Pan Am has announced “Tracing the Transatlantic,” a historic 2025 journey by privately chartered jet tracing the Southern and Northern Transatlantic Routes serviced by Pan American World Airways. The trip is supported by Pan American World Airways and the Pan Am Museum Foundation and is officially licensed by Pan Am Brands. The journey will begin in New York City on June 27, 2025 and return July 8, 2025.
The 12-day Pan Am commemorative journey will fly round-trip to Europe from New York, closely following the routes of the original Flying Boats with stops in Bermuda, Lisbon, Marseille, London and Foynes in Ireland. Craig Carter, CEO of Pan American World Airways and owner of Pan Am Brands, will host the journey throughout.
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, including the Rosewood in Bermuda, the Four Seasons Ritz in Lisbon, the Savoy in London and Dromoland Castle in Ireland. Special events beyond discussions about the legacy of the airline and its people include an evening of fado in Lisbon, a July 4th celebration in London and a dinner at the Flying Boat Museum in Foynes, which houses the only B314 Flying Boat replica in the world.
The journey is now open for bookings. The program is limited to 50 guests traveling in a Boeing 757 aircraft configured with all Business Class seating.
