Does the very term ‘package holiday/tour’ bring out your violent side? Have you ever wanted to be on the amazing race? Do you hate planning in advance? Do you feel that yearning for adventure in the depths of your being? If you answered yes to all, then NEXPEDITION is for you! Welcome to the next generation of travel planning…

Conceptualized by American Express Travel, NEXTPEDITION is a new way to travel targeted to travel enthusiasts like yourself. Through NEXTPEDITION, American Express Travel offers consumers the exciting opportunity to take a vacation where the destination and itinerary are unknown until the actual journey begins and is revealed day by day via a customized Smartphone. The “mystery trip” is customized to reflect the traveler’s personality traits, providing an opportunity for him or her to explore the world in an unexpected and intuitive way.

The NEXTPEDITION adventure begins at www.nextpedition.com where you take an interactive online quiz called a Travel Profiler to determine your Travel Sign. By answering questions about hobbies, interests and social media habits 20 distinct signs indicate what type of adventure might be best suited. You must then consult with a specially trained American Express NEXTPEDITION Specialist who will create a mystery itinerary based on your Travel Sign. NEXTPEDITION Specialists are experienced American Express Travel Counselors selected and trained to take information generated from the Travel Profiler and blend it with budget preferences, personal interests and past travel history to develop and customize an itinerary.

A specially programmed, on loan ‘Travel Console’ will arrive at your home a few days before departure. The device communicates the itinerary, Lonely Planet guidebook content, restaurant recommendations, and other helpful travel tools. The Travel Console also allows travelers to share the details of their experience on Facebook through a personalized travel log. NEXTPEDITION offers both domestic and international itineraries in a variety of price points, for solo or group travel.
