By Aysia Reed

Marriott International and Quintessentially have collaborated to create luxury road trips for travelers that are ready to up their game!

Nine different trips are available on these new itineraries, all with immersive experiences that are devoted to embellishing the lifestyle of travelers and to provide meaningful memories that will last a lifetime.

Each destination on the itinerary is promised a chic Marriott estate, a high-end cuisine experience, and astonishing views.

The estates include The Ritz-Carlton, The Luxury Collection, St. Regis Hotels & Resorts, EDITION, and more to equip guests with the most ultimate trip.

Curating Unique Experiences

Quintessentially has specialized in curating the unique experiences for each of the locations. Quintessentially is the world’s leading luxury lifestyle group, so a trip organized by the company will be nothing short of extravagant.

The package’s locations range from the United States to countries in Europe.

Marriott International’s joining forces with Quintessentially was a result of a change of tendencies of travelers wanting to be safe,  and follow health guidelines. Road trips are the new craze and are a cautious alternative from past journeys.

One lavish experience is “The Classic” package. 

The total cost for the six-night experience, is $14,245 for 2 adults.

The nights are spent at St. Regis in San Francisco, two are spent at the Ritz- Carlton Bacara in Santa Barbara, and the last two are spent at the Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel.

The car hire is a Ford Mustang Convertible, or a plus Valet parking at all hotels.

Seaplanes in San Francisco

In San Francisco, guests are able to sail by sunset or enjoy an evening seaplane ride. In Santa Barbara, cycle the overlook accompanied by a professional biker.

Exploring the Channel Islands is a prime highlight of The Classic package.

A wildlife expert guides a tour of the sea caves, otherwise known as “‘The Galapagos of North America.”

For a thrilling experience, guests can catch a wave at Laguna Niguel. A professional instructor gives surf sessions right off the coast of California’s waters.

For a more riveting trip, try “The Classic Italy” package.

This package is a bit more pricey at $25,965 for two adults, for a six-night experience. Two nights are spent at The Gritti Palace, a Luxury Collection Hotel in Venice, two nights are at St. Regis in Florence, and the last two will be spent at St. Regis, Rome.

For car hire, an impressive Rolls Royce Dawn will be the vehicle, and Valet parking at every hotel.

Doge’s Palace Tour

An exclusive guided tour of Venice gives travelers an up-close experience of the  Doge’s Palace and St. Mark’s Cathedral. Finish off the tour with a relaxing glass of Italian wine.

To experience Florence after hours, take a cruise along the River Arno.

By boat, you will coast along the river and underneath Florentine bridges, while taking in the city’s rich history. Florentine specialties will also be aboard to provide for classic Italian cuisine.

The Sistine Chapel is often crowded by Vatican crowds- but with the Classic Italy package, you are graced with a private morning tour of the chapel.
