Pan Am could be on to something with this whole
nostalgia thing.
The airline has set a second 2025 voyage tracing the legendary
Southern and Northern Transatlantic Routes pioneered by Pan American World
Airways.
Traveling by privately chartered jet with
accommodations at a curated selection of iconic hotels, the newly added
12-day voyage—again limited to 50 guests in a Boeing 757 aircraft
configured with all Business Class lie-flat seating—will depart June 16-28, 2025,
roundtrip from New York City.
The first
trip announced earlier this summer departs June 27-July 9, 2025, with both journeys officially licensed by Pan Am Brands and supported by
the Pan Am Museum Foundation.
Pan Am was one of the world's great airlines in the fledgling
days of commercial aviation.
Inspired by the pioneering spirit of the early Pan Am
years, these “Tracing the Transatlantic” Pan Am commemorative
journeys fly round trip to Europe from New York City, closely following the
routes of the original Flying Boats with stops in Bermuda, Lisbon, Marseille,
London and Foynes in Ireland.
“Since 1927, Pan Am has left an indelible mark
on the world and that mark is reflected to this day in the enthusiasm and
strong bookings for our first departure,” said Craig Carter, CEO of Pan
American World Airways and owner of Pan Am Brands. “These journeys, tracing
both the original Pan Am Southern Transatlantic Route between New York and
Marseilles and the Northern Transatlantic route between London and New York,
have been painstakingly designed to honor the unmatched legacy of Pan Am and I
look forward to welcoming guests onboard in 2025.”
The program will be operated by Bartelings, a company
specializing in touring worldwide by private aircraft, and Criterion Travel, a
specialist in developing and operating tours and cruises for U.S. affinity
organizations.
It begins and ends with gala evenings at the
newly renovated Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City. Along the way, guests
will stay in other hotels that are among the world’s best, including the
Rosewood in Bermuda, the Four Seasons Ritz in Lisbon, the Savoy in London, and
Dromoland Castle in Ireland.
