This Curated Private Jet Experience Transports You To The Fabled Silk Roads in Absolute Luxury / By Brydie Shephard

From a scenic flight around Mount Everest to the hot air balloons of Cappadocia, this itinerary will have you up close and personal with some of the world’s greatest sights

For more than 1500 years, traders and merchants traversed some of the world’s most formidable landscapes to peddle their goods and wares on the Silk Road. Stretching from China through to the Middle East, this ancient trade route crossed through sprawling deserts and over snowy passes, where the likes of jade, porcelain, tea, spices, and textiles travelled through countries and cultures in the earliest days of global commerce.

Hundreds of years later, the Silk Road remains a global wonder, with many of its sights still as vast and inaccessible as they were for the original merchants and nomads. Enter Captain’s Choice, where their flagship style of touring – private jet – means global adventurers have access to routes and destinations not normally accessible.

2025 will see the touring company turn their sights to the Silk Road, with a brand new itinerary that brings luxury travel to the historic route.
