Travel in luxury on the Four Seasons Private Jet Experience A321neo-LR
The price of this all-inclusive expedition covers everything from travel by private jet, hotels, and all meals and beverages (including select beer, wine and spirits aboard the jet and at group lunches and dinners), to ground transportation, all daily activities, top-of-the-line guides and every single tip. See below in the Expedition Details for a full list of what is included.
This expedition includes some Explorer Destinations—off-the-beaten-path stops chosen for their remote beauty, wildlife access or historical and cultural significance, rather than luxury lodging and dining.
Uncover the enchantment of seven timeless destinations across Asia on a 16-day adventure of a lifetime. Awe-inspiring world wonders, dynamic cities and idyllic islands await on this brand-new journey by private jet.
Tokyo is a city of contrasts where ancient temples and age-old markets stand alongside modern high-rises and a sparkling skyline.
Become a samurai for a day as you learn to draw, pose and swing your katana, the traditional sword used by ancient Japanese warriors. Tetsuro Shimaguchi, actor and head choreographer for Kill Bill: Volume One, guides your hand.

Make your own bonsai at the Shunkaen Bonsai Museum, operated by renowned bonsai artist Kunio Kobayashi.
Visit a local market with a professional chef to source fresh ingredients. Create a local dish with the guidance of your chef and afterwards, enjoy the fruits of your labor.

After a morning spent visiting beautiful temples, you’ll arrive at Tirta Empul, where a Balinese priest will perform a traditional water purification ritual to cleanse your body both physically and spiritually.
Learn the secrets of batik, a traditional Indonesian art form in which a pattern is drawn with hot wax onto fabric that is then dyed in brilliant colors.
Experience the power and beauty of the Ayung River while rafting on its Class 2 rapids through gorges studded with cascading waterfalls.
White-sand beaches, crystal-clear waters and island breezes set the tone for your idyllic escape to the Maldives. Upon arrival in Malé, take a speedboat ride to tiny Kuda Huraa, a private coral island, where an array of options awaits.
Recharge at the resort’s Island Spa, a haven of tranquility situated on its own tropical island. Discover the magic of an award-winning open-air lunar treatment underneath the night sky.
Take in panoramic views of the sunset over the Indian Ocean as you indulge in Champagne and appetizers on a private yacht cruise.
The Maldives are home to a variety of turtle species, including the Hawksbill and the Green Turtle. Join the resort’s resident marine biologist for an introduction to the lives of these beautiful creatures, visiting a nearby site where you have the opportunity to see the turtles up close.
Revel in the company of your fellow travelers at a specially prepared beach dinner, complete with fresh-caught seafood, local musicians and dancing under the stars.
Discover ancient temples, colonial architecture, verdant rice paddies and pristine beaches in Vietnam’s central coast. Step back in time in Hoi An Ancient Town, a 15th-century UNESCO World Heritage site along the Thu Bon River.
Step back in time as you walk the lantern-lit streets of this 15th-century UNESCO World Heritage site, lined with charming restaurants and artisan ateliers. Opt to meet a local tailor and get fitted for a bespoke silk dress or suit.
After a sunset cocktail, board vintage Vespas with a driver who will guide you through the city’s vibrant streets for a unique progressive dinner with stops at local eateries.
Gain special insight into everyday village life. Visit a local farmer’s house, try your hand at regional farming techniques and take a short bike ride to a small village nestled among seemingly endless rice fields. End with a traditional basket boat ride along the Thu Bon River, passing duck farms, fishermen and the Hoi An market on your way back to Hoi An town.
With snow-capped peaks, dramatic valleys and well-preserved culture, Bhutan has been wowing foreign visitors since it opened up to mass tourism in the 1970s. Get an authentic glimpse of daily life as you travel through scenic panoramas and experience Bhutanese traditions that have largely been preserved through years of isolation.
Visit the Paro Rinpung Dzong, known as the “Fortress on the Heap of Jewels,” whose massive buttressed walls tower over the town and are visible throughout the valley. Construction first began in 1644, and today it houses both the monastic body and district government offices.
