The appeal of luxury, curated travel to a series of glamorous global destinations is easy enough to grasp. We need only consider the boom in upmarket cruise tours of recent years to see that appetites for opulent guided tourism are stronger than ever.

What are private jet tours?

Private jet tours up the ante even further than ocean-based cruises, offering a small group of guests a globetrotting itinerary of sumptuous destinations, all transported between stops in the comfort of a luxurious chartered plane. 

In essence, you’ll join an exclusive party of fellow travelers, touching down in unforgettable places, from beachside resorts to steamy jungle temples; snowy mountain vistas to dramatic deserts; futuristic smart cities to unforgettable travel landmarks. When you’re not being shown around these amazing sites, you can enjoy all the amenities of a five-star hotel in the sky - with some private jet tours also offering stops at luxury hotels on the ground, too.

Unlike traditional travel, you’ll avoid the well-known hassles of commercial flying. So say goodbye to layovers, overcrowded airports, lost luggage and rigid schedules. Instead, it’s time to enjoy the trip of a lifetime, with direct access to remote and iconic destinations aboard a state-of-the-art aircraft.

The ascendancy of private jet tourism

In 2025, the demand for private jet tours is surging, continuing the post-COVID trend that’s driving a growing desire for personalized travel experiences. The private jet sector has responded in lockstep, evolving further and faster to cater to discerning travelers who seek transformative journeys that blend comfort, culture and once-in-a-lifetime sights.

Overall, the stats suggest that the private aviation industry has experienced significant growth post-pandemic. In the US, for example, the sector was valued at over $21 billion in 2024, and is expected to rise to $24 billion in 2025 - partly driven by an increase in business travel more broadly, and the increasing concentration of wealth into the hands of the super-rich globally. 

In Australia, private jet travel has increased by a remarkable 28% since 2020, accounting for 13% of domestic travel in 2024. Some have argued that this demonstrates how the appeal of private jet tourism is extending beyond the hyper wealthy. Indeed, some new contenders in the market are opening up the playing field with more affordable options for jet-setters.

The best private jet tour operators in 2025

A shortlist of luxury travel companies dominate the private jet tour sector, each offering distinctive itineraries and unique offerings for passengers.

Or for those who fancy a putt in spectacular surroundings, opt for their ‘Golf Around the World’ package - taking in the whole nine yards (or 18 holes) on stunning golf courses from Sydney to Singapore, Phuket to Dubai, Malaga and Miami.

A flying feast for the senses: Safrans du Monde

The allure of the senses has long been at the heart of French culture. Safrans du Monde continue the tradition with pride and panache, offering guests a formidable blend of hedonistic discovery and thoughtful reflection via their bespoke travel itineraries.

A Safrans du Monde private jet tour might appeal to francophones in particular, with departures from Paris or the US depending on the trip. ‘The World Tour Grands Classiques’ 2025 and 2026 editions fly from both sites, giving international travelers convenient flexibility. As the name suggests, the emphasis is on grandeur, with iconic and exotic destinations as far-flung as Rio de Janeiro, French Polynesia, Cambodia, Jordan and, of course, Paris itself.

The one for glam adventurers: Captain's Choice

Alongside private jet tours, you’ll find cruise ship and train expeditions on offer - but the range of skybound itineraries really stands out, with some truly impressive stop-offs.  

For example, consider the nostalgic appeal of their ‘Pioneering Spirit of the Kangaroo Route’ - a two-week trip that traces the original 1947 Qantas air route, taking in seven iconic cities. You’ll jet from Sydney to Singapore, and on to Kolkata, Colombo, Cairo, Rome, Toulouse and, finally, London.

Alternatively, choose a private jet tour of a specific region of interest, like the ‘Latin America and Atlantic Islands’ tour, or ‘The Spirit and Colors of India’ or ‘Ancient and Remote Wonders of China’ entries. 

If the prospect of combining planes and trains appeals (plus a few automobiles, naturally), check out the ‘African Adventures’ tour, which includes three nights in a sumptuous Rovos Rail carriage out of Pretoria, South Africa, heading for the iconic views of Cape Town. As part of this multi-transport jaunt, you’ll take in the mighty Pyramids of Giza, the unforgettable Victoria Falls and the awe-inspiring gorillas of Rwanda’s national parks.

The new, affordable kid in town: Luxury Escapes

Luxury Escapes have carved out a reputation as a creme-de-la-creme online travel agent, and 2026 will mark the arrival of their latest boundary-pushing offering: A 25-day European tour by private jet, for a price far more reasonable than many rival operators.

The company’s ‘Ultimate Europe’ package covers nine bucket list destinations. Beginning in the storied streets of beautiful old Prague, the flight path will progress to fjord-cradled Bergen in Norway; Spain’s mouth-watering culinary city of San Sebastian; Portugal’s resplendent Porto and on into the desert dunes of Morocco’s Agafay Desert. Next up, you’ll marvel at the rolling fields and stocked cellars of the famous Champagne in France, the dazzling clifftops of Taormina in Sicily, Croatia’s medieval, cinematic citadel of Dubrovnik and, finally, the gateway to the east that is the glorious Istanbul.

The word on the grapevine is that this tour may be a one-off - though if it’s a big hit for Luxury Escapes, it could open the door to a more affordable brand of private jet travel. So don’t miss out - if you’ve ever wanted to hop your way between some of Europe’s most glamorous locations, this could be the best option for doing it in style and on budget.
