The World Travel Leader

We travel the world by private jet.

For more than 20 years, we have provided the experience of a lifetime for our guests. What makes world travel with TCS and Starquest special? We provide the ultimate in service, comfort and convenience by flying direct and landing as close to our destinations as possible. We stay at some of the best hotels and resorts in the world. We provide insider access to the most iconic places on the planet, all while showing you the hidden gems. Many of the world’s foremost experts travel with us to share their knowledge, and local guides provide invaluable information on our destinations. We are not the average travel tour company—your journey with us will be highly personalized and unique—and completely unforgettable.

Our History

Founded in 1991, TCS Expeditions was the first private jet expedition company to travel the world. In 2003, the same team formed Starquest Expeditions to further develop premium travel with an educational focus. The companies merged to become TCS and Starquest Expeditions when they were acquired by one of the world’s largest and most successful travel companies, TUI Travel Group. To date, we have operated over 200 expeditions to more than 150 destinations, making us the world leader in private jet travel.

Our Partners

We work with some of the world’s most distinguished universities, museums and cultural organizations—National Geographic, the Smithsonian Institution, Harvard Museum of Natural History and more. In fact, these organizations provide many of our experts and lecturers who accompany our trips and provide insights on the people and places we visit when we travel the world.

What to Expect

Our expeditions are moderately active, feature multiple destinations and are usually two to three weeks long. We have the industry’s most experienced and professional staff, including a physician and a chef, as well as guest lecturers accompanying us on every expedition. At each stop, local guides enhance our experience, and we offer many options, so travelers can customize the trip to fit their interests.
