Pan Am Announces Second Departure for Historic Transatlantic Routes

The airline has set a second 2025 voyage tracing the legendary Southern and Northern Transatlantic Routes pioneered by Pan American World Airways.

Traveling by privately chartered jet with accommodations at a curated selection of iconic hotels, the newly added 12-day voyage—again limited to 50 guests in a Boeing 757 aircraft configured with all Business Class lie-flat seating—will depart June 16-28, 2025, roundtrip from New York City.

The first trip announced earlier this summer departs June 27-July 9, 2025, with both journeys officially licensed by Pan Am Brands and supported by the Pan Am Museum Foundation.

Pan Am was one of the world’s great airlines in the fledgling days of commercial aviation.

Inspired by the pioneering spirit of the early Pan Am years, these “Tracing the Transatlantic” Pan Am commemorative journeys fly round trip to Europe from New York City, closely following the routes of the original Flying Boats with stops in Bermuda, Lisbon, Marseille, London and Foynes in Ireland.

“Since 1927, Pan Am has left an indelible mark on the world and that mark is reflected to this day in the enthusiasm and strong bookings for our first departure,” said Craig Carter, CEO of Pan American World Airways and owner of Pan Am Brands. “These journeys, tracing both the original Pan Am Southern Transatlantic Route between New York and Marseilles and the Northern Transatlantic route between London and New York, have been painstakingly designed to honor the unmatched legacy of Pan Am and I look forward to welcoming guests onboard in 2025.”

The program will be operated by Bartelings, a company specializing in touring worldwide by private aircraft, and Criterion Travel, a specialist in developing and operating tours and cruises for U.S. affinity organizations.

It begins and ends with gala evenings at the newly renovated Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City. Along the way, guests will stay in other hotels that are among the world’s best, including the Rosewood in Bermuda, the Four Seasons Ritz in Lisbon, the Savoy in London, and Dromoland Castle in Ireland.
