This episode of Karryon's podcast Luxury Unpacked, host Fiona Dalton takes flight with Bas Boschietter from Captain's Choice, to explore the compelling rise of luxury private jet journeys — and why Australians, in particular, have embraced this exclusive mode of travel. We’ll dive into the extraordinary legacy of Captain’s Choice, a pioneering brand that helped shape the private jet touring category globally.

Together, we’ll unpack what makes this form of travel so appealing, who else is playing in the space, and how luxury jet journeys are evolving to meet the expectations of today’s most discerning explorers.

In this episode of Karryon Podcast's Luxury Unpacked with Fiona Dalton, we sail into the ultra-luxury world of The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection with Seb Seward, Vice President and GM for Asia Pacific.

As the brand brings its legendary hospitality to the seas — and to Australia — we unpack what makes this yachting experience so different from traditional luxury cruising.

From the evolution of Evrima to the debut of Ilma and Luminara, we explore the strategy, the guest experience, and the brand’s vision for this region. This is more than a new way to cruise — it’s yachting redefined for a new generation of luxury travellers.
