PARIS, FRANCE – 14th April 2026: Safrans du Monde, the French travel designer renowned for its exclusive private air cruises, is delighted to presents one of its most prestigious travel experiences: the 2026 World Tour Grands Classiques air cruise, an extraordinary 24-day journey around the world by private jet, from October 22 to November 14, 2026 (Paris departure).
Across an itinerary that span iconic cities and legendary sites on every continent, Safrans du Monde elevates the Art of Travel by blending unparallelled luxury, thoughtfully curated experiences, exceptional accommodations, refined cuisine, impeccable service, and an effortless elegance – true expressions of the French Art de Vivre.
Guests will embark on a once-in-a-lifetime journey around the world in the elegance and comfort of a private jet, departing from Paris and visiting nine breathtaking destinations including Rio de Janeiro, Peru, Easter Island, French Polynesia, Australia, Vietnam, Cambodia, India, and Jordan. At each stop, travelers stay in the finest hotels and palaces and enjoy exclusive experiences led by carefully selected experts. More than a succession of prestigious destinations, each voyage reveals the richness and diversity of the cultures encountered, whether it is a first exploration or a rediscovery from a new perspective.
This extraordinary odyssey is marked by exclusive gala evenings and rare, meaningful encounters, all set against an atmosphere of quiet refinement and genuine warmth. From the timeless majesty of the Taj Mahal, Angkor Wat, and the Sydney Opera House to the world’s most coveted hidden treasures, every destination is a carefully curated revelation: a seamless blend of wonder, beauty, and discovery.
The Ultimate in Private Aviation
“This unique experience is all about fostering exceptional moments for our guests” says Safrans du Monde’s CEO, Guy Bigiaoui. “As passengers explore the incredible destinations and enjoy their itinerary, they are given the chance to discover a diversity of landscapes and civilizations across the world, all while receiving the highest standards of private aviation service while on board.”
These exceptional journeys take place aboard a fully privatized, custom-configured Airbus A340 featuring a spacious cabin and fully lie-flat seats, each separated by 6 feet between each row to ensure privacy and optimal comfort. On board, the experience evokes the world’s great luxury Maisons and guests are pampered by an attentive crew. A lounge area with leather seating invites guests to relax and connect, while daytime-only flights are thoughtfully planned to minimize jet lag and fatigue. Thanks to personalized service, generous space, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere, every journey blends luxury with exceptional comfort.
Each departure is limited to just 50 guests onboard an aircraft designed to hold twice as many, ensuring rare intimacy and complete care from Paris, covering all formalities, transfers, and personal assistance throughout the journey.
A Private Chef onboard
A World Tour is also a celebration of flavors. While Safrans du Monde handpicks the most remarkable restaurants at each stop for an authentic taste of local cuisine, every flight is designed to be a precious culinary moment. Chef Paul Caussé creates a selection of unique menus, complemented by a three-course offering inspired by a fusion of the cuisine from the previous destination and the next one.
On board, the Chef offers a host of thoughtful touches, from introducing guests to different spices discovered along the journey to simply sharing stories about his craft and his passion. A highlight not to be missed: the signature “Gâteau de Voyage” the iconic cake of the air cruises, its recipe evolving at each destination to reflect the distinctive ingredients of every country visited.
A lifestyle universe dedicated to French Excellence
Safrans du Monde brings together the finest expressions of French craftsmanship, partnering with leading experts for its private jet journeys, whether in the realms of gastronomy or well-being. These prestigious partners share the same values and desire to showcase French excellence in the art of travel : Sturia, France’s Aquitaine-based caviar producer, the “grand cru caviar” label of Sturgeon, France’s first and foremost producer, and a pioneer in sturgeon farming; Sothys Paris, the benchmark of French excellence in professional spa and institute care, accompanies passengers throughout their journey with personalized treatment kits including the saffron-based anti-aging line crafted from saffron grown in Quercy, a nod to this exclusive partnership; Harry’s Bar Paris, the oldest cocktail bar in Europe and a legendary address on Rue Daunou in Paris, run by the Franco-American MacElhone family since 1911, has created the signature “Safrans du Monde” cocktail offered exclusively on Private Jet Journeys.
