The original founders of the Mercedes-Benz company had some ideas about automaking that simply are not duplicated in any other class of luxury automobile... because before there was luxury, the Maybachs brought us an era of super-luxury.</p>]]>
<![CDATA[<p><br><b>A Rich History</b>.</p>

<p>Founded by Wilhelm Maybach, who developed the first modern automobile in 1900 -- a historic 35 hp Mercedes -- and whom the French called "The King of Design Engineers", todays Maybach-Manufaktur has a rich history of tradition and it is still far and above <em>the</em> most luxurious automobile maker in the European and American markets. <a href="http://www.superluxx.com/mt-files/autos/maybach-ornament.html" onclick="window.open('http://www.superluxx.com/mt-files/autos/maybach-ornament.html','popup','width=330,height=250,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false"><img alt="click to see full Maybach hood ornament" src="http://www.superluxx.com/mt-files/autos/maybach-ornament-small.jpg" width="135" height="100" border="1" align="right" style="margin-left:10px; margin-top:8px;" /></a>It was the Maybach (pronounced my-bock) family including son Karl Maybach, and close associate Gottlieb Daimler who pioneered luxury automobile design and engineering in Germany, and who ultimately molded the luxury sedan industry as we commonly know it today.</p>

<p>But few people have enjoyed the exclusive pleasures held within the Maybach, compared to it's more common cousin, the Mercedes-Benz... So, allow us to unveil some of the finer details about this automobile with a history of design spanning over a century, from 1885 to 2004.</p>

<p><b>Classic Pioneers.</b></p>

<p>First of all, readers, let us examine one of the most exclusive automobiles in existence, <em>ever</em>. It's the <a href="http://www.superluxx.com/mt-files/autos/mayback38sw-side.html" onclick="window.open('http://www.superluxx.com/mt-files/autos/mayback38sw-side.html','popup','width=649,height=276,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false"><b>Maybach SW 38 Roadster</b></a> (pop-up image). Built in 1939, there is only one working model in the world, now located in Germany. Operating with a 140 hp engine, this rare beauty with voluptous, yet aerodynamic curves can reach a top speed of 93 mph. This one of a kind specimen of super-luxury class roadster is the ultimate prize, and is not for sale, although it's sexy curves and bold design shall always be hailed as one of the rarest automotive roadster designs in history.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.superluxx.com/mt-files/autos/maybach-zeppellin-side.html" onclick="window.open('http://www.superluxx.com/mt-files/autos/maybach-zeppellin-side.html','popup','width=500,height=224,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false"><img alt="click to see a Zeppellin side shot" src="http://www.superluxx.com/mt-files/autos/maybach-zeppellin-front.jpg" width="260" height="150" border="1" align="left" style="margin-right:8px;" /></a>Second, and of equally important mention, has to be the <b>Maybach Zeppellin</b> (200 hp / 106 mph top speed) built in 1929 (pictured at left). The rich history of this legendary automobile forever gives it an iconic status. Because these were the automobiles that figures of history like Al Capone rode to the his hangouts in dangerous Chicago evenings. These are also the rides of German Presidents, movie stars at the Oscars, and it probably goes without saying that that Hitler probably rode in more than one Maybach Zeppellin, for whatever the occation -- or occupation -- called. These were the times of excess in Hollywood in spite of a coming recession, the rise of Avant-garde and bourgeois culture, and the birth of the Bauhaus and art deco movements. Notably, in Germany, the primary principles of the Bauhaus movement drove craftsmanship, quality, and high-functionality of the Maybach automobile, to ultimately evolve into a masterpiece of modern engineering... The Zeppellin, which still defines the spirit of the ultimate super-luxury ride.</p>

<p><b>Today, the Maybach luxury sedan.</b></p>

<p><img alt="the Maybach luxury sedan" src="http://www.superluxx.com/mt-files/autos/maybach-day.jpg" width="650" height="166" border="0" /></p>

