Luxury Travel Around the Globe Can Be Affordable

Everyone assumes luxury travel is out of reach — until Captain Joe Sacchetti breaks down the math. In this Newtown Edgmont Friends & Neighbors feature, the Highroads Traveler founder and small-group travel expert makes the case that a five-star trip to Tuscany, Provence, or the Adriatic Coast can cost about the same as a week down the shore, if you know how to structure it. The secret isn't cutting corners. It's cutting the bill five or six ways, by traveling with a hand-picked group of friends and family instead of going it alone or joining a massive tour bus crowd.
