Still further west, here is Fiji, a pure tropical Eden proud of its Melanesian culture. Even further to the end of the Pacific, you arrive in Christchurch, New Zealand, the quintessence of one of the most beautiful countries on the planet, which the Kiwis have proudly proclaimed «the edge of the world». Off you go ! You join your crew and your seat on board: today in just 3 hours we offer you the inaccessible in Hobart, Tasmania, classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its incomparable nature. Then, still in Australia, but on the Indian Ocean coast, Perth welcomes you. You will appreciate its nearby vineyards, its natural curiosities and its very cool «Australian way of life». Beyond, in the blue of the Indian Ocean, the paradise archipelago of the Maldives is hidden, so will you laze around ? Enjoy the wellness opportunities ? Or go for a snorkeling exploration ? During these 3 days, you will have time to savor every pleasure before reaching the untamed nature and unique wildlife of Tanzania where safaris await.

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, champagne and the Chef’s imaginative cuisine... In the late afternoon, you arrive in Mexico City, where the bustling capital welcomes you for three nights. Soon the Paseo de la Reforma avenue leads you to the Palacio National, where your guide will retrace the history of the Mexican people, admirably illustrated in Diego Rivera’s famous frescoes. Does the cathedral look a bit askew? That’s normal on these volcanic lands, but there are also havens of peace, away from the noise of this teeming city. Visit the fabulous National Museum of Anthropology on the outskirts of the Chapultepec grove. Then, the floating gardens of Xochimilco for an enchanting and colorful stroll along its canals. Next stop? The basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe, where 20 million Mexicans come to contemplate the sacred shroud of the Virgin each year. You also have a rendezvous with the remarkable pre-Columbian civilisation and its pyramids in the old 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!

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 world’s most beautiful countries: Stunning scenery & intense emotions, geothermal wonders, rich Maori culture, famous vineyards and remarkable indigenous wildlife. You will feel at home right away on the other side of the world in New Zealand. You land in Christchurch on the South Island, the most southern point of Polynesia, before exploring the area around Queenstown, the adventure sports capital. There are numerous surprises along the way, all of them spectacular, including fiords, lakes, 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 constellation of the Southern Cross. Prominently displayed on the Kiwi flag, a reminder that you are in the southern hemisphere, at the end of the world. Once again, your World Tour introduces you to another country – home to the All Blacks and Maoris, and 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 or Serengeti National Park, 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 !
