Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts has unveiled Coastlines & Culture, a new around-the-world Private Jet Experience scheduled for May 6–26, 2028. The 23-day itinerary connects nine destinations across Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Europe for a maximum of 48 guests, threading together several stops that have never before appeared on a Four Seasons Private Jet program.

The Route

The journey departs San Francisco before crossing the Pacific to Seoul, then continues to Hangzhou — where guests join tea masters at the Meijuawu Tea Plantation and visit the centuries-old Jinshan Temple — with a day excursion into Shanghai led by history expert Patrick Cranley. From China, the itinerary moves to Sri Lanka for an immersive visit to a private cinnamon estate, tracing Ceylon cinnamon from harvest through processing. Zanzibar follows, anchored by a stay at the forthcoming Four Seasons Resort Zanzibar, where Swahili heritage and spice traditions frame the island experience. Guests then continue to Sharm El Sheikh for a private yacht charter on the Red Sea before the route concludes on the French Riviera at Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat, A Four Seasons Hotel, and in the English countryside at Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire, which includes exclusive access to Hampton Court Palace.

New Properties, Dedicated Team

Several properties are featured on a Private Jet itinerary for the first time: Four Seasons Hotel San Francisco, Four Seasons Hotel Hangzhou at West Lake, Four Seasons Resort Sharm El Sheikh, Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire, and the forthcoming Four Seasons Resort Zanzibar. Each departure is supported by a dedicated Journey Team comprising a Concierge, Executive Chef, and Journey Physician embedded throughout the trip — a service model that underscores the hospitality brand's approach to extending its on-property standards into the air and across ground experiences.

"With Coastlines & Culture, we're able to bring together destinations rarely experienced within a single journey, creating moments of awe and discovery," said Marc Speichert, Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer at Four Seasons. The program is operated and sold by TCS World Travel, with flight operations handled by Titan Airways Limited aboard a custom-configured Airbus A321neo-LR.

For operators tracking ultra-luxury travel demand, the program reflects continued appetite at the top end of the hospitality market for deeply curated, food- and culture-forward itineraries — a trend relevant to luxury hospitality and experiential dining as guests increasingly seek access and authenticity over standard resort stays. The culinary thread running through each stop, from Ceylon cinnamon estates to Zanzibar's spice heritage, also speaks to the broader intersection of food tourism and high-end travel shaping programming decisions across the sector.

Four seats on three 2027 itineraries — International Intrigue, New World Icons, World of Adventures, and Ancient Explorer — remain available for guests looking to travel before the 2028 launch.
