Behind R. Crusoe & Son

Our History

Founded in 1997, R. Crusoe & Son is an immensely lucky group of people who are passionate about travel. Inspired by the fictional travelogue of Robinson Crusoe, we specialize in unusual journeys that are worth telling tales of time and time again.

Our team—everyone from our travel specialists to our destination guides—puts decades of on-the-ground knowledge into creating superb, magical moments for our travelers.

We embrace you as cherished members of our extended R. Crusoe & Son family. As we plan your time away, we ask ourselves, “What do we have in store for each and every day of your journey to make you feel special?” Because to us, that’s exactly what you are.

Travelers, by nature, want to get deep inside places, go behind the scenes, wander into places not often open to just anyone, meet fascinating local people, come home with good stories that are actually true. (And that their friends haven’t already heard.)

In-Country Partners & Guides

R. Crusoe & Son partners with the most trusted and knowledgeable on-the-ground guides and local experts to provide personalized, authentic travel experiences. Our carefully selected partners share our commitment to exceptional service and local insight, ensuring that every journey is not only seamless but also deeply immersive, allowing travelers to connect with the heart of each destination.

Accommodations

Group Journeys

We also specialize in crafting bespoke group journeys for families and friends, ensuring that every trip is personalized to suit the group’s unique interests and dynamics. Over the years, we have developed exclusive partnerships with local organizations, such as symphonies, museums, and cultural institutions, offering private access, behind-the-scenes experiences, and curated events to make each journey even more memorable and enriching.
