Start-up Kontiki Expeditions will launch maiden voyages this fall. A new concept in luxury ocean vacations focused on conscious travel and immersive experiences, the first two itineraries will travel along the Ecuadorian coast. A fundamental part of the experience is supporting the communities visited.
The first ship is scheduled to sail in December; the luxury boutique yachts only have nine staterooms each and can visit smaller ports. Ten crew members and two local experts, including wellness professionals, naturalist guides and a local chef, add to the experience. In addition to the staterooms, the 128-foot-long yachts feature a sundeck, a gourmet salon, two outdoor lounges, a bar, Jacuzzi and a fitness area.
Pricing begins at $7,245 per person per week, based on double occupancy, and includes all activities, meals, transfers to and from ports, park entrances, guided expeditions and more.

May 28, 2025Williamsburg Inn Review

This is where you check in for traditional luxury without feeling like you’re trapped in a time capsule. The Queen stayed here (twice), and so did Eisenhower, but you’re not here to make history. You’re here to enjoy it, on your own terms.
