Is this the ULTIMATE getaway? The £178,000 round-the-world holiday where guests fly by private jet, sail on luxury yachts and stay in some of the world's most exclusive hotels

Forget airport queues, cramped seats and fighting for overhead locker space.Four Seasons is offering a rather more extravagant way to see the world – a 23-day round-the-world adventure by private jet, with luxury yachts, spectacular hotels and exclusive experiences thrown in.But this is not a holiday for the faint-hearted – or the faint-walleted. The trip, departing on May 6, 2028, costs an eye-watering €213,000 (£178,000) per person.Called Coastlines & Culture, the itinerary takes guests from San Francisco to Seoul, Hangzhou, Sri Lanka, Zanzibar and Egypt before the glamour of the French Riviera.And there's little chance of a run-of-the-mill sightseeing tour along the way. In China, guests will join tea masters for a private experience at Meijiawu Tea Plantation, while a stop in Sri Lanka promises an exclusive visit to a private cinnamon estate.From there, the jet heads to Zanzibar and Sharm El Sheikh, before whisking guests to Cap-Ferrat for a stay at the legendary Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat, A Four Seasons Hotel.The French Riviera stop also comes with a privately chartered yacht excursion to Cannes – because, naturally, even the boat trips are private. Four Seasons has curated a 23-day global journey on board a private jet You'll take flight on a private flight for the Coastlines & Culture journeyA privately chartered yacht excursion to Cannes tops things off before the itinerary's final chapter in Hampshire, including exclusive access to Hampton Court Palace.
