Boasting onboard chefs and butlers, expert local travel guides, customizable itineraries, refitted private jets and luxury accommodations, these journeys let you experience the best of the world from the best in the sky.
Venture into the uninhabited Antarctic, relax on a secluded white-sand beach in the Bahamas, or get a bird’s eye view of Morocco’s majestic desert landscapes as you sail through the skies in a hot-air balloon.
These five global excursions are sure to turn even the most affluent traveler’s wildest dreams into reality.
20 cities, 20 days | US$278,000 per person
The first ever private jet trip to completely circumnavigate the globe, Passport to 50 took a party of 50 to 20 cities in 20 days, covering 50,000 kilometers in total – all for the eye-watering, jaw-dropping 2017 price of US$13.9 million. That’s equivalent to US$278,000 per person, or US$695,000 per day, and no doubt a little more expensive now.
Created by United States-based tour operator DreamMaker, with one year’s notice, the trip can take clientele to destinations such as Koh Samui, Cannes, London, Barcelona, Ibiza, Kathmandu, Agra, Florence and Havana with unique opportunities and tailored encounters included throughout.
On board the elegantly outfitted Boeing 767 – described as a “playhouse for adults, with wings” – guests can enjoy in-flight activities including yoga sessions, spa services, fashion shows and a hybrid of hypnotherapy and sleep therapy by a certified holistic health professional.
The unique sojourn also incorporates a handful of special ‘hop on, hop off’ guests during various legs of the journey, which in its inaugural circumnavigation included the world’s top-ranked poker player, a former commander of the United States armed forces, a previous chef to the Queen of England and an American baseball legend.
The extravagant adventure includes an astonishing time ratio of 88 percent on-the-ground and 12 percent in-the-air travel, allowing clients to make the most of their journey around the world.
Even better, DreamMaker has partnered with charities including Water.org, Starlight Children’s Foundation, Make-a-Wish Foundation and Whole Child International to support the less fortunate with some of the profits from each round-the-world trip.
