Australia’s newest travel company Constellation Journeys last week revealed plans to launch all-inclusive global adventures taking guests by privately chartered Qantas Boeing 747 to some of the world’s most amazing destinations.
The company today unveiled its first journey brochure and inaugural itinerary, departing Sydney in April 2018 and visiting seven spectacular global destinations: Hanoi, India, The Serengeti, Marrakech, New York, Havana and Tahiti.
Founder and Managing Director Dan Kotzmann said his company would meet demand from a growing number of Australians seeking streamlined access to exotic travel experiences.
“An important trend in tourism is the emergence of new opportunities for experiential, educational and active adventure travellers, regardless of age.
“Australians are great travellers, undeterred by distance and willing to travel far to experience the extraordinary. Constellation Journeys will make the extraordinary accessible, offering discovery and exploration in comfort and style.
“Having our own dedicated aircraft supported by the operational integrity of Qantas, allows us to set the agenda, travelling where and when we want to go.”
Constellation Journeys’ chartered 747 will be crewed by two Qantas Captains and a First Officer, 18 inflight cabin crew and a team of seven Qantas support staff including three catering experts, a travelling engineer, security officer and load controller.
Pilot in Command will be Captain David Oliver, a 35-year Qantas veteran and the airline’s Boeing 747 Fleet Senior Training Captain.
On board, a six-class configuration will offer First Class, Business Plus, Business Class, Premier Class, Superior Plus and Superior Class.
“Our team, including dedicated First Class and Business Class hosts, tour leaders and a doctor, will take care of every detail of arrangements to escort our guests safely and comfortably between the world’s iconic and lesser-known destinations,” Kotzmann added.
Constellation Journeys will offer a range of flight and luxury accommodation combinations to appeal to varying preferences and budgets.
