The World Tour
Special Edition 2025
From May 1st to May 15th, 2025
The world in a magnificent panorama!
Imagine two incredible weeks being carried away to the most beautiful landscapes, iconic cities, and societies. Imagine combining discovery, relaxation, and culture every day. Gain a new perspective on the complexity and richness of our world. Discover a new way to travel the world, choosing your itinerary, focusing on the essentials with fewer stops while taking your time.
Welcome aboard the Special Edition 2025! We're thrilled to offer you unparalleled access to extraordinary worlds. Every detail has been meticulously arranged to ensure your comfort and pleasure. Simply sit back, marvel, and savor every moment of this remarkable journey. It all begins with the sound of Cumbia, the lively music of the Caribbean coast that will enchant your steps through the beautiful and vibrant Cartagena. Then, in the comfort of your beautiful plane, you will fly to Easter Island to spend 2 nights on one of the most remote inhabited islands in the world, a land of mystery and magic, lost in the vastness of the Pacific Ocean.
Get ready for a truly emotional adventure as you meet the Moai, these silent giants who exude enigmatic serenity as they gaze into eternity. From extensive traveler experience, no one emerges from this encounter unchanged—it's a journey beyond the confines of our world and outside of time itself!
With a gentle wing beat, your next stop will be French Polynesia. Spanning an area as vast as the entirety of Europe, you'll have the freedom to craft your own itinerary. Will you opt for a vacation amidst the breathtaking lagoons of Bora Bora or Moorea? Perhaps find serenity on Tetiaroa, a beloved retreat of Brando? Or seek authenticity in the Marquesas? For diving enthusiasts, there's the option of exploring the underwater wonders of the Tuamotu. And for those craving ultra-luxury, there's the newly opened and discreet Nao Noa Private Island Retreat. Whichever you choose, these five days in paradise promise the intoxicating scent of tiara flowers, the caress of the trade winds, and the spellbinding beauty of sunsets beyond compare. Step aboard your jet and toast with a vintage champagne to mark this special occasion, as today you're embarking on a journey to the most exotic of destinations - the land of the rising sun. With the magic of an Air Cruise, you'll soar towards a "society of the future" where the extraordinary Universal Exhibition in Osaka awaits. Closer to the heart of Japan, you'll discover Kyoto, the former imperial capital, where tradition seamlessly intertwines with modernity in unparalleled harmony. Every corner, temple, shrine, and garden will captivate you, unraveling the rich tapestry of the country's history. Just like in French Polynesia, you can opt for an alternative program: Kanazawa, the jewel of the Edo period, and the traditional villages of Shirakawa-go and Gokoyama nestled in the Japanese Alps, or rather a traditional stay at the sumptuous Ryokan Kurashaki and a visit to the small island of Naoshima dedicated to contemporary art, or why not Hakone and Tokyo, or finally, a tailor-made program just for you.
From one stop to another, you will find your crew, the comfort of your own seat, and suddenly the sky transforms into a realm of elegance. Champagne, canapés, menus specially created for each flight by our Chef Paul Caussé, the finest wines and Art de Vivre, conviviality spaces, the whole universe of your private jet by the signature of a French house of excellence, Safrans du Monde.
Pearl of Colombia on the Caribbean coast, Cartagena is the vibrant treasure of a colonial history and a fiery temperament. Bursting with colors and music, the 'heroic city' narrates centuries of stories of pirates, conquests, and dreams. You will wander through the cobbled streets of its historic center, the Ciudad Amurallada. Never far from its walls, here time seems suspended, captured in the vibrant color of bougainvillea draping the balconies of houses painted in solar yellows, deep blues, and vibrant pinks, in the murmur of hidden fountains, and the smile of statues watching over the city. The program for this first stop can also be tailor-made; for example, you could follow your guide to discover the most beautiful houses in the city or perhaps immerse yourself in Colombian culture to the rhythm of salsa. Thus, each of your steps, every turn, every movement, will bring you closer to the soul of Cartagena.
