MELBOURNE, Australia – 27 May 2025 – Luxury Escapes, one of the world's fastest growing luxury travel companies, has unveiled a new high-flying tour: Ultimate Europe by Private Charter Flight, an incredible 25-day experience to Europe's most iconic destinations.  

Departing in April 2026, the trip will take-off between nine 'bucket list' cities including Prague and Porto, on Luxury Escapes' privately chartered A320 aircraft.  

From check-in to checkout, guests will be able to channel their inner Kardashian starting with private airport terminal check-in area, personal porters on arrival at luxury accommodation and all-inclusive culinary adventures to please the pickiest of palates.

Luxury Escapes has created the private charter tour in direct response to the growing demand for unique, meaningful travel, with customer research showing that over 70% of Australians are more likely to indulge in a luxury holiday if it goes “beyond the ordinary”.

“This new tour is the most ambitious trip we have created to date, a seamless collection of once-in-a-lifetime European moments with some serious bougieness,” said Adam Schwab, Co-Founder and CEO of Luxury Escapes. 

“Ease, excitement and exceptional value are at the heart of this tour because that's what our customers tell us they want. Most charter experiences are simply out of reach price wise, but our scale has meant Luxury Escapes has created a world class private charter experience for literally a fraction of what other operators charge,” Schwab said. 

He added, “Many of the routes we will fly aren't offered as direct flights by commercial airlines so flying on their own exclusive plane between some of the most extraordinary places in Europe will allow our travellers to make the most of the amazing outings hosted by local experts in each destination.”

Designed by Luxury Escapes' expert in-house team, the journey will strike a balance between curated structure and spontaneous discovery and feature daily "wow moments" with five-star flair — from an exclusive welcome event in a historic Prague castle to a luxurious desert camp in Morocco, and an intimate vineyard dinner in the heart of Champagne, France.

Tour highlights include:

• Exclusive use of a Luxury Escapes chartered A320-200 aircraft between Prague, Bergen, San Sebastian, Porto, Marrakesh, Champagne, Sicily, Dubrovnik, and Istanbul
• Options for Michelin-starred dining on top of the all-inclusive local culinary experiences, from secret street food tours to gourmet vineyard dinners
• Flåm Railway journey through Norway's dramatic fjords
• A Pintxo tour in San Sebastian to explore the city's famed bars and sample Basque tapas
• Agafay Desert luxury camp in Morocco
• Beachfront hotel in Taormina, Sicily with a private beach surrounded by carved rock
• Stay in a vineyard hotel in the Champagne region with vineyard tours and wine tastings at local producers
• Casablanca themed gala dinner in Marrakech
• Farewell celebration at the iconic Çırağan Palace Kempinski Istanbul (former Ottoman Imperial Palace)

With travel preferences shifting post-pandemic, April is becoming the new July for Australians, with fewer crowds, great weather and better value.  

While most private charter tours start from $10,000 a day, the Luxury Escapes tour is priced from $29,999* per person twin share ($1,200 per person per day) for the 25-day journey across all eight flights.

The Luxury Escapes Ultimate Europe by Private Charter Tour is limited to 140 people, with a fleet of small luxury coaches taking a maximum of 25 people at a time on their in-destination adventures.
