Eight stops in 23 days around the world

The journey will begin on 4 May 2028 at the Four Seasons Hotel San Francisco, with a welcome dinner at City Hall. The jet will then cross the Pacific, Asia, the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean on its way to England.

Five addresses will feature on the jet’s programme for the first time: San Francisco, Hangzhou, Sharm El Sheikh, Hampshire and Zanzibar. For Marc Speichert, Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer of Four Seasons, curating a new itinerary ‘requires immense thought and care’, and Coastlines & Culture brings together destinations ‘rarely experienced within a single journey’.

Seoul and Hangzhou, an Asia of tea and monks

In Seoul, at the Four Seasons Hotel Seoul, the stay will include tea with a monk at Jingwansa Temple in Bukhansan National Park. Next will come Gyeongbokgung Palace, the teahouses of Insadong, Gwangjang Market, the lanes of Ikseon-dong and the Leeum Samsung Museum of Art.

At the Four Seasons Hotel Hangzhou at West Lake, guests will join tea masters in Meijiawu, a village of Longjing green tea plantations. A monk will show them around Jinshan Temple, which has 1,600 years of history and is tied to the Legend of the White Snake, before the Chenghuangge Pavilion and the residence of the merchant Hu Xueyan. A day in Shanghai, reached by high-speed train, will take in the Bund, Yu Garden and the Old City with the historian Patrick Cranley.

Cinnamon in Sri Lanka, spices in Zanzibar

Sri Lanka has no Four Seasons, so guests will stay at Cape Weligama, an independent hotel chosen for this stop. On the programme: a private Ceylon cinnamon estate, from harvest to quills and oil, followed by lunch overlooking the hills. Optional extras include the elephants of Udawalawe National Park, a private flight to Dambulla and Sigiriya Rock, both UNESCO-listed, or Galle Fort and a tasting of arrack, the local spirit.

In Zanzibar, off the coast of Tanzania, the stop will depend on an opening: the Four Seasons Resort Zanzibar, in Pongwe, has not yet opened. If it is not ready in time, Four Seasons will host guests at the Four Seasons Resort Mauritius at Anahita, in Mauritius. Should the stop go ahead, it will follow the Swahili heritage and the spice route: Mtoni Palace, the carved doors of Stone Town, lunch on a spice plantation and a sunset cruise aboard a dhow, the traditional sailing boat, with a sommelier. We featured this resort among the 13 Four Seasons hotels expected in 2027.

Diving and a Bedouin evening in Sharm El Sheikh

In Egypt, the Four Seasons Resort Sharm El Sheikh offers a kilometre of private beach and four pools between the Sinai and the Red Sea. Guests will set off on a half-day private yacht cruise, lunch included. Divers will have 76 sites to choose from, from Tiran Island to the Shark and Yolanda reefs at Ras Mohammed, and the day will end with a Bedouin evening under the stars.

Cap-Ferrat, then Windsor: the European finale

Back in Europe, the jet will stop at the Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat, A Four Seasons Hotel, set in grounds of around 7 hectares with a seawater infinity pool and the Michelin-starred Le Cap, one of the addresses on our list of France’s Palace hotels. A private yacht will take guests to Cannes; optional extras include a helicopter to Saint-Tropez, a vintage car along the Corniche to the Plateau Saint-Michel or a speedboat to Monaco.

The journey will end on 26 May at the Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire, a restored 18th-century manor house with an equestrian centre and a spa of around 2,500 m² set in former stables. The press release promises exclusive access to Hampton Court Palace; the journey page also mentions Windsor Castle (State Apartments, St George’s Chapel), polo, Goodwood and a farewell dinner.

48 flat-bed seats and a doctor on board

The aircraft is an Airbus A321neo-LR, fully reconfigured for 48 guests: 48 Italian leather seats, each with two metres of personal space, converting into lie-flat beds with footrests, plus an onboard lounge. An executive chef, a concierge and a Journey Physician will travel with passengers, along with a luggage concierge and a crew trained to Four Seasons standards. The programme is run and sold by TCS World Travel, and the aircraft is operated by Titan Airways.

From €212,200 per person, double occupancy

The journey is priced from around €212,200 per person in a double room (USD 238,000, at the ECB rate of 10/11/2026: 1.1214), with a single supplement of around €21,200 (USD 23,800), according to the official page checked on 10 November 2026. Coastlines & Culture joins the first 2028 journeys announced on 13 May 2026, including Uncharted Discovery and New World Icons.

For 2027, a few places remain on four journeys, from International Intrigue (3 to 23 March) to Ancient Explorer (3 to 25 September). Aman is also preparing two private jet expeditions for 2028 with Remote Lands.
