There’s a travel experience being launched that makes a first-class around-the-world ticket look modest. Fifty passengers. Seven continents. One month. Lie-flat seats the whole way.
In January 2028, luxury travel company Abercrombie & Kent will send a small group of travelers to every continent on the planet in just 28 days.
The journey, called The Seven Continents by Private Jet: One Extraordinary World, is the company’s first tour to cover all seven continents and will be limited to 50 passengers at a time. It is priced at $225,000 per person based on double occupancy.
That number sounds enormous until you start reading what it actually includes.
The Route
The trip departs from Miami and ends in Egypt, with stops spanning almost every corner of the globe in between.
After flying to Madrid, the itinerary moves to Iguazú Falls in South America, then down to Antarctica for an expedition cruise, then east to Rapa Nui (Easter Island), Auckland, Uluru in Australia’s Red Centre, Hanoi and Ha Long Bay in Vietnam, Luang Prabang in Laos, the Maldives, and finally Egypt for the closing chapter on the Nile.
The routing alone is a feat of logistics that most travelers never attempt across an entire lifetime of travel. Abercrombie & Kent has mapped it into four weeks.
What Actually Happens on the Ground
The experiences built into this itinerary go well beyond sightseeing. On Rapa Nui, travelers will watch sunrise over the moai stone statues of Ahu Tongariki. In Australia, the group will journey to the center of the continent to watch Uluru shift color as the light changes through the day.
The Antarctica segment involves an overnight stop in Punta Arenas, Chile, before a separately chartered flight takes guests directly to the Antarctic Peninsula. From there, they’ll sail Antarctic waters aboard the Magellan Discoverer, a chartered expedition ship.
In Laos, the group will receive a blessing by monks at Wat That Luang. The Maldives stop includes snorkeling, time to relax, and a visit to a local fishing village.
The final days in Egypt bring a private after-hours visit to the tombs of Tutankhamun and Amenhotep III in the Valley of the Kings, along with a river journey aboard the Nile Seray, an Abercrombie & Kent Sanctuary vessel.
The Plane
Abercrombie & Kent is operating a privately chartered Boeing 757 for almost all travel between destinations.
The aircraft flies into smaller airports and executive terminals rather than the main concourses at major international airports, which means passengers skip the long security and customs lines that come with commercial travel.
Onboard, passengers get:
- Lie-flat seating
- iPads and noise-cancelling headphones
- A full bar
- Meal service from an executive chef
The crew traveling with the group includes an A&K tour director, an onboard physician, a luggage manager, and a photographer. The tour price covers virtually all meals, beverages, gratuities, laundry, baggage handling, and activities, including specially curated insider events.
The Hotels
Accommodation is handled with the same level of ambition as the flights. Confirmed properties include the Four Seasons Miami, the Hotel das Cataratas (a Belmond Hotel at Iguazú Falls), Explora Rapa Nui, and the Park Hyatt Auckland.
Who This Is Actually For
Rami Girgis, Abercrombie & Kent’s vice president of private jet, described the tour’s intended guests clearly.
Most passengers who book the company’s private jet journeys are existing A&K travelers who have already done small group and tailormade trips and are looking for something that pushes further.
“Guests on our Private Jet program are not buying a flight,” Girgis said. “They are buying a year’s worth of access in 28 days.”
The 28-day journey runs from January 3 to 30, 2028.
