Looking for an exclusive around-the-world trip? Luxury French tour operator Safrans du Monde has you covered. The company just announced its 2024 World Tour Special Edition, set to begin in Paris on March 10, 2024. It will take guests to nine of the most stunning city and beach destinations around the globe in 24 days in its luxurious air cruise.
Air Cruise itinerary
Guests will first jet off to Mexico City for a three-night stay to explore its neighbourhoods, landmarks (such as the floating gardens of Xochimilco and the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe), and beautiful architecture. Then, they will go to Hawaii and tour Honolulu and the Big Island in 48 hours. The air cruise continues in gorgeous Fiji for a Melanesian journey through its culture, customs, and picture-perfect landscapes.
New Zealand, Australia, and Tasmania are next, where travellers will immerse themselves in Indigenous Māori culture and wander otherworldly sites like Perth’s Wave Rock and Pinnacles Desert.
After a quick two-day stop in Singapore, guests will take a few days to relax on the beautiful beaches of the Maldives before ending the trip with a safari in Tanzania.
“Our ‘2024 World Tour Special Edition Air Cruise’ is all about fostering exceptional moments for guests,” said Guy Bigiaoui, the president of Safrans du Monde, in a press release. “As passengers explore the incredible destinations and enjoy their customised itinerary, they are given the chance to discover a diversity of landscapes and civilisations across the world, all while receiving the highest standards of private aviation service while on board.”
That private aviation service happens on an Airbus A340 that will take guests on this journey of a lifetime. The plane’s cabin is equipped with reclining seats transforming into lie-flat beds, and guests are treated to drinks and multi-course meals prepared by a private chef. And if that’s not enough, there’s even a bar on board offering a curated list of wines, Champagne, and cocktails.
All-inclusive air cruise rates start at EUR 75,000 (USD 81,789) per person, but the itinerary can be tailored with two additional destinations (Paris and Rwanda) or other experiences. The rate also includes stays at some of the most luxurious hotels in the world, including the Four Seasons, St. Regis, Ritz-Carlton, Six Senses, and Fairmont.
This is not Safrans du Monde’s first air cruise. In 2022, the company teamed up with business-class-only airline La Compagnie on a similar tour, and just a few days ago, guests returned from a 22-day private jet cruise that took them to destinations like Jordan, French Polynesia, Cambodia, and India.
