Some names in travel are more than just modes of transportation — they’re legends. The Orient Express, RMS Queen Mary, and Concorde each captured the spirit of their era while redefining what it meant to travel in style. But what made them rise above all others to become icons of luxury and innovation? Get ready to travel through time and relive three unforgettable voyages that changed the world.

Join New York Adventure Club as we embark on an epic journey through the fascinating stories of the Orient Express, RMS Queen Mary, and Concorde — the train, ocean liner, and aircraft that each set a new standard for glamour, speed, and sophistication in travel.

Led by historian Lucy Jane Santos, our virtual experience will include:

• A closer look at three of the most famous ways to travel — by air, sea, and rail
• An overview of what made the Orient Express, RMS Queen Mary, and Concorde enduring symbols of luxury and adventure
• How design, technology, and imagination came together to shape these iconic travel experiences
• Stories of passengers and crew members who brought each journey to life through their unique roles and experiences
• A reflection on how these legendary modes of travel continue to inspire explorers and dreamers around the globe

Afterward, we'll have a Q&A session with Lucy — any and all questions are welcomed and encouraged!
