By Wei Ruyu, reporting

Beyond independent travel, now you can explore the world without waiting to gather a group, with everything arranged for you from start to finish. HowToTrip has just launched the “Luxury World Tour – Singapore Airlines A380 City Journey,” the first-ever trip to circle the globe aboard Singapore Airlines’ “A380 First Class Suites.” Just two travelers are required for the 22-day journey that visits seven global cities: Paris, New York, London, Frankfurt, Geneva, Sydney, and Singapore. The price is 1.25 million TWD.

You Chin-chang, Executive Director of HowToTrip, said, “After many years of operating around-the-world tours, we understand that high-end travelers want not only premium services but also the freedom and uniqueness of their own itineraries. That’s why we partnered with Singapore Airlines, the world’s first airline to offer a luxury service on the A380. Passengers can enjoy the A380’s First Class Suites, and the entire journey is arranged with stays at renowned luxury hotels worldwide, including the Four Seasons Hotel Paris, Four Seasons Hotel London at Park Lane, Four Seasons Hotel New York, Four Seasons Hotel Sydney, Four Seasons Hotel des Bergues Geneva, The Westin Grand Frankfurt Hotel, and Raffles Hotel Singapore... In every city, there will be dedicated transfers between hotels and airports, exclusive Chinese-speaking guides for sightseeing, as well as time for independent exploration.”

To meet the needs of different travelers, this world tour also offers 16-day and 22-day options priced between 750,000 and 990,000 TWD. For the growing trend of solo travel, individual bookings are accepted (subject to possible fare differences). To celebrate the launch, prices remain unchanged during the Spring Festival and winter holidays. Bookings for departures before the end of March 2012 will also include a three-Michelin-star dinner.
