Four Seasons is pushing the boundaries of luxury travel with a new 23-day private jet itinerary that circles the globe, touching down on three continents and offering guests a curated blend of cultural immersion and high-end comfort. The trip, named “Coastlines and Culture,” departs on 6 May 2028 and will carry just 48 passengers on a custom-built Airbus A321LR, the same aircraft that has served the brand’s private jet programme since 2021.
The journey begins in San Francisco and crosses the Pacific to Seoul, where guests will visit the Jingwansa Temple for a spiritual retreat. From there, the route continues to Hangzhou in China, featuring a tea ceremony at the Meijuawu Tea Plantation and a stop at the centuries-old Jinshan Temple. A day excursion to Shanghai will be guided by historian Patrick Cranley, offering insights into the city’s past and present.
Next, the jet heads to Sri Lanka, where travellers will trace the journey of Ceylon cinnamon from harvest to quill and oil, a nod to the island’s rich heritage. The itinerary then moves to Zanzibar, where Four Seasons is set to open a resort in late 2027. Passengers on this trip will be among the first to experience the property, which sits on the Tanzanian archipelago.
Africa remains the focus as the group flies to Sharm El Sheikh in Egypt, where a privately chartered yacht will take them along the Red Sea coast. The final leg brings guests to the French Riviera, with a stay at the Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat, a Four Seasons property, and a yacht excursion to Cannes, famous for its film festival. The journey concludes with a stay at the Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire in the English countryside, including an exclusive visit to Hampton Court Palace, once home to Henry VIII.
Marc Speichert, executive vice president and chief commercial officer at Four Seasons, said the itinerary was designed to create “moments of awe and discovery” by linking destinations rarely combined in a single trip. “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,” he said.
Guests will be supported by a dedicated journey team, including a concierge, a physician and an executive chef, ensuring every need is met throughout the 23 days. The price, starting at €213,000 per person, reflects the exclusivity and level of service on offer.
Other private jet options for 2027
For those who cannot wait until 2028, Four Seasons still has limited places on its 2027 private jet trips. The “International Intrigue” itinerary (3–23 March) combines cultural cities, remote islands and the African savannah, while “New World Icons” (26 March–14 April) explores landmarks across Asia, Europe and the Americas. Families may prefer “World of Adventures” (10 August–2 September), which spans four continents from the Seychelles to the Galápagos. The “Ancient Explorer” trip (3–25 September) links historic sites such as the Great Barrier Reef, Easter Island and the Pyramids of Giza.
This new offering comes as luxury travel continues to rebound, with high-net-worth individuals seeking unique experiences. The Four Seasons private jet programme, which began in 2015, has become a benchmark for ultra-premium travel, and this latest itinerary is set to raise the bar further.
