Last July, I wrote about how Pan American World Airways, commonly known as Pan Am, was offering a 12-day itinerary that hit the airline’s historic southern and northern transatlantic routes this month. Pan Am was once the epitome of glamour and the jetset of the early days of commercial aviation. In its prime, it was the largest international air carrier and unofficial overseas flag carrier of the United States. The carrier declared bankruptcy and sold off its assets in 1991. The airline has been gone for over 30 years, but if you’ve got the cash you can relive some of the luxury once afforded to Pan Am travelers.
The journey will take place on board a Boeing 757-200 in an all Business-Class configuration. Flights depart from private air terminals around the world from June 27th to July 9th. The itinerary includes all flights, hotel stays, and meals. This is open to a maximum of 50 passengers and it looks like it has sold out.
The “Tracing the Transatlantic” trip costs $59,950 per person (based on double occupancy). Solo travelers will need to pay $65,500.
Here’s the itinerary:
- New York: Start the journey at the Waldorf Astoria
- Bermuda: Stay at the Rosewood Bermuda
- Lisbon: Stay at the Four Seasons Hotel Ritz
- London: Stay at The Savoy
- Foynes: Stay at Dromoland Castle
If this trip is out of your price range, you can still relive some of the nostalgia around the airline with a stay at the Pan Am Hotel by Hilton. It’s set to open next year at the Citadel Outlets in Los Angeles. The hotel will be part of Hilton’s Tapestry Collection and will bring together the mid-century aesthetics of the original Pan Am era along with modern conveniences and amenities found in luxury hotels of today.
Anthony’s Take: This trip looks incredible. My husband would never let me go it alone and around $120,000 is not in the budget. I am looking forward to checking out the Pan Am Hotel by Hilton when it opens.

Sigh. If my net worth had another zero at the end I’d love to do that trip.
