Moonwalking or hiking at the South Pole: these are the crazy destinations of the super-rich

The super rich like to treat themselves to trips to places normal people would never go. Whether it’s a journey through space or a walk at the South Pole.

The super rich sometimes pay millions for such trips. Blick shows the craziest destinations.

The extraordinary journey to the depths of the Atlantic brings dangers. The search for the missing tourist submarine in the Atlantic Ocean is in full swing. There’s still no trace.

The legendary wreck of the Titanic lies 3800 meters below sea level. The cruise ship sank in 1912 en route from Southampton (UK) to New York (USA). On the expeditions of the Oceangate company, which includes the missing submarine “Titan”, usually three guests are accompanied by two crew members.

First, you’ll board a mothership to the Titanic crash site, 340 miles southeast of Newfoundland. Then the descent to the wreck begins. This usually takes two hours. The trip costs up to $250,000 per person. Since the disappearance of the “Titan”, numerous media have reported technical defects in the boat’s construction.

An adventurous trip to the South Pole is also popular with the wealthiest. Getting there is neither cheap nor easy. The 23-day tours of the provider “Silversea” offer luxury camping in the ice. In addition to glacier walks, the program also includes a mission to see the penguins. Cost: About $100,000 per person.

Of course, for the wife of an American billionaire, this trip was too expensive. But she still wanted to see penguins. No problem if you have the means. Her husband borrowed three penguins from a zoo in San Diego (USA) – the woman later found them in her luxury suite.

In the Peruvian “Skylodge”, tourists sleep in transparent capsules that float at dizzying heights. A challenging via ferrata leads to the huts, where a well-equipped environment awaits the customers.

The extraordinary hotel offers views of spectacular sunrises and sunsets. To exit the property, guests must return to the valley via multiple ziplines. A night on an all-inclusive offer can quickly cost a four-figure sum.

Look down at Earth in zero gravity – two US companies (“Blue Origin” and “Virgin Galactic”) offer this experience. The spaceship takes you into space. Wealthy tourists have to pay up to $ 450,000 for such a trip.

SpaceX founder Elon Musk (51) has also decided to take people to the moon and later even to Mars. During the lunar mission, lay astronauts should even be able to take a spacewalk.

Luxury tourists seem to be increasingly striving for total isolation. The goals of the super rich include visiting private islands. Catherine Heald, the general manager and co-founder of the luxury travel provider “Remote Lands,” told “CNN Travel” about the desires for remote travel.

She refers to a trip to Russia’s Lake Baikal, where wealthy people can travel by helicopter to an island in the largest and deepest freshwater lake in the world. Then a private jet will take you back to the five-star hotel in the Mongolian city of Ulan Bator. (A)
