truly special adventure.