<p>From the <b>V12 Engine</b>, assembled by hand from 750 single parts, down to the stitching on the reclining jet-airplane-style seats, practically everything making up a Maybach is hand-crafted. In fact, 330 highly skilled people -- working in a state of the art factory -- will produce on average only 5 sedans per day. And each Maybach (in either the "57" or "62" Saloon; named for it's length in meters) is commissioned and produced individully according to each customer's desires.</p>

<p><b>The Interior</b></p>

<p><img alt="maybach62-nightlights.jpg" src="http://www.superluxx.com/mt-files/autos/maybach62-nightlights.jpg" width="254" height="152" border="0" align="right" style="margin-left:12px;" />Yes, the Interior wood in Californian walnut and cherry-wood finishes, and vivid colors of nubuck and nappa leather help frame the environment. The unique self-shutting doors help keep out the noise and disturbances of the outside world. But, the grand centerpiece of modern luxury is arguably the 15 panes of electro-transparent <b>panoramic glass roof</b> above your head (Maybach 62 model). In the day, the glass roof provides the perfect ambience, filtering or frosting light softly into the cabin of the car. But at night, the same panes deliver a soft ambient light, diffusely illuminating the interior decor in a moody tone that can only be described as seductive.</p>

<p>It is probably logical though, that all this pampering should actually enhance your appreciation of the "other" interior. For the interior-under-the-hood is what made the Maybach famous, in 1929, when the Zeppellin was released with the first series-produced 12-cylinder engine. A mark of pioneering quality that contiunues today in the Maybach sedan that offers the engineering masterpiece of the 543 hp, 12V twin-turbocharged aluminum and magnesium constructed engine, and stands as the highest torque standard-production engine in the world. In fact, the Maybach 57, produced under DaimlerChrysler, has lapped Germany's famed Nuerburgring racetrack faster than a Porsche Boxster S.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.superluxx.com/mt-files/autos/maybach-night.html" onclick="window.open('http://www.superluxx.com/mt-files/autos/maybach-night.html','popup','width=706,height=254,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false"><img alt="click to see Maybach at night" src="http://www.superluxx.com/mt-files/autos/maybach62-exterior.jpg" width="255" height="151" border="1"  align="left" style="margin-right:8px;" /></a>And finally, we arrive at the exterior of this modern, yet timeless luxury masterpiece. Recognized by the American Academy of Hospitality Sciences as the "embodiment of motoring heritage and excitement", the Maybach luxury sedan has classic and invigorating lines that seem to float in the absense of any other competing power. Although appearing aloof, this lion of an automobile -- measuring a massive 6' 6" wide at 20' 3" long -- has the supreme power of unmatchable engineering, the latest modern touches, and the timeless elegance of a by-gone era cum full-circle with the luxuries of today.</p>

<p><br />
<b>Base Price: $359,500 (2004 Maybach 62).</b></p>

They deliver a dizzying array of worldwide travel, tours, luxury homes, villas, adventures and accomodations -- a true <em>suite</em> of special travel arrangements for just about any imaginable situation -- all with the first-class service and amenities that is their signature.</p>]]>
<![CDATA[<p><b>History as an Adventure Travel Group</b></p>

<p><img alt="ak-villa-1.jpg" src="http://www.superluxx.com/mt-files/travel/ak-villa-1.jpg" width="265" height="143" border="0" align="right" style="margin-left:10px;" />Started as Adventure Travel group in 1962, A & K now includes Concierge Villas, Destination Clubs, Towne Clubs, A & K Jets, as well the ongoing service and expertise for providing only first-class travel packages, adventures and accomodations. Of course, it wouldn't be enough to offer these alone...<br />
 <br />
<b>Exxclusive Destinations Clubs</b></p>

<p>For only a handful of priveleged travelers, A & K Destinations offers the <b>Marco Polo Club</b>, an exclusive club, dedicated to the spirit of adventure and trail blazing. And today when there are so few trails left to explore, The Marco Polo Club offers the nuance and flexibility of a small, private travel club like no other travel association.</p>

