Jet-Set Journeys: A Luxurious Odyssey Around the Globe
I’ve always wanted to travel completely round the world and it seemed a perfect time to do it to celebrate a 50th birthday. We fly direct with Qatar Airways to Auckland, spend 10 days there across the North Island then back to Auckland to fly to the South Pacific, crossing the international date line so we leave New Zealand on a Sunday and arrive on Saturday. We spend another 10 days across Tahiti, Moorea and Bora Bora in French Polynesia / South Pacific before travelling onto Easter Island. We finish our trip in Santiago and Valparaiso in Chile, then fly back to the United Kingdom with British Airways.
