Kensington Tours Custom Private Guided Touring & Luxury Yacht Charters Guide
- Luxury Yacht & Land Specialists

Through their celebrated bespoke land extensions and the dedicated Kensington Yacht division, they transform an ordinary cruise vacation into a transcendent multi-dimensional journey—pairing private crewed superyacht charters, clifftop luxury villas, private chauffeur transfers in executive Mercedes vehicles, and white-glove 24/7 destination concierge care.

When you arrive in a departure port like Rome (Civitavecchia), Barcelona, Athens (Piraeus), or Miami, standard cruise packages herd passengers onto 50-person buses for rushed panoramic drives. Kensington Tours designs an entirely different dimension of travel:
- Private Chauffeur & VIP Fast-Track: From the moment your flight touches down, a Kensington airport coordinator meets you at the arrival gate, escorts you through expedited customs, and whisks you away in a private executive Mercedes vehicle.
- Privileged After-Hours Access: Tour the Vatican Museums or the Colosseum in Rome after closing time, accompanied by a world-renowned art historian without another tourist in sight.
- Seamless Port Embarkation: On cruise departure day, your private chauffeur delivers you directly to the cruise terminal gangway at the exact hour you choose, handling all luggage transfers smoothly.
Kensington Yacht: The Pinnacle of Private Marine Charters
For travelers seeking ultimate privacy on the water, the Kensington Yacht division offers private crewed charters aboard luxury catamarans, motor yachts, and mega-yachts ranging from 50 feet to over 200 feet:
What Distinguishes a Kensington Yacht Charter?
- Dedicated Professional Crew: Every yacht charter features an experienced licensed captain, an executive private chef preparing custom gourmet menus tailored to your dietary preferences, and attentive deckhands and stewardesses.
- Curated Water Toys: Explore secluded bays and reefs with onboard equipment including SeaBobs, e-foils, paddleboards, jet skis, and scuba gear.
- Custom Cruising Itineraries: You dictate the voyage. Spend the night anchored in an uninhabited cove under the stars, or dock in the glamorous marinas of Saint-Tropez, Monaco, or Gustavia (St. Barts).
Grand "Land + Sea" Curated Combinations
One of Kensington Tours' greatest strengths is the ability to harmonize disparate luxury elements into one unified, stress-free vacation:
- African Safari + Ocean Cruise: Spend 4 nights at a premier luxury tented camp in the Serengeti or Kruger National Park watching the Big Five, followed by private air transfer to Cape Town for a luxury coastal cruise.
- Tuscany Wine Estates + Superyacht Sailing: Enjoy private sommelier-led tastings in Brunello di Montalcino, followed by a week sailing the turquoise waters between Corsica and Sardinia.
