Earlier this year, Royal Caribbean’s nine-month Ultimate World Cruise made waves, with its itinerary including stops at iconic destinations around the world. But if the water isn’t your speed, the Four Seasons is taking to the skies to give travelers the opportunity to visit dozens of destinations with weeks-long jet experiences. Utilizing the Four Seasons Private Jet and the hotel chain’s resorts around the world, the adventure is at the top of Rove & Roam luxury travel advisor Caitlin Stolzenthaler’s bucket list.

“I love the idea of this because I’d be able to see so many amazing locations on my bucket list—some that are slightly more difficult to get to—all in one trip,” she says.

In 2025 the Four Seasons will offer nine different itineraries, from a 24-day Ancient Explorer trip to 10 destinations, including Easter Island and the Pyramids of Giza, to a 13-day African Wonders trip, which is the only family-friendly itinerary offered. Stolzenthaler’s chosen excursion is called International Intrigue. The trip starts in Seattle and goes to eight destinations over 24 days. From relaxing in the crystal blue waters of the Maldives to exploring the African savanna in the heart of the Serengeti, along with other destinations like Budapest, Kyoto, Marrakech and more, the itinerary hits many must-see cities and offers a plethora of experiences that allow travelers to get a feel for the culture, traditions and scenery of each place.

“Being able to see many destinations in such a short time period, while staying at Four Seasons resorts and not having to deal with the hassle of flying, makes this trip incomparable,” Stolzenthaler says. “Everything is taken care of by the Four Seasons staff. All you have to do is show up and enjoy yourself.”

The 48-seat private plane features a 24/7 concierge and an executive chef, as well as an onboard lounge area, a health physician and plenty of in-air experiences to keep guests occupied during long stretches of flying.

“Because there are only 48 seats, these trips do tend to book up far in advance,” Stolzenthaler says. “But the standard price includes everything from the many excursions offered in every destination to each chef-crafted meal.”

Stolzenthaler is finding that more and more of her clients are actually keeping a bucket list and wanting to make these once-in-a-lifetime experiences happen, a task she’s happy to assist with. But no matter the destination or journey getting there, she says there is no time like the present to make the jump and take the trip.

“Travel tends to challenge us and push us outside of our comfort zone, which is such a beautiful thing,” she says. “And there’s a good chance that next year it will be more crowded and more expensive.”
