Travel in Style
Our Airbus A319 is ideally suited for this extraordinary expedition. Its ability to land in smaller airports affords us unmatched flexibility. Traveling by private jet allows us to fly directly and avoid layovers. Our itinerary sets the schedule, which means more time to experience the wonders of Australia. We don’t waste a moment in airport lines or waiting for baggage! The jet’s roomy interior has been customized to accommodate just 44 travelers in 2-by-2 VIP-style seats.
A Different Kind of Classroom
With two renowned members of Stanford faculty leading the way, our in-depth exploration of Australia is a one-of-a-kind educational experience.