<p><b>Private Retreats, Concierge Villas and Clubs</b></p>

<p>Representing an evolution in home ownership and private retreats, A & K offers the ultimate luxury lifestyle experience. Instead of hitting the same beach house on the shore, or in the hills time and again, they offer an enourmous, yet exclusive, choice of first class destinations and accomodations that -- unlike owenership -- makes your vacation a wise investment.</p>

<em>Cabo San Lucas</em> - on Baja's southernmost tip. (Pictured here, "El Arco")</p>

<p>Imagine the privacy and comfort of your own home, but with unmatched access to premier beaches, golf courses and ski mountains worldwide, and you choose from Mexico's East and West coasts, Colorado and Utah areas, Hawaii, Baja, or Florida. That's only in North America.</p>

<p>There's also an entire listing of International Villa Destinations Throughout Europe, Africa, Australia and the Orient. Truly, A & K Concierge Villas provides a global luxury vacation outlet and a variety of locations that is hard to match. </p>

<p><b>Indepent Luxury Travel</b></p>

<p><img alt="ak-indy.jpg" src="http://www.superluxx.com/mt-files/travel/ak-indy.jpg" width="250" height="107" border="0" align="right" style="margin-left:10px;"/>A&K can even create a unique, custom-designed independent itinerary just for you, with an Abercrombie & Kent luxury African safari, a voyage to Oceania, or anywhere in Europe... their network of on-site offices ensure the greatest caliber of service no matter where you choose. </p>

<p>So, whether it is luxury trains of Scotland, Jets over the Italian Alps or sailing aboard the <a href="http://www.superluxx.com/mt-files/travel/ak-seacloud-lg.html" onclick="window.open('http://www.superluxx.com/mt-files/travel/ak-seacloud-lg.html','popup','width=250,height=308,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false">Sea Cloud</a> in the Agean, your carriage awaits.</p>

<p><b>International Highlights</b></p>

<p>To step aboard <a href="luxury_travel/index.html#000006">The Royal Scotsman Luxury Train</a><a href="http://www.superluxx.com/mt-files/travel/ak-scotsman.html" onclick="window.open('http://www.superluxx.com/mt-files/travel/ak-scotsman.html','popup','width=692,height=150,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false"></a> is to step into a different world. Imagine a train ride through Scotland where luxury, civility and gracious hospitality evoke gentler times; the romantic age of travel when getting there was as much fun as arriving. It a mystical journey through ancient mountains and mysterious lochs, golden glens and charming villages.</p>

<p><b>Abercrombie & Kent Jets</b></p>

<p><img alt="ak-jet.jpg" src="http://www.superluxx.com/mt-files/travel/ak-jet.jpg" width="175" height="100" border="1" align="left" style="margin-right:8px;" />When the question is how to get there, A&K has your luxury Jets awaiting. Just purchase the hours you need in the type of aircraft best suited to your mission, and you are sky-bound in style. With A & K Jets, you can fly the Intercontinental range Challenger 604 (Challenger 300 pictured) high above the weather, kickback and enjoy the highest standard for comfort in its class on its spacious, <a href="http://www.superluxx.com/mt-files/travel/ak-jet-inside.html" onclick="window.open('http://www.superluxx.com/mt-files/travel/ak-jet-inside.html','popup','width=141,height=164,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false">widebody cabin</a> while you travel to your luxury villa or private retreat.<br clear="all"></p>

<p><b>Small ship cruises</b></p>

<p>A&K accommodations find vessels that offer "simply the best" small-ship cruising in the world - ships that are uniquely right for the season, destination and style of the itinerary you choose. No fifty-foot chandeliers, no floor shows, no rock walls here... So, there's a little less 'spontaneous' entertainment from your ship-mates, but then, you can't have everything.</p>
