A very unique long-haul itinerary in our Luxury Spirit !

Our Air Cruise subtly blends classic destinations and surprising stopovers in an atypical round trip created to appeal to the most seasoned globetrotters. Does the idea tempt you?

Head for Mexico City for a colourful immersion from Mayan temples to the teeming megalopolis. Take off again for a lunch in the clouds over the ocean. The volcanoes of Hawaii appear, and you land in Honolulu – Aloha! Further west lies Fiji: a tropical Eden proud of its Melanesian traditions. Still further afield, at the end of the Pacific, you reach New Zealand, one of the planet's most quintessentially beautiful countries, self-proclaimed as "the edge of the world". You return to your crew and your seat on board, and then, in barely three hours, we offer you the inaccessible in Hobart, Tasmania, designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its incomparable nature. Still in Australia, this time on the island-continent itself, you are welcomed by Perth and its Australian way of life. Still further on, in the blue of the Indian Ocean, lies the paradisiac archipelago of the Maldives. Farniente? Well-being? Or underwater explorations? It’s certain that over four days you will have time to savour every kind of pleasure before reaching the green, untamed nature and astonishing vitality of Tanzania: the apotheosis of this unusual World Tour. We still have one last surprise in store for you before you return: a stop in Jerusalem, for a a whirlwind of encounters, images, sensations. This World Tour will be as incredible as anything you've seen.

ITINERARY

In Paris, as soon as you go through the terminal door, you will see your smiling Cruise manager waiting to welcome you, and the journey begins... All that remains is to hand us your luggage and take a seat on board your Private Plane. Our entire team is there to assist you on the first steps of the magnificent adventure in store, starting with our flight attendants, who will show you to your seat for the next eight flights. Make yourself comfortable, have a glass of champagne and it's already time to take off. With all the excitement of the first flight, the unique setting of this Air Cruise, and a cuisine to match. You will soon cross the ocean and arrive in Mexico City, poised to show you its wonders on your first stopover.

Mexico City, Mexico

And we’re off! You are already enjoying your comfortable plane, the attentions of the crew, the canapés and champagne and the chef’s imaginative cuisine... In the late afternoon, you arrive in Mexico City, where the larger-than-life capital welcomes you for three nights. The huge Paseo de la Reforma avenue leads to the Palacio National, where your guide will retrace the "epic of the Mexican people" admirably illustrated in Diego Rivera’s famous frescoes. Does the cathedral look a bit askew? That’s normal in these volcanic lands, but they are also home to havens of peace away from the noise of this teeming city. For instance, you can visit the fabulous National Museum of Anthropology in the Chapultepec woods. Then the floating gardens of Xochimilco provide an enchanting, colourful stroll along the canals. You will also see the basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe, where 20 million Mexicans come to contemplate the sacred shroud of the Virgin each year, as well as the remarkable pre-Columbian pyramids of the city of Teotihuacan. Of course, the joyful sound of mariachi bands will accompany you all through the first stopover of your World Tour. Viva Mexico!

Hawaii, United States of America

At your feet lies Honolulu, where people say Aloha! Hawaii, the fiftieth American state, is a delightful mix of Hula and disco, American modernity and Pacific tradition. Its capital is home to surfers and businessmen, palm trees and skyscrapers. You'll visit the moving Pearl Harbour Memorial and Iolani Palace, the former residence of the last Hawaiian rulers, before heading to Diamond Head Beach, dominated by a magnificent 300,000-year-old volcanic tuff crater. You can also take a moment of free time to swim in the warm Pacific waters or stroll along the legendary Waikiki boardwalk. The day after a balmy tropical evening of ukulele music, you head for Big Island and the Volcano National Park: the island's most spectacular site, with its rainforest, sulphur fumaroles, lava tunnels and more. The island’s stunning geology will hold no more secrets for you. You can explore it on the ground, from the air or even in a tête à tête, hidden from sight...

Nadi, Fiji Islands

Bula Male! Welcome to Fiji! A name that in itself already promises crystal clear waters, fine sand beaches, attractive hotels and traditions dating from the dawn of time. A surprising experience: during your flight, you pass the International Date Line: a slightly disconcerting time jump. Four centuries after the explorer Abel Tasman, you will discover this tropical Eden at the end of the world, populated by Melanesians with long-standing traditions and Indians who settled here in colonial times. 322 islands (a third of which are inhabited), a warm and friendly population, a soothing rhythm, and almost only one religion: rugby! During this short stopover, you will see Nadi, the gateway to the archipelago, go up the powerful Sigatoka River towards the interior to meet traditional Melanesian villages and admire the treasures of the Koro Sea.

Christchurch and Fiordland, New Zealand 

You're now in one of the most world’s beautiful countries. With its stunning scenery, powerful thrills, geothermal wonders, rich Maori culture, famous vineyards and remarkable indigenous wildlife, curiously, you'll feel at home right away on the other side of the world in New Zealand. You land in Christchurch on the South Island, also known as Jade Island, before exploring the area around Queenstown, the adventure sports capital. There are numerous surprises along the way, all of them spectacular, including lakes, fjords, rivers and giant fern forests full of majestic beech trees. At night, in the sky, among countless new stars, you will be sure to see the benevolent constellation of the Southern Cross. Prominently displayed on the Kiwi flag, it will remind you that you are in the southern hemisphere, at the end of the world. Once again, your World Tour introduces you to another country – this one home to the All Blacks and Maoris, and a wealth of breathtaking nature!

