Passengers on Crystal Skye can eat, drink, socialise and relax, enjoying VIP service for the duration of their flight
According to The Guardian, the world’s most luxurious commercial
jet ever has taken to the skies with a ticket rate that cost at least
N15.3 million per hour.
The Crystal Skye – a privately-owned converted Boeing 777-200LR
that accommodates just 88 passengers – boasts a spacious dining area, a
mixologist and seats that convert into spacious beds for the super rich.
Launched by United States-based Travel Company, Crystal Cruises,
last month, tickets for a 14-day ‘hop-on hop-off’ ride on the palatial
plane start at $50,000 (N15.3 million) per hour.
Cuisine is prepared by an executive chef, in two state-of-the-art
galleys. Along with five-star interiors and Michelin-star inspired
menus, passengers are also lavished with top-notch treatment, thanks to
on-board butlers.
There are a total of 88 armchair-style seats for passengers to relax in.
These transform into flat beds for those wanting to pack in a bit of sleep before landing at their next destination.
In the roomy bathrooms, guests can freshen up with a range of fragrant products from the luxury Italian fashion house Etro.
Other highlights include a bar (stocked with an array of fine
wines), large flat-screen televisions, free global Wi-Fi and personal
Bose noise-cancelling headphones.
There are 14, 21 and 28-day itineraries available, whisking
holidaymakers away to some of the ‘most exotic and remote’ locations in
the world.
The Crystal Skye has the highest crew to passenger ratio of any twin-aisle aircraft and a non-stop range of 19.5 hours.
When the venture was unveiled in 2016, Crystal’s then Chief
Executive Officer, Edie Rodriguez said Crystal Air Cruises is not just a
thrilling new venture for Crystal, but a groundbreaking development in
the luxury travel industry.
Rodriguez said: “Even the savviest travellers and guests who
have sailed on our award-winning ocean cruises many times will relish
brand new opportunities to explore places impossible to reach by water,
all with Crystal’s signature personalised service and the highest
standard of luxury at every point of travel.”
