TCS World Travel is back with all-new around-the-world itineraries. By Stacey Leasca
This week, the tour operator and private jet expedition company announced its 2023 schedule of global journeys, which includes experiences on six continents.
“The pent-up demand for travel is like nothing we have seen before. In 2023 we have added five departure dates alone for our Around the World itinerary and eight other unique journeys,” Shelley Cline, president of TCS World Travel, shared in a statement provided to Travel + Leisure. “Those who join us on these extraordinary trips will benefit not only from our team’s decades of experience leading private jet expeditions but also from our learnings during the successful operation of the weeks-long, multi-country jet expeditions that we have executed in the last few months.”
All about the new around-the-world private jet itineraries
In total, the company shared nine itineraries spanning the globe. With each trip, guests will travel aboard a private luxury aircraft, including the company’s brand new custom-configured A321neo.
The new jet is configured for 52 guests and ensures both their comfort and privacy thanks to its dimensions as the largest cabin by height and width of any single-aisle aircraft on the market, TCS shared. The plane also comes with custom-made leather seats with an advanced electric recline system and extra-large lavatories with full-length mirrors so you can always look your best before landing. Onboard, guests will also find an 18-member staff, including a dedicated chef and physician, to take care of their every need.
Each of the trips is an all-inclusive endeavour, including the flights, accommodations, ground transport, and more. Check out a bit of each of the trips to choose from below.
