New private jet journey takes travellers to all seven continents in just 29 days

Seattle-based luxury travel operator TCS World Travel has unveiled what it’s calling its “most ambitious itinerary to date” — a month-long adventure that spans the globe, touching down on all seven continents.

The 29-day ‘Seven Continents by Private Jet’ expedition features 12 remarkable destinations, from Machu Picchu in Peru to Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, according to Robb Report.

Along the way, guests will experience unforgettable moments such as wandering through Antarctica’s surreal ice tunnels, spotting wildlife on Kenya’s Maasai Mara National Reserve, and standing before Egypt’s Great Sphinx and Pyramids of Giza.

“Visiting all seven continents in a single journey has long been a dream for TCS World Travel, and now it’s a reality,” said Shelley Cline, president of TCS World Travel.

Luxury “air cruises” have been on the rise, with high-end operators offering private jet expeditions that rival the pace — and glamour — of Around the World in 80 Days.

Over the past three decades, TCS has led more than 300 private jet journeys to 200-plus destinations, but this marks its first-ever itinerary covering all seven continents in one seamless trip.

“Seven Continents is the pinnacle of global adventure—a bucket list experience delivered with comfort, ease, enriching cultural encounters, and the exceptional service our guests know they can expect,” Cline added.

One of the highlights is a partnership with White Desert, one of the few companies authorised to land commercial jets deep inside Antarctica. Guests will fly from Cape Town to a dramatic blue-ice runway and spend a full day soaking up the untouched wilderness. Outfitted with parkas and Baffin boots, travellers can explore under the endless daylight of the Antarctic summer.

The itinerary also includes new African experiences, from browsing the vibrant spice markets of Zanzibar to relaxing on its powdery beaches, while enjoying luxury stays at properties by One&Only, Belmond, Four Seasons, &Beyond, and Raffles.

The journey will be aboard a customised Airbus A321 with only 52 flatbed leather seats, spacious lavatories, and full-length mirrors. An 18-member crew, including a dedicated chef and onboard physician, will ensure guests are looked after every step of the way.

This globe-spanning expedition is priced at $205,000 per person (double occupancy), with an all-inclusive package covering private flights, luxury accommodation, ground transfers, and meals. Optional suite upgrades are also available.
