A Journey Crafted with the World's Leading Genealogy Experts

Your Personal Heritage Journey starts with a desire to understand your past more deeply and answer a question only your family can answer: where does your story begin?

Through our exclusive partnership with AncestryProGenealogists®, the professional research division of Ancestry®, your dedicated genealogist researches your family history at whatever depth you choose, surfacing the records, places, and stories that belong to your family alone. Your Kensington Destination Expert works alongside them to build a personalized travel experience around exactly what the research reveals.

You may visit the village where your great-grandparents were married, walk the streets your ancestors built, or meet distant relatives still living nearby. With local private guides across Europe, the Americas, Africa, and Asia, and dedicated time with an on-site Ancestry Genealogist for as many days as your journey calls for, every moment is grounded in your family's unique story.