In the country’s capital, Thimphu, tour the Dechen Phodrang Monastery, a monastic school that houses several important historical Bhutanese artifacts including 12th-century paintings monitored by UNESCO. Visit the National Textile Museum, which displays the country’s major weaving techniques, styles of local dress and locally made textiles.
Take a spectacular hike to Taktsang Palphug Monastery, known as the Tiger’s Nest. Perched 10,200 feet above sea level, it is one of the country’s most revered sites, named for the flying tigress that is said to have carried the Guru Rinpoche here in the eighth century. This is a strenuous hike.
On our way to Bangkok, we touch down for a special day stop in Siem Reap, allowing you to encounter the splendor of Angkor Wat with ease. Spend your time exploring the intricately carved towers of this world wonder, a temple complex that has endured for centuries.
Renowned both for their grand scale and elaborate carvings, the temples of Angkor stand as a testament to the Khmer people who constructed them nearly a thousand years ago. Accompanied by knowledgeable local guides, uncover the mysteries of this awe-inspiring temple complex.
Surrounded by the sounds of spiritual chants and the smell of incense, join saffron-clad monks in a private blessing ceremony at one of Angkor Wat’s smaller temples, and leave with a red thread around your wrist for good luck and prosperity.

See the colossal golden statue of the reclining Buddha up close at Wat Pho and admire the magnificent gilded buildings of the Grand Palace, where you have a special opportunity to see monks chanting in worship, before returning to our hotel on a private boat.
Take a longtail boat through Bangkok’s waterways into the Thonburi canals, where you can witness a peaceful way of life untouched by time, as you explore the houses on stilts, hidden temples and colorful markets with your local guide.
Accompanied by a chef, explore a local market and pick out fresh ingredients. Afterward, put your bounty to use in a hands-on cooking class, learning to prepare local Thai dishes and an herbal drink.
Embark on a journey of limitless potential on the new A321. The moment you board the private jet, you can breathe deep and leave your worries at the door. The hidden costs of international travel, such as transit time and airport delays, cut into quality vacation time.

This once-in-a-lifetime trip is the perfect way to spend quality time with your partner or to treat yourself to an adventure you’ll never forget. Adults of all ages take our trips, sometimes with a companion and sometimes by themselves. You will meet fellow guests with a curiosity about the world and come away with unforgettable memories and special friendships. It can also help you memorably mark a special occasion, whether it’s an anniversary, birthday, retirement, honeymoon or other milestone.
The minimum age to take our expeditions is 12, but we will consider younger guests on a case-by-case basis.
Shortly after booking, your guest services manager will mail you more details about your trip. This dedicated professional will be your main point of contact. He or she will provide you additional information leading up to your departure and is available to answer any questions via phone or email.
Prior to departure, you will receive a set of amenities for your trip. These may include a wheeled bag, a backpack, packing cubes and other useful travel items.
Our trips are a unique opportunity for like-minded travelers who are interested in learning and exploring to come together. The strong friendships forged on our trips continue long after guests return home and open the door to more travel adventures.
On expeditions with 48 or more travelers, daily activities will be divided into intimate groups of 6 to 12, so you never feel like you’re part of a crowd. On all trips, we offer numerous activity options at each destination such as: guided small-group sightseeing, curated shopping, and exclusive visits to museums and landmarks. Other examples include more active options like hikes or snorkeling, as well as unforgettable moments like an intimate guided exploration of Angkor Wat and our hot air balloon ride over the Serengeti.
TCS World Travel is committed to maintaining the quality and safety of the expedition for all participants. Overall, our trips give you the freedom to set your own pace. Each destination on every itinerary offers a variety of options with different activity levels. In some, you may only be walking for short periods of time and have more downtime between excursions, while in others, you may spend the entire day touring or walking over uneven terrain. You may, of course, choose to have a day off and relax at any location.
On all our expeditions, you can expect the following:
We will make reasonable efforts to accommodate participants with special needs; however, we cannot accommodate wheelchairs or walkers. If you require a slower pace, extra assistance, or the use of a cane or walking stick, arrangements can be made for private touring at each destination. Any extra cost for such arrangements will be the responsibility of the participant.
Trip Pace Definitions
These icons refer to the overall pace of the trip and not to specific activities at each destination. For example, an expedition classified as moderate or relaxed in overall pace can still offer active options such as hiking or snorkeling.
