Pan Am is back—but not in the same way you may remember it.
A new private jet travel experience is retracing the iconic routes of Pan Am, once the largest and most famous airline in the United States. Operated on board a chartered Boeing 757 complete with the famous Pan Am livery, the brand has been brought back to life by Beyond Capricorn and Bartelings, two companies that specialize in bespoke luxury tours, with an official license from Pan American World Airways.
The inaugural trip took off this June, following Pan Am’s original transatlantic circle route to Europe. This route was originally flown by the famous Pan Am Clippers, long-range flying boats used in the 1920s and 1930s. At the time, an airline ticket would cost between $200 and $400 one way, depending on the destination (equivalent to between $4,000 and $8,000 today).
While Pan Am is associated with the golden age of commercial air travel, its latest act as “Pan Am Journeys by Private Air” offers an even more exclusive product. The 757 aircraft named Yankee Clipper II features 50 fully-flat business class seats, each with a $60,000 price tag.
That price includes a scenic 12-night tour from New York-JFK with stops in Bermuda, Lisbon, Marseille, London, and Shannon in Ireland, where travelers stayed in luxury hotels like St. Regis in New York, the Four Seasons Hotel Ritz in Lisbon, The Savoy in London, and Adare Manor in Ireland.
At each destination, passengers are treated to top-tier meals and drinks, insightful tours, and aviation-themed experiences. But above all, it’s the nostalgia of the Pan Am brand that passengers are paying for. Many of the travelers aboard the maiden journey consisted of former flight attendants, Pan Am sales agents, or children of former pilots.
I joined the last segment of the whirlwind journey in London, where we flew to Ireland before returning to the US. As a professional aviation geek, I was overwhelmed by the history and deep appreciation my fellow passengers shared as they reminisced on their days working for or flying with Pan Am. The epic tour was just the start for Pan Am’s latest venture, with more private flight journeys planned throughout 2026 and 2027.
A plane that’s famous at each stop
Alerted by enthusiastic aviation message boards and flight trackers, dozens of plane spotters, airline employees, and families awaited with cameras in tow at every takeoff and landing. Even the crew’s arrival to the terminal turned heads as they swaggered through, donning vintage Pan Am uniforms.
Théo (who preferred not to provide his last name), a Frenchman who moved to Paris a year ago for a tech job, found it thrilling to swim in such a setting: “I’ve walked and cycled along the Seine many times, but this was a unique opportunity to swim surrounded by beautiful architecture I’ve always seen from a different angle.” He compared the feeling to urban swimming in Copenhagen and Zurich. “Although the pristine waters of Lake Zurich, these were not!”
Despite lingering concerns about historical contamination from industrial runoff and sewage overflow (issues that plagued the Seine for decades), strict safety protocols have reassured most swimmers. For example, all must wear yellow lifebuoys around their waists, not only for visibility but to prevent drowning in case of fatigue or a cramp. Additionally, daily bacterial monitoring has proven effective in keeping swimmers safe: This week, the three official swimming sites were closed due to heavy rains; significant rainfall can overwhelm stormwater systems, leading to spikes in bacteria levels, including E. coli and enterococci.
“What I’d love is to swim for more than just these two months,” says nutritionist Ariane Grumbach, who has done leisurely laps in the Seine several times. For now, the experience is limited to July and August, the driest and warmest months when water quality remains most stable. More than 50,000 swimmers have participated in the experience since the sites’ openings on July 5, with no reported health issues. City officials view this as a crucial pilot phase before expanding access more broadly in 2026. If all goes well, this brief summer season could mark the beginning of a beloved new Parisian ritual.
How to go swimming in the Seine in Paris
Want to have your own Seine swim? Read on for how to go swimming in the Seine, and which of the three official sites is best for you. And a reminder: Though swim caps are usually required in municipal pools, they are not obligatory in the Seine—all you need is a proper swimsuit. For more information, visit Paris.fr.
Bras-Marie
Swimming hours: 8 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Monday-Saturday; 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Sunday
Right off the Sully – Morland stop on the Paris Metro, this is the smallest of the three sites and can welcome 150 swimmers at a time. Swimming hours are shorter during the week due to tourist boat traffic. There are no changing cabins available at this location (but there are restrooms), so swimmers should plan to come suited up. Children must be at least 14 years old to swim at this location.
Bercy
Swimming hours: 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily
This is the largest of the three sites, accommodating 700 people simultaneously (300 in the water), and located near the Metro’s Bercy stop. There are actually two bathing areas here, separated by a lateral protection to allow swimmers and boats. Restrooms, changing cabins, and showers are available. Children aged 10 and up who know how to swim are permitted.
Bras de Grenelle
Swimming hours: 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. daily
This is the only site of the three with a secure pool for children and families (40 to 60 centimeters—about 14 to 24 inches—deep), which can accommodate 200 people at a time. Children must be 14+ years old to swim in the bottomless area; children 3+ years old accompanied by a parent in the secure pool. Get there via the Champ de Mars Tour Eiffel stop on the Metro.
The best beaches in Maui are the stuff of our summer daydreams. On the island, whale pods arcing parallel to over-ocean rainbows, epic waves that crest and crash one after the other, and grottoes fit for a fairytale mermaid are not rare sights. Completely surrounded by the balmy North Pacific, Hawaii’s second biggest island enjoys a wealth of experiences that highlight the tropical island as a destination that is as diverse as it is idyllic. Soak in the sun along the cabana-skirted shores of Wailea, or explore the hidden coves of Hana for some low-key R&R. Fancy yourself more of an adventurer? Take to the backdrop of rugged Upcountry cliffs and rainforests, or dive into the expansive underwater playground before you and snorkel around the island’s clear-as-glass waters. With 120 miles of coastline, there’s no shortage of shores to get your fill. Here, we’ve hand-picked the 12 best beaches in Maui for sun, sand, and surf.
