Of all the journeys Abercrombie & Kent founder Geoffrey Kent has planned in the past 50 years Around the World with Geoffrey Kent by Private Jet: The Tropics to the Arctic (May 1–26, 2016) may be the apex. Kent personally hosts the almost month-long journey aboard a chartered private jet equipped with 50 fully lie-flat, first-class seats, leading a tour showcasing destinations not yet on the radar of most travelers.

Beginning in the tropics, with eye-opening visits to Colombia, French Polynesia and the Solomon Islands, the itinerary continues to the Philippines (one of the best places on Earth to see whale sharks). Then it’s on to the Mongolian Steppes where the landscape has changed little since the days of Genghis Khan, followed by visits to Samarkand and St. Petersburg. The adventure ends in Greenland, at a time of year when the sun never sets.

The small group size of no more than 50 guests allows for an itinerary packed with privileged access and invitation-only events such as a traditional bride-price ceremony in the Solomon Islands, a private street market in Colombia, and a special presentation of the Naadam Games, Mongolia’s traditional contests of archery, wrestling and horsemanship, all arranged exclusively for Abercrombie & Kent’s Private Jet guests.

Also for 2016, Abercrombie & Kent will once again offer its best-selling private jet journey, Around the World by Private Jet: Islands, Savannas & the Amazon (Oct. 17–Nov. 11, 2016), designed by Geoffrey Kent and featuring some of the most remote places on Earth.
