Abercrombie and Kent’s 23-day global trip aboard a private Boeing 757 will take off on May 5.
The luxurious itinerary starts at $136,000 per person and includes stops in Italy, India, and Nepal.
Around-the-world trips, specifically itineraries aboard cruise ships, have been selling fast.

Since the resumption of travel amid COVID-19, travelers have been craving longer and pricier vacations, especially itineraries that circumnavigate the world.

Passengers on the 757 will also have access to an open bar, noise-canceling headphones, meal services, and in-flight entertainment that “complements” the travel itinerary, according to Abercrombie and Kent’s press release.

A physician will also be traveling with the group, and all travelers must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

And the meals — all of which will be included — will be just as luxurious. How does dinner at a private auto race in Abu Dhabi sound?
