In case hitting up the local nightclub isn’t enough for a hen-do, billionaire brides-to-be can now book a $13.8 million getaway trip covering 20 cities in 20 days aboard a private Boeing 767 to bid ‘farewell’ to being single.
Experiential travel boutique, DreamMaker has designed a unique trip around the world, named Passport to 50. Styled for the billionaire client, the trip has room for 50 friends and family, with the second group flying in tandem on another Boeing Business jet – for the extra popular bachelorette.
“If this were a bachelorette trip, it would be for a woman with a personal or family net worth of $850 million and above,” said Gregory Patrick, founder of DreamMaker. “Or individually, it could be the ultimate girls trip around the world. Split among 25 ladies, the cost would only be about $550,000 per lady. It’s guaranteed to be a much better story and a memory that bonds the girls together for eternity.”
The trip, which is now taking bookings for August 2017, covers 50,000 kilometers in the air, totaling a time ratio of 88% on the ground and 12% in the air. The trip begins in Koh Samui and continues through Siem Reap, Kathmandu, Agra, Florence, Siena, Cannes, Moulinet, London, Barcelona, Ibiza, Marbella, Marrakech, Havana, Knoxville, Kona, El Nido, and A Secret Island, before concluding in Manila.
And it doesn’t end there. The package comes with cocktails and a night at the tables in Las Vegas, a ‘lauriat’ – a special meal featuring favorite ingredients re-interpreted by a 3 Michelin-starred chef in Spain, a director-hosted private screening of a film festival winner in Cannes, as well as private fashion shows, photo shoots, and styling services in Florence.
No bachelorette party is complete without a total relaxation and spa session. Along with the basic amenities of flat beds and private chefs, Patrick has also appointed hypnotherapist, April Norris, to design a hypnotherapy program on the plane. The program includes Reiki healing, Ayurvedic medicine, and acupuncture.
“It is irrelevant how big and beautiful your private jet is if you are unable to relax comfortably or get the required amount of sleep on the plane,” says Patrick. That’s why there will be a guest to staff ratio of one-to-one. The firm has handpicked 50 professionals to serve the jet setters.
If the billionaire bachelorette wants to add a bit more excitement and entertainment for the lavish hen-do, there are other options. A $500,000 charity poker tournament with the world’s top-ranked poker player, an inflight yoga session, a fashion show, and a Master Sommelier are also available.
Lavishness aside, DreamMaker said it’s committed to supporting its charity partners. Donations, taken directly from the DreamMaker’s profit, expected to be in excess of $1 million, will be donated to selected charities that are funded by Ultra High Networth individuals. “For the Chinese charities, not only is 100% of the funds going to the recipients of the cause, but we are also paying for the administration to facilitate those donations,” said Patrick. Travelers on the Passport to 50 are not required to donate.
Perhaps the main attraction for the billionaire brides-to-be is the 18-karat gold swizzle sticks set with white and blue diamonds. DreamMaker commissioned the World of Diamonds group to design bespoke pieces out of fancy colored diamonds. There will be a total of 50 swizzle sticks and 20 white sparklers, each representing a visited city.
There are 3 designers and master craftsmen working on the design of the swizzle stick, spending 630 hours and over a month to hand make each piece. Each stick is said to have 5 times the 18-karat gold than an average wedding ring has.
“Among the main considerations of the design process was practicality, the globe’s density – relating to stability, and positioning the diamonds prominently so that they exhibit maximum brilliance,” said Karan Tilani, Director of World of Diamonds Group.
One rare fancy blue diamond, a representation of blue sky, will also be presented on each stick – perhaps as a unique symbol of the billionaire bride-to-be herself
