AROUND THE WORLD BY PRIVATE JET: A NORTHERN ODYSSEY

Experience diversity of both the geographic and cultural kind—from vast deserts to arctic archipelagos, bustling cities to charming villages. Along the way, you’ll visit spectacular monasteries, mosques, temples, and churches. You’ll walk in the footsteps of some of the most famous—and infamous—rulers and conquerors of all time. And not only will you encounter the historically significant, but also the unique and the unusual—such as chapels carved out of rock salt, a global seed vault, and the world’s second oldest underground tunnel. This is truly one of the most unforgettable journeys you could ever undertake.
