Luxury brand Four Seasons is taking travel to another level with a 23-day private jet journey around the world.
Launching in May 2028, the new itinerary will whisk guests from San Francisco to Seoul, Sri Lanka, Zanzibar and the French Riviera, with exclusive cultural experiences, yacht trips and stays at some of the hotel group’s most prestigious properties along the way.
The original Four Seasons Private Jet launched in 2015, and the current, custom-built Airbus A321LR aircraft has been in service since early 2021.
The “coastlines and culture” itinerary will take flight from 6–26 May for just 48 guests but, unsurprisingly for such a high-end brand, it won’t come cheap. Tickets start from a staggering €213,000 per person.
If you can afford it, though, it’s set to be a pretty magical experience.
“With ‘coastlines and culture’, we’re able to bring together destinations rarely experienced within a single journey, creating moments of awe and discovery, and opening the door to experiences guests may never have imagined possible, all grounded in the genuine care and thoughtful service that define Four Seasons,” said Marc Speichert, executive vice president and chief commercial officer at Four Seasons.
The journey will cross several continents
Guests onboard the jet will be taken care of by a dedicated journey team, which includes a concierge, physician and executive chef.
The route will start in San Francisco and take passengers across the Pacific to Seoul. While in the South Korean capital, guests will immerse themselves in spirituality at Jingwansa Temple.
Next up is Hangzhou in China, where guests will experience a tea ceremony at the Meijuawu Tea Plantation and spend time at the centuries-old Jinshan Temple.
A day trip to Shanghai will see passengers explore the city’s past and present with history expert Patrick Cranley.
Heading west, guests will arrive in Sri Lanka, where they’ll get to know the country’s heritage by following the journey of Ceylon cinnamon from harvest to quill and oil.
Four Seasons is set to open its Zanzibar-based resort in late 2027, and passengers on the jet will be amongst the first to experience it as part of a stop at this tropical archipelago of Tanzania.
Staying in Africa, guests will continue to Sharm El Sheikh, where they’ll board a private yacht charter to explore the Egyptian coastline.
After getting to know the Red Sea, passengers will be flown to the south of France for a stay in one of the glamorous French Riviera’s most storied hotels, Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat, A Four Seasons Hotel.
From here, they’ll hop on another privately chartered yacht for an excursion to Cannes, world-famous for its film festival.
The trip ends with a hop across the English Channel with a stay at the Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire, in the south of the country. Guests will be able to relax in the English countryside and round off the epic journey with an exclusive visit to Henry VIII’s old haunt, Hampton Court Palace.
Other private jet experiences to consider
There are still a limited number of places available on some of Four Seasons’ 2027 private jet trips, for those who don’t want to wait until the following year.
Options include “international intrigue” (3–23 March), which combines cultural cities, remote islands and the African savannah, and “new world icons” (26 March–14 April), taking in landmarks and landscapes across Asia, Europe and the Americas.
Families can also book “world of adventures” (10 August–2 September), which travels across four continents, from the Seychelles to the Galápagos and beyond.
Meanwhile, “ancient explorer” (3–25 September) links historic sites and cultural highlights, including the Great Barrier Reef, Easter Island and the Pyramids of Giza.
