Four Seasons can look after you for your next round-the-world trip :mrgreen:.

Personally (and seriously), I think the beds look a bit down-market for that sort of trip, but the side trips sound good.

Maybe when I win lotto...

Do you mean the seats/beds onboard? None of the flights would be that long. I guess the flights are not really the focus of this tour.
 
It sounds and looks amazing! But just a tiny bit out of my price range;)

But, I also find it strange, (or different) in these days of celebrity chefs, how 3* Michelin (or Top 100 San Pellegrino) is a massive marketing tool. Back in the 70's, 80's and even the 90's, a 3* Michelin chef would run his tiny restaurant with maybe 40 or 50 pax capacity. You'd have book 12 months in advance and that was pretty much it.

Now, just wait 5 minutes and Rene or Heston or Joe Bloggs will appear in your city or on your TV screens!

(for the record, only been to two 3* Michelin....Both in the 90's...lol, Heston's Fat Duck was only 2* when I visited 2011 )
 
Luxury jet - 2-2 seating * fermented nordic seaweed / " free-to-take-home iPads and Bose noise-cancelling headphones" = I honestly don't know what to think.

(Wait, does that mean the iPads on my recent QF flight weren't free to take home? Oops...)
 
But, that jet seems to be a fairly ordinary J class. No suites! For the cash outlay expected, I'd wager I'd be disappointed after the fanfare waned!
