A 28 Day Private Jet Odyssey Across Seven Continents

Crossing all seven continents usually demands a formidable patchwork of flights, hotels, transfers and permits. Abercrombie & Kent intends to compress that undertaking into one meticulously managed, ultra-luxury journey lasting 28 days.

Scheduled from January 3 to January 30, 2028, “The Seven Continents by Private Jet: One Extraordinary World” will carry a maximum of 50 passengers around the globe, according to Abercrombie & Kent. The journey is priced at $225,000 per person based on double occupancy.

The route begins in Miami and concludes in Madrid after visits spanning North America, South America, Antarctica, Oceania, Asia, Africa and Europe. Most long-haul flights will operate aboard Abercrombie & Kent’s privately chartered, reconfigured Boeing 757, which has 50 lie-flat seats.

A Seven-Continent Itinerary in 28 Days

The itinerary reads like an atlas of places that often require separate, highly involved trips. Confirmed stops include Iguazú Falls, Antarctica, Rapa Nui, Auckland, Uluru, Hanoi, Ha Long Bay, Luang Prabang, the Maldives and Egypt, according to Abercrombie & Kent.

In South America, travelers will visit Iguazú Falls before continuing to Punta Arenas for the Antarctic portion of the journey. Rather than taking the Boeing 757 directly onto the continent, guests will board a separately chartered aircraft for the flight from Punta Arenas to the Antarctic Peninsula. They will then join the expedition vessel Magellan Discoverer.

That distinction is important. Antarctica introduces logistical and environmental variables unlike those of a conventional luxury resort stop. The aircraft transfer and expedition vessel create a separate operational sequence within the broader private jet itinerary.

From there, the program continues to Rapa Nui, also known as Easter Island, where a planned experience includes sunrise at Ahu Tongariki. The Pacific crossing proceeds through Auckland and Australia, including a visit to Uluru, before moving into Southeast Asia.

The Asian portion includes Hanoi, Ha Long Bay and Luang Prabang, followed by time in the Maldives. In Egypt, guests will travel along the Nile aboard the Nile Seray. Abercrombie & Kent also plans a private after-hours visit to the tombs of Tutankhamun and Amenhotep III.

What the $225,000 Package Includes

The price covers more than transportation between headline destinations. According to Abercrombie & Kent, the package includes luxury accommodations, virtually all meals and beverages, gratuities, laundry, baggage handling and activities.

Named hotels include Four Seasons Hotel Miami, Hotel das Cataratas, a Belmond hotel, Explora Rapa Nui and Park Hyatt Auckland. These properties support the trip’s positioning as an end-to-end luxury experience rather than a private flight paired with independently arranged stays.

The privately chartered Boeing 757 is central to that proposition. Its 50 lie-flat seats correspond to the journey’s 50-passenger limit, eliminating the denser cabin layout normally associated with a commercial narrow-body aircraft. Abercrombie & Kent says the private aviation model is also intended to reduce travel time by using smaller airports and executive terminals where possible.

For guests weighing the price, much of the value rests in this consolidation. The operator is coordinating long-haul aviation, luxury hotels, an Antarctic expedition voyage, ground transportation, baggage handling, and destination programming within a single 27-night schedule.

The Booking Calculus for Families and Multigenerational Travelers

This is an ambitious expedition, not simply a succession of indulgent hotel stays. In my assessment, the 28-day duration and rapid movement among distinct climates, time zones, and transportation modes require travelers to evaluate stamina as carefully as budget.

Families considering the journey should ask Abercrombie & Kent for precise guidance on age suitability, room configurations and the physical demands of each activity. Multigenerational groups should also request detailed information about walking distances, boarding procedures, mobility assistance and access aboard the separately chartered Antarctic aircraft, Magellan Discoverer and Nile Seray. The published trip details establish an exceptionally broad route, but they do not provide enough accessibility information to assume every component will suit every traveler.

The inclusion of meals, gratuities, laundry and baggage handling may meaningfully reduce everyday friction, especially over 27 nights. Lie-flat seating can also make repeated long-distance flights more manageable. Still, comfort in the air does not remove the cumulative demands of frequent departures, climate changes and tightly sequenced sightseeing.

Travelers with medical, dietary, or mobility requirements should discuss them with the operator before placing a deposit. Antarctica, in particular, should prompt questions about emergency planning, insurance requirements, landing contingencies and the accessibility of expedition activities.

Luxury With an Environmental Question

A world-circling Boeing 757 configured for 50 passengers inevitably places sustainability within the conversation. Abercrombie & Kent’s trip information emphasizes access, efficiency and comfort; the supplied details do not quantify the journey’s carbon footprint or identify specific mitigation measures.

Prospective guests who consider environmental stewardship part of luxury travel should ask directly about aviation emissions, carbon accounting, waste management and visitor protocols in sensitive destinations. Antarctica, Uluru and Rapa Nui are not merely scenic backdrops. They are places where cultural respect and careful environmental conduct should remain integral to the experience.

The trip’s appeal is nevertheless clear. It replaces years of separate planning with a single global loop, offers private aviation and carefully chosen accommodations, and builds rare access into an itinerary that reaches every continent in under a month. For travelers with the resources, available time, and appetite for sustained movement, Abercrombie & Kent is offering an unusually concentrated version of the ultimate bucket-list journey.
