Luxury Family Vacations

Luxury Family Vacations designed with unrivaled creativity

In a world full of off-the-shelf family itineraries, Pelorus thinks differently.

The family holidays that stay with you aren't the ones with the best hotels. They're the ones where something happened that was built specifically for you. A scientist who joined the trip because your daughter loves marine biology. A private survival guide in the Highlands because your son admires Bear Grylls. An astronomer aboard a private yacht in the Pacific, because your eight-year-old wants to learn the secrets of the sky. Pelorus designs each luxury family travel experience drawing on in-house access across land, sea and air, designed around your children’s ages, interests and what they are curious about right now.

Why Choose Pelorus for Your Luxury Family Vacation?

Pelorus designs luxury family holidays around the whole family, and the children are part of the planning process. Our Travel and Yacht designers work directly with parents and kids alike, building experiences around what your children are curious about right now, including what they are studying at school. For a family with teenage daughters passionate about wild dogs, we arranged a biologist who had spent years researching endangered African wild dogs, to join them in the field. The girls spent a day tracking the pack, learning to read their behaviors and understand conservation efforts to protect them.

Off the coast of Antarctica, a family joined a group of scientists aboard a supporting expedition yacht, studying penguin colonies and participating in whale tagging research. Their 11-year-old son, who had a passion for wildlife, spent the day out on the water with the science team participating in crucial research.

Introducing


Pelorus Junior

Adventure hosts for young explorers.

Your dedicated host works alongside your travel designer to build a shadow itinerary running parallel to yours, shaped around your children's ages, energy levels and interests. When you're diving in Mozambique, your children are on the water too, tagging dolphins with marine researchers. While you explore monasteries in Bhutan, they're sitting with local children learning how life looks on the other side of the world.

Our Award-Winning Family Travel Team

To craft your luxury family vacation, you will work with our team of expert yachting and travel designers. Their creativity and innovative approach is award-winning. Pelorus was recently named among the Top 10 Travel Specialists by Conde Nast Traveler.

We created a unique adventure for a family celebrating their son’s birthday, inspired by his passion for nature and admiration for Bear Grylls. We designed a bespoke birthday experience totally around this in the remote Scottish Highlands, where he could learn how to become a true explorer with a private survival guide teaching them the basic skills”

The Ultimate Luxury Family Travel Experience

Our expertise spans land, sea and air.

Most luxury family travel experiences only scratch the surface. Pelorus exists to take you further. Across land, sea and air, we design extraordinary luxury family vacations: tracking whale migrations in Antarctica with scientists aboard an expedition yacht, an immersive treasure hunt through Costa Rica’s rainforests, heli-skiing the untouched peaks of British Columbia.

Each trip is built around you and your family.

Why Pelorus

Pelorus Family Travel Frequently Asked Questions

We know that no family is the same, which is why no family holiday we create is ever the same. Whether you are looking for soft adventure for young children, high-octane exploration trips that captivate teenagers, or immersive multi-generational family journeys filled with culture, we create hyper-personalized experiences for the whole family.

We place the entire family - parents and kids alike - at the heart of the planning process. Our expert travel designers work with both you and your kids to dream up incredible experiences personalized to your passions, kids imaginations, and even what they are learning at school.

Large groups bring competing priorities, and that's exactly where we thrive. From multigenerational families to groups of friends with very different ideas of a perfect day, we've planned itineraries that hold together across different ages, energy levels, and expectations. Pelorus Junior runs in parallel, giving younger travelers their own moments, whether that's a slower morning on the beach or a private wildlife encounter that happens to eclipse everything the adults did that day.

Some moments in life deserve more than a celebration - they call for an unforgettable adventure. Whether marking a milestone or gathering loved ones, Pelorus ensures your experience is extraordinary. Whatever the occasion or group size, we can help you experience the world in style as it was meant to be explored: together. We can turn birthdays and milestone celebrations into unforgettable journeys; celebrate with a private heli-ski adventure on untouched powder, enjoy a chef-hosted dinner set in a spectacular open-air location, or mark the moment aboard your private yacht as you explore hidden bays and remote coastlines.

We understand that where you will be staying is also an important deciding factor. Whether that be a luxury mobile camp, or a private yacht, our team of experts will help you to find the best accommodation to suit your family.

Yes, your personal travel designer is with you from your first call to the moment you return, and everything in between, ensuring your family vacation is everything you wanted and more.

For large groups, private aviation often makes more financial sense than it appears, consolidated costs, no last-minute rebooking fees, and no coordinating fifteen people through departures. Pelorus Aviation handles routing, scheduling, and ground transfers end to end, so the journey runs on your timeline rather than an airline's. Private travel also brings a level of security and privacy that commercial flights can't offer, your group, your aircraft, your terms. The trip starts the moment you leave home.
