Four Seasons has unveiled its 2028 Private Jet Experience itinerary, "Coastlines & Culture," a 23-day journey scheduled for 6–26 May. The route connects celebrated coastlines across the Pacific, Asia, Africa, and Europe, with first-time stops for the program in Sri Lanka and Zanzibar.
The trip begins in San Francisco, crosses the Pacific to Seoul, and continues through Hangzhou, Sri Lanka, Zanzibar, Egypt, and the French Riviera before concluding in Hampshire, UK. Travelers will stay at a mix of established and upcoming Four Seasons properties, including the anticipated Four Seasons Resort Zanzibar.
Marc Speichert, Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer of Four Seasons, emphasized the deliberate pairing of destinations. "We consider not only where we take our guests but how we pair destinations to bring different parts of the world together into one seamless and memorable journey," he said.
Cultural immersion and exclusive access
The itinerary is designed for deep cultural engagement. In Seoul, guests will participate in a temple stay at Jingwansa Temple. In Hangzhou, they will meet tea masters at the Meijuawu Tea Plantation. Sri Lanka offers a private tour of a cinnamon estate, highlighting the island's spice heritage.
In Zanzibar, the program includes insights into Swahili culture, with the new resort as a base. Later stops feature a private yacht charter in Sharm El Sheikh and a stay at the Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat on the French Riviera. The journey ends with exclusive access to Hampton Court Palace in the UK.
The private jet is a custom-configured Airbus A321neoLR, and each departure is supported by a dedicated Journey Team. Four Seasons has not disclosed pricing for the 2028 itinerary.
For those seeking earlier travel, limited availability remains on select 2027 itineraries, including "International Intrigue" and "World of Adventures." These journeys follow a similar model of combining luxury accommodations with curated experiences.
The announcement underscores the growing demand for ultra-luxury experiential travel, a trend echoed in recent industry data. According to Agoda data, Asia's luxury travelers increasingly prioritize experiences over amenities, a shift that aligns with Four Seasons' approach.
Four Seasons' private jet program has become a benchmark in the luxury travel sector, offering a seamless blend of aviation and hospitality. The 2028 route expands its geographic reach, tapping into emerging luxury destinations like Sri Lanka and Zanzibar, which are gaining traction among high-end travelers.
Travel advisors and luxury tour operators should note the extended lead time for this product, as well as the potential for custom extensions. The inclusion of Hampton Court Palace and private yacht charters adds exclusive elements that appeal to discerning clients.
As the luxury travel market evolves, such itineraries are likely to remain a key differentiator for brands like Four Seasons. The company's focus on cultural immersion and seamless logistics positions it well for the growing segment of travelers seeking transformative journeys.
