A ll of us at Andrew Harper strive to create travel experiences that will be cherished
long after you’ve returned home, beginning with the thoughtful planning that
ensures the destination and accommodations meet and exceed all of your wishes.
Of the 1,000+ Harper-recommended hotels, inns and resorts worldwide, along with carefully
selected villa, yacht, cruise and tour partners, most partner with us each year, providing special
recognition and benefits for the Harper guests, such as preferred rates, room upgrades,
complimentary breakfasts, spa and resort credits and more. The value of benefits realized
during one stay* can easily offset the cost of your subscription!
The following pages showcase the Harper benefits, partner highlights and travel-planning
information provided by more than 400 of these partners. All partners, current at time of
printing, are listed on the map pages located at the beginning of each section.
*Based on double occupancy and stays of two nights or longer. Exact benefits, values and savings vary by property and partner.

ENCHANTING CITIES OF CENTRAL EUROPE
BY PRIVATE JETMay 18-29, 2015
Traveling by VIP private jet is a true luxury. The incredible comfort aside — a 40-passenger plane has been reconfigured for 14 — a private jet offers flexibility and a travel experi-ence like no other. From Tallinn, Estonia, you will make a memorable stop at the ancient Hanseatic city of Riga, Latvia. A longer stay in the beautiful city of Krakow, Poland, allows you to easily fly to Bratislava, Slovakia, to see the historic city center surrounded by hilltop castles in the countryside.
THE SPLENDORS OF
SOUTHERN AFRICAAug. 28–Sept. 9, 2015
South Africa is deservedly renowned for its majestic scen-ery, abundant wildlife and rich culture. Botswana is famous for its spectacular and pristine Okavango Delta, which offers an enthralling and diverse safari experience.
We are also offering a Namibia pre-extension available Aug. 22-28. Namibia is a vast, sparsely populated land of astounding scenic splendor. The Namib Desert is dominated by forbidding mountains, monumental rock formations and towering red sand dunes. Namibia offers remarkable game-viewing, and here also is where you find the Himba, a colorful and strikingly traditional tribal people.
REMARKABLE JOURNEY TO
AUSTRALIA BY PRIVATE JET
Oct. 19–Nov. 1, 2015
Australia is unique in many ways, above all else in its combination of modernity and style with light and space. With so much to offer, Australia has seen a number of representations emerge over the decades, giving a certain typecasting to parts of Australia. Now is the time to add to existing imagery and challenge the romantic, rustic notions of many varied parts of Australia. Tasmania, Kangaroo Island and the Great Barrier Reef are only some of the highlights on this tour.
