THE CURATED EDITION.
THE DEPARTMENTS
Yachts, expedition ships, private aviation and the ways to arrive: the most considered journeys by water and air.

Two years after leaving Belfast, the Villa Vie Odyssey is more than 85 per cent sold and has a sister ship, Legacy, due in early 2029. Inside the idea of a home that never stays in one port.

After more than a decade of negotiation, the EU's revised air passenger rights regulation was published in October 2026. It guarantees a free personal item and fares shown with hand baggage included, but not a free cabin trolley, and it applies from October 2027.

Singapore Airlines still owns the two longest scheduled routes on earth, at more than 15,300 km each. A 24-hour Airbus test flight in July showed how far the ranking is about to stretch.

Backed by Guy Oseary and run by Brian Corbett, the invitation-only app lets members host, join or propose shared private flights. Its real proposition is not price, but who sits across the aisle.

Airbus Corporate Helicopters and Mercedes-Benz have worked together since 2010. Their new ACH145 Mercedes-Benz edition continues that relationship with a cabin whose materials and proportions borrow from automotive design, while remaining subject to the very different requirements of a helicopter.

American Airlines is reorganising the front of its Boeing 777-300ER around a different hierarchy. The retrofit removes the traditional Flagship First cabin and places greater emphasis on Flagship Suite business class. The first converted aircraft makes the decision tangible: privacy doors and lie-flat seating become the principal premium proposition, rather than an intermediate step below a separate first class.

Delta's next generation of Delta One suites begins with a familiar priority: a long-haul business-class seat must work as a bed. The airline's new design, planned to debut on the Airbus A350-1000 in early 2027, extends the sleeping surface while reconsidering the smaller details that affect a passenger over several hours.

Aero occupies the space between a conventional airline ticket and chartering an entire aircraft. The proposition is semi-private travel: individual seats sold on a more intimate aircraft, with private-terminal departures and a cabin designed to make the smaller scale apparent from the moment of boarding.

Brabus's marine programme applies an automotive sensibility to the water without treating a boat as a car with a different surface beneath it. The Shadow 38 platform makes that distinction clear. At approximately thirty-eight feet, it combines the practical language of an Axopar-derived hull with the more deliberate materials, colours and equipment associated with Brabus.

The third generation of the world's first single-engine personal jet seats six adults and a child, rethinks every seat in hand-wrapped Alcantara and lets the pilot text air traffic control. Refinement rather than revolution.

This Is It does not try to make a catamaran resemble a conventional monohull yacht. Its broad beam becomes the premise of the design. Presented at the Monaco Yacht Show in 2023, the Tecnomar vessel uses its twin-hull platform to create an arrangement of glass, terraces and interior volumes that reads more like a contemporary building than a familiar sequence of decks.

A 54-suite sailing yacht brings the brand’s historical travel identity into Mediterranean voyages and a new onboard setting.
