Four Seasons is offering an ultra-luxury round-the-world itinerary, Coastlines & Culture, priced at $238,000 (£180,000) per adult based on double occupancy, plus an additional $23,800 (£18,000) solo supplement. The 23-day trip, scheduled from May 4 to 26, 2028, takes 48 travellers across eight countries aboard the Four Seasons Private Jet.
What's included in the journey
The experience is supported by a crew of 14 aviation and hospitality professionals, with a Four Seasons staff member sent ahead to each stop to smooth arrivals and provide on-the-ground support. Guests travel aboard an Airbus A321neo, which features the widest and tallest cabin in its class, with 48 custom-crafted Italian leather seats that lie completely flat and come with an ottoman for extra legroom. The service crew regularly circulates with drinks and food, while guests can use the onboard lounge area with additional snacks and refreshments.
All flights are scheduled during the day to ensure guests never miss a night in their hotel. Tours are organised ahead of time and can be customised with the concierge before departure, with most activities kept to intimate groups of six to eight people, conducted in English. Private tours can be arranged at an additional cost. Throughout the journey, guests stay exclusively at Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts or properties specially curated by the brand, where the highest category deluxe rooms are reserved as standard, with options to upgrade.

On the French Riviera (May 21-24), guests cruise by yacht from Cap-Ferrat to Cannes, take a helicopter trip to St. Tropez, enjoy a vintage car ride along the Riviera, and take a speedboat trip to Monaco, staying at the Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat, which features a seawater infinity pool and Michelin-starred dining. The journey wraps up in Hampshire (May 24-26) with exclusive access to Hampton Court Palace, traditional polo experiences, and a tour of the Goodwood Estate, with the Four Seasons Hampshire offering a 27,000-square-foot spa in a restored stable and an on-site equestrian centre.
