[quote=Anonymous]The WSJ had an amusing look at what vacation destinations the Succession siblings would wind up after the show ends:

To summarize:

Shiv and Tom

If there’s one city in the world to facilitate a rapprochement between Tom (Matthew Macfadyen) and Shiv (Sarah Snook), it’s Rome, ventures FitzRoy, whose London-based company plans exclusive experiences in Italy. A stay at the Bulgari Hotel (above) and a truffle-laden dinner at Pierluigi, the legendary seafood spot, might inspire romance (or at least a lusty spat) for the combative duo. But, as FitzRoy points out, nothing impresses Shiv, who the travel planner imagines would “wander in a daze” past the amazing experiences set up for them like a private viewing of the Sistine Chapel, when it’s closed to the public. “She’ll be looking at her phone instead of looking up.” From $38,000 per person, BelliniTravel.com

Roman

Roman (Kieran Culkin), the family hedonist, has been acquiring a taste for the traditional. Sebastian Lee of Latitude London, which specializes in U.K. trips for “the megawealthy, mostly New Yorkers who don’t want any publicity,” would indulge both of Roman’s sides with a weekend at Glamis Castle (above), just north of Dundee, his father Logan’s hometown. One day might involve golfing at the St. Andrews Old Course. A tailor from Savile Row’s Anderson & Sheppard would tweak the fit on tweed attire for a day of deer stalking or grouse hunting. At night: a black-tie dinner and a debauched billiard game like Strip Freda, or the Waystar Royco favorite, Boar on the Floor. From $100,000, info@latitude.london

Kendall

Ricardo Araujo, the founder and CEO of London based Ariodante Travel, whose target clients have a net worth of at least $400 million, sees an opportunity to help Kendall (Jeremy Strong) build the cultural cachet he craves. “At that level,” said Araujo, “to be respected by your peers you need way more than just money.” To that end, Araujo would plan a deep dive into the world of contemporary art with stops in London, Basel and Vienna for private tours of galleries and museums with their directors and curators, as well as studio visits with both emerging and iconic artists. In Vienna, Kendall would settle into a palace “belonging to an ancient family owning a wonderful private art collection,” after stays in the 5000-square-foot Royal Penthouse at the Corinthia London and the Art Deco Rooftop Suite at Les Trois Rois in Basel. A trip like this, notes Araujo, would take a team of ten, plus four dedicated art experts at least six months to plan and would cost “way above the $1M mark”– excluding air travel and the artwork Kendall would commission and donate to MoMA.

Connor and Willa

After his quixotic run for the presidency and flirtation with an ambassadorship, Connor (Alan Ruck) and wife Willa (Justine Lupe-Schomp) need a break. Stephanie McClendon, at San Diego-based luxury tour operator Scott Dunn, would send them to the Woodward in Geneva (above). It’s “conservative, though grand, much like Connor regards himself.” With views of Lake Geneva, the Presidential Suite should be “a more than adequate consolation prize.” While Connor goes for a sail or skulks by the U.N., Willa would enjoy an imperial massage and Abeille Royale Honey Repair facial at the hotel’s Guerlain Spa. From $10,274 per night, ScottDunn.com

Cousin Greg

“Cousin Greg [Nicholas Braun] has newly minted money, let’s be real. So he is going to want to do something ‘bucket list’ and take along a honey to impress her,” said Caroline Quinn, travel expert at Black Tomato, a company specializing in experiential luxury travel. Quinn would plan a “Bush & Beach classic combo,” starting with a five-night safari trip to Angama Amboseli’s private tented camp on Kenya’s Maasai Mara. An ideal place to spot large elephant herds, cheetahs, leopards, and prides of lions, it would let him show off as well. “Can’t you see him wearing loser safari clothes?” asked Quinn. He would then head off by private jet for four nights in a Serenity Villa at the Four Seasons Seychelles. From $57,500 per person, BlackTomato.com

Gerri

While General Counsel Gerri Kelleman (J. Smith-Cameron) was often present at Roy family retreats, she was rarely, if ever, off the clock. Ashley Isaacs Ganz, founder of Artisans of Leisure, based in New York City, would send the executive to Marrakesh to “relax and pamper herself in total luxury while also keeping busy with activities she doesn’t normally do.” At La Mamounia Palace, a suite overlooking the gardens awaits as does a martini, her drink of choice, at the Churchill bar. One day she could indulge in a fragrance lesson with perfumer Abderrazzak Benchaâbane; on the next, make a visit to Yves Saint Laurent’s private residence, Villa Oasis. Then she could wrap up her trip with two days of pampering at Richard Branson’s Kasbah Tamadot in the Atlas mountains in a luxury Berber tent outfitted with a hot tub.
