Sometimes you’re traveling on a budget. Other times, you’re capable of investing in your travel experiences in order to see the best of the best. If you’re not quite at luxury travel levels yet, here are some travel experiences you may want to remember for when you’ve saved up some more.

Swim With Humpback Whales Beneath the Midnight Sun in Iceland

If you want to have a rare, awe-inspiring, once-in-a-lifetime animal encounter, this might be what you’re looking for. Put on a dry suit, boat out onto an Icelandic fjord in summer at midnight when the sun is still blazing, and spend two hours swimming with a pod of migrating humpback whales. In case it overwhelms you, you can relax afterward with a thermal bath. All for just $10,733 per person.

Take a Luxury Cruise to Antarctica

For people who set out to visit every continent, Antarctica is usually the trickiest one. But not when you can splurge on a $12,995 luxury cruise that will show you towering icebergs, massive glaciers, and rare wildlife over the course of 10 days. You’ll also get to learn about climate change from leading scientists while seeing its results up close. Not to mention a stop by Buenos Aires for a two-day excursion.
