Century Cruises and Ensemble have joined forces for Beyond Extraordinary Experiences in 2026, an annual program recognizing the network’s top-performing members.

This year’s event will take place in China from August 18 to 26.

The announcement coincides with the Year of the Fire Horse, traditionally associated with courage, momentum, and achievement which the companies said were themes that reflect both the network’s continued transformation and the exceptional advisors whose performance has earned them a place on this trip.

The nine-day trip marks the first time the program has ventured into Asia, and the first time Century Cruises, Ensemble’s newest preferred partner, has hosted the event.

Designed in collaboration with the Beijing, Shanghai and Chongqing Tourism Boards, the itinerary is designed to showcase China’s breadth across three distinct cities.

Participants will begin in Beijing, where private access to iconic landmarks sets the tone for the trip. Exclusive experiences at the Great Wall of China and the Temple of Heaven, paired with curated culinary programming spotlighting regional Chinese cuisine.

The group then moves on to Chongqing where guests will board Century Voyage for a luxury Yangtze River sailing through the Three Gorges, with a series of signature onboard events and experiences created exclusively for the Beyond program.

The experience concludes in Shanghai.

“Having the opportunity to host Beyond Extraordinary Experiences 2026 reflects our long-held commitment to building meaningful connections between East and West through hospitality,” said David Fredericks, President and General Manager of Century Cruises.

Michael Johnson, President of Ensemble, added: “Beyond is far more than a traditional recognition journey It is intentional time with the members and partners who are driving results and setting the pace for our network.”