Tasmania, Australia

Not even an hour's flight away, the mountainous contours of Tasmania appear in the region south-east of Australia, in the path of the famous Roaring Forties. Known as the 'Natural State' and ‘Island of Inspiration', it is largely classified as nature reserves, national parks and UNESCO World Heritage sites. You will land in Hobart, the capital mingling countryside and city, and the logistical base for the French icebreaker L'Astrolabe, which has been involved in most of our Antarctic expeditions to Adelie Land. You'll visit the residential site of Battery Point; Salamanca Square, the historic and cultural heart of Hobart; the stunning Museum of Old and New Art (MONA); the former prison centre of Port Arthur and the charming colonial village of Richmond. And as well as all these wonders, Tasmania will offer you its own inaccessible world during your stopover.

Perth, Australia

You've changed shores and are once again in a different world: Perth is cradled by the rollers of the Indian Ocean and dominated by the Darling Ranges. With Geographe Bay, Cap Naturaliste and more, when you look at the maps, you'll see references reminding you that Australia could have become French, as our greatest navigators left a deep-rooted legacy here. With the Swan River running through it, full of dolphins, Perth is famous as the sunniest city on the continent. A short distance away lies Fremantle (Freo to those who know it well), the carefree mecca of sailing and the America's Cup. On your trip down-under, you'll visit the historic centre with its buildings constructed by convicts, and the magnificent Kings Park overlooking Perth Water. You also have a date with the kangaroos and gentle koalas that live peacefully in Yanchep National Park. Alternatively, we suggest a trip to explore the incredible limestone concretions of the Pinnacles Desert and the extraordinary Wave Rock: a huge wave petrified in the rock 270 million years ago.

The Maldives

As you savour an imaginative lunch in the clouds, you have just crossed the Indian Ocean. Seen from above, this is an incredibly beautiful sight. You land in the Maldives: an idyllic archipelago scattered over 800 km south-west of Kerala, in India. Very soon you reach your luxurious island-hotel, walk around your villa, with its view of one of the world’s most beautiful lagoons – and in short, get your bearings, so as not to miss a single minute of the next three sunsets. You sip a cocktail on your terrace, hazily aware of the liquid soughing of palm trees mingled with the more distant sound of the surf on the coral reef. The air is warm, the breeze caressing. The ambiance? “No shoes, no news.” The surroundings? Powdery sand, an endless turquoise sea and a myriad multi-coloured fish. So to relax, will you choose snorkelling? The spa? A spot of reading? Or one of the many activities on offer? This is your Robinson Crusoe Island... in a paradise version.

Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania

Not even an hour's flight away, the mountainous contours of Tasmania appear in the region south-east of Australia, in the path of the famous Roaring Forties. Known as the 'Natural State' and ‘Island of Inspiration Island', it is largely classified as nature reserves, national parks and UNESCO World Heritage sites. You will land in Hobart, the capital mingling countryside and city, and the logistical base for the French icebreaker L'Astrolabe, which has been involved in most of our Antarctic expeditions to the Adelie Land. You'll visit the residential site of Battery Point; Salamanca Square, the historic and cultural heart of Hobart; the stunning Museum of Old and New Art (MONA); the former prison centre of Port Arthur and the charming colonial village of Richmond. And as well as all these wonders, Tasmania will offer you its own inaccessible world during your stopover.

Jerusalem, Israel

Onboard your private jet, just like the Queen of Saba who joined King Solomon, you will land in the Holy Land, filled with history and modernity. In the Citadel of King David, you will attend the spectacular sound and light show that retraces the city's thousand-year-old history. The next day, you will travel through the crossroads of religions that is Jerusalem. After a meditation at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and while evoking the Via Dolorosa, you will enter the Armenian quarter which will lead you to the Jewish quarter of the Cardo to the Wailing Wall. Of course you will also have a breathtaking view of the golden dome of the Al Aqsa Mosque, and the panorama will be even better from the top of the Mount of Olives. What more beautiful tribute could we have paid to the wonders of the world, if not this dazzling stopover ?
In tune with these emotions, we have chosen to celebrate together the end of this World Tour, during a gala dinner in a magical location.

YOUR PRIVATE JET

Flying! in Grand Luxury

The emotion which comes with a long-haul trip begins with the plane you board. Since this is a luxury Air Cruise,
Safrans du Monde has chosen the best by working with an exceptional company, a specialist of private aviation. Travelling the world in the comfort of your own fully equipped Airbus A340 is a unique experience. The kind of experience that offers you a refined cocoon and the warm service of its experienced crew.

This aircraft, initially designed for nearly 300 passengers, is equipped with only 100 wide and very comfortable seats, all of which turn into a perfectly horizontal bed. The 2 meter separation between each row and the configuration in duos will ensure calm and intimacy.

During your flights, always scheduled during the day, you will appreciate the complete entertainment system or doze off in the comfort of your own home in the clouds. Finally, for a moment of conviviality, you may choose to join the leather sofas of the lounge area for a cocktail or a glass of champagne in the sky. These moments of your trip of a lifetime are precious !
