(NEWS) TORONTO, 2025-Nov-13 — /Travel PR News/ — Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts is charting a bold new chapter in luxury air travel with New World Icons, a 20-day Private Jet Experience itinerary departing March 26 to April 14, 2027. The newly announced journey brings together first-time destinations, returning favorites, and a curated arc of cultural immersion that stretches from opera in Venice to glass-bottom kayaking in Anguilla and deep-sea fishing in Cabo.
It’s a statement reveal for a program that has steadily expanded over more than a decade. While Four Seasons operated sold-out global jet tours as early as 2013, the launch of its first fully branded and fully customized Private Jet in 2015 transformed the category. That inaugural jet redefined the experience with a Four Seasons–designed cabin, curated itineraries, and the signature hospitality the brand is known for. The arrival of the A321neo-LR in 2021 — with its spacious lounge, interactive workshops, and only 48 handcrafted seats — advanced the concept even further.
New World Icons builds directly on that evolution: rarer destinations, deeper storytelling, and journeys that feel less like itineraries and more like flowing narratives.
A Seamless Journey Through Seven Countries
The adventure begins in Hong Kong, where guests will explore neon alleyways, open-air markets, and cultural enclaves with expert guides. From there, the jet touches down in Langkawi, where a Four Seasons naturalist leads travelers into a biodiverse world of sea eagles, macaques, otters, and mangrove ecosystems framed by dramatic limestone karsts.
In Jaipur, guests enjoy private palace access and a regal gala dinner complete with camel polo — a celebration of Rajasthan’s vivid heritage. The itinerary then sweeps into Venice, home to the soon-to-relaunch Danieli, A Four Seasons Hotel, Venice. Guests will experience a helicopter flight to Cortina d’Ampezzo, pairing the Dolomites’ alpine drama with the area’s boutique-lined streets.
Next comes one of the itinerary’s visual highlights: Iceland’s Golden Circle. Travelers will snowmobile across the glistening Langjökull Glacier, hike geothermal landscapes, and unwind in the mineral-rich waters of the Blue Lagoon.
From Iceland, the trip shifts to the Caribbean, where Anguilla’s turquoise waters set the stage for glass-bottom kayaking. The journey concludes in Los Cabos, with surfcasting, deep-sea fishing, and a stay at the new Four Seasons Resort and Residences Cabo San Lucas at Cabo Del Sol.
Pricing begins at USD 219,000 per person, based on double occupancy.
A Program Years in the Making
Long before the 2015 introduction of its fully branded jet, Four Seasons had been experimenting with multi-country private jet tours. Press materials from 2013 highlight early itineraries such as “Rediscover the Americas” and “Around the World,” operated with just 56 guests and supported by an in-flight concierge, private chef, and expedited airport services. These sold out quickly, signaling a strong appetite for curated, worry-free global travel.
The dedicated Four Seasons Private Jet launched in 2015 refined that concept dramatically. With handcrafted seating, a full Four Seasons crew, and hotel-caliber service in the sky, the company reimagined how luxury travelers could move across continents. Bookings surged. By 2018, itineraries like World of Adventures — spanning Rwanda, the Seychelles, the Galápagos, and more — were selling out in record time.
The debut of the A321neo-LR in 2021 — with its wide cabin, elevated residential-style lavatories, expanded galley, and an interactive social lounge for culinary demonstrations and cultural workshops — further elevated the experience. Guests could now mingle with Four Seasons master chefs, mixologists, wellness experts, and artisans at 40,000 feet. This was followed by a suite of 2022 itineraries — including African Wonders, Timeless Encounters, and Ancient Explorer — that showcased everything from gorilla trekking in Rwanda to private tours of the Taj Mahal and behind-the-scenes experiences at the Sydney Opera House.
With each iteration, Four Seasons expanded the emotional arc of its programs: more cultural access, more hands-on discovery, and more opportunities to feel the spirit of each destination rather than simply pass through it.
A Growing Luxury-Jet Landscape
Four Seasons isn’t alone in this arena anymore. As luxury travelers increasingly embrace curated, multi-country jet experiences, other brands have entered the space. Most recently, Preferred Hotels & Resorts announced a 2026 itinerary of its own — Legendary Journeys – The Ultimate Private Jet Experience — a 17-night, 29-couple adventure spanning Singapore, India, Rwanda, Kenya, Greece, Morocco, and London. With lie-flat seating, curated wines, safari lodges, and cultural programming, the offering signals a broader expansion of ultra-luxury, small-group jet travel.
The demand for multi-country, highly personalized jet expeditions has grown so sharply that Four Seasons now releases new itineraries more than a year in advance. Its itineraries for 2026 — including Grand Horizons, a nine-destination sweep from Napa Valley to Ha Long Bay and Mallorca — already reflect a push to stay ahead of rising competition.
Still, Four Seasons retains a distinct advantage: most stops include stays at Four Seasons hotels, ensuring consistency, service, and seamlessness across the globe.
A Glimpse Into the Future of Luxury Travel
What sets New World Icons apart isn’t just the bucket-list destinations — it’s the way the itinerary flows like an unfolding story. Each experience is held together by a Four Seasons team that travels with guests from start to finish: an Executive Chef, Concierge, Journey Physician, and Experience Manager all working to shape each day around individual preferences.
In an era where traditional long-haul travel can feel uncertain or logistical, these curated journeys offer an alternative: a fully supported, deeply immersive way to experience the world without the stress of planning, connections, or transfers.
Seats are limited to 48 guests, and based on past demand, they’re expected to fill quickly.
For travelers looking for a taste of global discovery — with the ease and warmth of Four Seasons hospitality — New World Icons may be one of the most compelling ways to see the world in 2027.
