Ultreia Travel 404.973.2736 | [email protected] Historically, "Ultreia" is the word pilgrims use to greet each other and show encouragement along "the Way."

In August 1998, I embarked upon an incredible, life-changing journey - El Camino de Santiago - a pilgrimage route ending in Santiago de Compostela, Spain. After five weeks, I had walked 500-miles across the French Pyrenees, through the vineyards of the Rioja region and into the stunningly green landscape of Galicia. Though the origin of the word is somewhat unclear, the meaning is widely accepted as "Onward" or "Go Beyond."

Clients always ask us when to visit Norway. It’s a trick question.

Summer: the midnight sun, fjords carved a mile deep, and the Lofoten Islands, where red fishing cabins face beaches that look borrowed from the Caribbean.

Winter: the northern lights, dog sledding through silent forests, and coastal sailings past snow-covered peaks that drop straight into the sea.

Either way, the new generation of design hotels and fjord-side lodges means you never trade comfort for scenery.

Two Norways, both worth the trip. The only hard part is choosing, and that’s a conversation we’d love to have.

The most requested amenity in Courchevel this winter? No other guests.

Le Chalet is the private residence of Airelles, set in the Jardin Alpin with ski-in, ski-out access to the slopes. It's booked exclusively, never shared, and it comes fully staffed with a private chef, butler service, and a team that handles everything down to warming your boots before first tracks.

Outside, fresh snow at the door, dog sledding, gondola rides, long lunches on the terrace. Inside, your own spa and pool, a cinema, and a fireside dinner from your chef that beats any reservation in town. The services of the legendary Airelles palace nearby come with it all.

A great Courchevel trip needs more than a lift ticket. Get in touch to start planning!

The best-kept secret in travel isn't a place. It's a season.

Paris. The city in its coat season, with museums without lines, festive windows on the boulevards, and hotel rates that reward the off-peak traveler.

Niseko, Japan. The most reliable powder snow on the planet, plus onsen soaks and world-class dining after the lifts close.

L**h, Austria. The Arlberg classic. Elegant, snow-sure, and home to some of the finest family-run hotels in the Alps.

Switzerland. St. Moritz for glamour, Zermatt for the Matterhorn, both for trains that turn the journey into the highlight.

One winter, four very different trips. Message us, and we'll match you to yours.

“Is a Nile cruise actually worth it?” We get this question constantly. Our answer: on the right boat, it might be the best hotel in Egypt. And it moves.

Historia Boutique Nile River Cruise sails between Luxor and Aswan, designed around the glamour of 1920s river travel with a fully contemporary interior. Around 40 cabins, floor-to-ceiling windows facing the water, a rooftop pool deck, and a spa on board.

The real luxury is the format. You unpack once, and the temples come to you. Karnak and the Valley of the Kings, then Edfu, Kom Ombo, and Philae, each visited with expert Egyptologist guides while the boat handles every mile in between.

Advisor tip: itineraries run three, four, or seven nights, and the direction you sail changes the pacing. We’ll help you pick the right one. Let’s start planning.

Of everything we book, this is the trip we get the most questions about. Fair, because fewer people have stayed here than climb Everest in a season.

White Desert operates the only luxury camps on the Antarctic continent. You board a private jet in Cape Town, land on a blue-ice runway about five hours later, and check into a camp of just a handful of heated pods with a private chef.

The days are unlike anything else we plan. Ice tunnels, gentle summits, ch*****ne picnics on the ice, and the option to visit a colony of thousands of emperor penguins. Some guests even continue on to the South Pole itself.

The season runs November through January, and with so few beds on the entire continent, this books out far ahead. If Antarctica is the trip, this is the way to do it. Message us to learn more!

Visiting the Argentina side of Iguazú Falls is something I will never forget. We were among the first to enter Iguazú National Park and took the first train to Devil's Throat (ask me how to make this happen for you!) Slowly the morning fog lifted from the river and we were treated to one of the most spectacular, awe-inspiring sights I've ever witnessed...with the powerful rush of the falls sending the mist high in the air. These videos and pictures do not do justice to the experience nor do I have the words to properly convey how moving it was. And to be there with no crowds...it was emotional.

From there, we explored the rest of the park under sunshine and rainbows. Experience of a lifetime... put it on your list.

What's the best way to see the Scottish Highlands? We'd argue it's from a five-star hotel that happens to move. You unpack once, and Scotland comes to you.

Belmond’s Royal Scotsman train winds past lochs, glens, and castle ruins, and the open-air deck at the back might just be the best seat in the country.

Onboard, it's tradition done right: long, formal dinners, a wh**ky ambassador talking you through tastings you'd never find on your own, and live music in the lounge car after dark.

The part nobody expects? The train has its own Dior Spa. You can book a treatment while the Highlands roll by your window.

Step off, and it gets even better, with private castle visits, distillery tours, and clay pigeon shooting on grand country estates.

Departures sell out a year out, sometimes more. If Scotland's on your list, let's talk timing.

A short flight from Buenos Aires brings you to Iguazu in Misiones, Argentina, a small finger of land in between Paraguay and Brazil. Our first day we crossed the border into Brazil (don't forget your visa and passport!) to Iguaçu National Park. Our first sight of the Falls was from the Waterfalls Trail which offers panoramic views of this magnificent site, one of the 7 Natural Wonders of the World. Standing on the platform across from the Devil's Throat, we were completely soaked. Worth it. Sound on for the videos.

We've been in Argentina for a week now and are behind on posting so get ready! Buenos Aires is a vibrant, European-feeling city with fun areas to explore. Don't miss La Boca's colorful streets, Recoleta cemetery, San Telmo food market and Palermo's cafes and boutique shopping.
