By: Destination Club News
Date: April 26, 2010
Fresh off adding ten new Las Vegas properties to their ever expanding portfolio of residences, Exclusive Resorts has introduced the destinations for their popular 2011 Once in a Lifetime program. These member only journeys include cruises, adventure expeditions, and vacations that have taken travelers from wildlife reserves to the untouched world of Antarctica and everywhere in between.
The 2011 roster of Once in a Lifetime events doesn't disappoint, including eight experiences at some of the most unique locales the world has to offer, including:
- Tanzania: Ngorongoro, the Serengeti, and Lupita Island
- Galapagos: Family Expedition
- British Isles & Ireland: Naturalist & Golf Voyage at Sea
- Mediterranean Cruise: Istanbul to Athens
- California Wine Country: Bicycling, Hiking & Wine Tasting
- Fiji: Wakaya Club & Spa
- French Countryside: Authentic Villa Escapes
- Patagonia: Authentic Andean Villa Retreats
"Our priority with every Once in a Lifetime experience is to make it as stress-free and convenient as vacations in our core destinations, so that each year members have a new set of places to visit with the club. It seems to be working!" writes the club. "Since the start of the program, more than 2,000 members and their guests have taken or booked trips to more than 30 countries on all seven continents, including experiences in Bhutan, Antarctica, Kenya, Argentina, and Australia, as well as our phenomenally popular members-only cruises in the Mediterranean."
In the coming weeks, Exclusive Resorts will begin releasing the new experiences through their Residence Allocation System, beginning with the Tanzanian safari through Ngorongoro, the Serengeti, and Lupita Island, scheduled for release on May 19. Soon thereafter, the experiences in the Mediterranean, British Isles, and Patagonia will become available to members.
Additional travel benefits such as Exclusive Resorts' Once in a Lifetime program have become increasingly popular in recent years and many of the destination club industry's leading clubs have similar options. The Abercrombie & Kent Residence Club allows members the ability to exchange a portion of their annual nights for stays in luxury European hotels or journeys through Abercrombie & Kent, spanning over 100 countries. Quintess, The Leading Residences of the World created their Q Leading Experiences program for members to "journey to far off lands, see the world's wonders, and create inimitable vacations and timeless moments."