Destination Safety
Before TCS travels to any destination, we vet it for safety. We and our consultant medical advisors, Dr. Thomas Burke and the BostonMD team, closely monitor all health situations. We monitor the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), World Health Organization (WHO), the US Department of State, the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office and other third-party destination experts, and are consulting with our trusted local suppliers to evaluate travel to all locations featured on our expeditions.
The beauty of private jet travel is the ease of pivoting. If we need to change an itinerary for any reason, we can use our contacts in countries worldwide to assist us with making alternate arrangements for our group. These changes could be made well in advance of arrival or even while we are in the air en-route to a given location.
On-Trip Resources
On many expeditions, a trip physician will be available to consult with you at your request about general medical health issues such as upper-respiratory infections or gastro-intestinal upsets, which are not uncommon on this type of trip. Should you become seriously ill en route, the trip physician will be able to liaise with local physicians at your request and, if necessary, your medical providers back home, to assist in determining what further care you may require.
On-Trip Activity Level
This is an active program which requires a serious health assessment. There will be walking excursions at nearly every location, and you will need to climb stairs at some of the sites, as well as when you board and disembark the aircraft. There are some airports where you will be responsible for transporting your small wheeled overnight bag. We will have some early-morning departures and late-night activities, and may travel through multiple time zones.
To help counterbalance the carbon footprint that results from flying, starting in 2023 TCS World Travel is investing directly in measurable and meaningful sustainability projects that reduce the amount of carbon emissions in the atmosphere while positively impacting local communities and protecting local biodiversity.
Luggage is limited to two bags per person. The maximum weight per suitcase is 50 pounds (22 kg). All suitcases will be stored in the hold of the jet during our flights. You may also bring one carry-on bag per person, plus a camera bag or purse. All carry-on items must fit in the overhead bin. Please note that in some destinations you will need to carry your items up the jet stairs.
A dedicated journey staff member handles your luggage throughout the journey. In many destinations, our staff will transfer your luggage directly from the plane to your hotel room. In others, you may be required to walk your bags through customs before handing them over to our staff, but we take over from there. Secure vehicles accompanied by a dedicated journey staff member are used to transfer luggage between the airport and the hotel on arrival and departure. Often, your bag will be in your room by the time you’re checked into the hotel.
We suggest you bring comfortable clothing that can be layered. One of your most important items is a pair of comfortable shoes for walking. Our guests generally dress up a little for the welcome and farewell dinners, but this is their choice and is certainly not required. Also, you will find slightly more formal dining options at many of the hotels where we stay. For this reason, you may want to bring a few nicer outfits. A more detailed packing list with specific clothing recommendations will be sent to you closer to the departure date. While you’re packing, please keep in mind that laundry services are available at most of our hotels. We also recommend you leave extra space in your suitcase to bring home souvenirs of your journey.
TCS World Travel is committed to safeguarding the security of its guests on every expedition. The company has implemented a set of security processes throughout the journey – from before guests depart to when they touch down in a destination. These processes have been fine-tuned over two decades and more than 300 private jet expeditions and thousands of custom trips to help ensure peace of mind for everyone involved.
All guests must have valid passports to participate in this program. Passports must be valid at least six months beyond the end date of your expedition. If visas are required for the expedition, a visa kit will be sent to you approximately between 6 and 3 months prior to departure depending on destination requirements. We work with an expediting service that helps make getting your required visas easier. Although you’re still required to fill out your visa forms and cover the application costs, they will review the application to make sure it’s complete and liaise with the necessary consulates and embassies to process your visas.
We pre-fill your customs and immigrations forms at every stop—all you have to do is sign. Where possible, our guests enjoy special privileges, such as expedited customs and immigration formalities. We may have a dedicated customs counter for our group and are occasionally allowed to go through without individual clearance.
The price of your expedition incorporates large items like the jet, hotels, transportation and meals, but it also includes many other things, such as activities, top-of-the-line guides, private dinners in restaurants, beverages and every single tip (guides, restaurants, hotel staff, drivers, etc.). We also supply you with all the bottled water you can drink all day every day. We even provide you with postcards that we mail for you—all you have to do is write.
