For well-heeled travellers who relish the convenience and comfort of luxury cruises, the idea of flying around the world in a spacious private jet may be the next logical step. Group jet expeditions offer a similar mix of exclusive access, attentive service and seamless logistics, allowing guests to explore multiple continents without the hassles of commercial air travel. In the past six months several leading operators have announced new or expanded itineraries for 2025 and 2026. Here is a look at what’s on offer from TCS World Travel, Abercrombie & Kent, Remote Lands (in partnership with Aman), Four Seasons, National Geographic Expeditions and more.
TCS World Travel: Seven Continents in 29 Days
TCS World Travel has a storied history of running around-the-world private jet tours, and its latest marquee itinerary is the “Seven Continents by Private Jet” journey scheduled for 29 days from December 27 2026 to January 24 2027. Guests board a custom-outfitted Airbus A321 with lie-flat seats and fly with just 52 guests, stopping at 14 destinations across every continent. Starting in Miami, the route calls at Cusco and Machu Picchu, Easter Island, Papeete, the Great Barrier Reef, Angkor Wat, the Taj Mahal, Zanzibar, Cape Town, Antarctica, the Maasai Mara, Luxor and Cairo, and London. Marketing materials call it “an expedition like no other,” emphasising the contrast of experiences: climbing Machu Picchu, then crossing oceans to Australia’s coral reefs, watching lions roam the Serengeti, and ending with a scenic flight over Antarctica. The itinerary highlights Four Seasons properties and other luxury hotels on the ground, with daily excursions and cultural events. TCS’s new A321 jet has flat-bed seating and a dedicated chef, and the company says the trip will offer personalised service similar to what guests enjoy on its smaller around-the-world tours.
