Genting Hong Kong offered a first-hand preview of its ultra-luxurious private tour jet, Crystal Skye, ahead of her sold-out inaugural Asian voyage on October 1.

“We are extremely pleased and encouraged by the outstanding response for Crystal Skye’s maiden voyage from Asia – a fully-booked, all-inclusive journey to Fiji and Tahiti – signaling strong demand from the region’s most discriminating travelers,” said Colin Au, group president of Genting Hong Kong. 

The all-inclusive seven-night eight-day voyage, priced at US$18,000 for up to 88 guests, features the finest hotels and accommodations in Fiji and Tahiti, unique cuisine, beverages, entertainment, private plane transfers and the exclusive service of the world’s first “Air Butlers”.

During the special showcase, travel agents, partners and media got to experience the Boeing 777-200LR’s spacious dedicated social lounge with a stand-up central bar designed to foster friendly camaraderie during the journey.

Visitors also got the chance to try out the customised Crystal Exclusive Class seats – fully-reclining, flatbed Welsh handcrafted sleeper seats designed for ergonomic comfort and equipped with sophisticated in-flight amenities and entertainment. 

Attended by a team of dedicated Crystal Skye Butlers, guests were served Michelin-inspired hors d'œuvres prepared by onboard Executive Chef, François Van Zyl, in collaboration with Master Chef Chan Kwok Keung, “World Champion of The Chinese Cuisine” and paired with a selection of champagnes and premium wines from the Crystal SkyCellar.

In response to the overwhelming reception of the inaugural AirCruise to the South Pacific, Crystal Skye will embark on an all-inclusive six-night ‘Masa Mara, Kenya Safari’ adventure in February for the Lunar New Year holidays.

“Crystal Skye takes the spirit of cruising to the clouds with seamlessly indulgent luxury and comfort, combining Crystal’s award-winning personal service with innovative design showcasing an opulent interior highlighted by elegant, world-class amenities,” added Au. 


In addition to pre-planned, all-inclusive itineraries, Crystal Skye is also available for private charters up to 28 days for personal holidays and business trips.

Guests will be able to create custom journeys from a selection of diverse points around the globe, ranging from the cosmopolitan (London and New York City), to the exotic (Igauzu Falls, Argentina and Tashkent, Uzbekistan), to the scenic (Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aries), and others. 

A collection of interchangeable “Destination Experiences” also allows guests to curate personalised itineraries in each destination.
