Gastronomes, get ready: This May, TCS World Travel is sending 52 wayfaring foodies on the trip of a lifetime. Designed in collaboration with René Redzepi—the chef of Copenhagen’s Noma restaurant and founding father of New Nordic cuisine—the 19-day Around-the-World Culinary Journey (tcsworldtravel.com) begins with 3 days in Seoul before carrying on to eight more palate-pleasing destinations across Europe and Asia. The itinerary for the trip (priced from $135,000 per person) features far more than just memorable meals. In Tokyo, travelers can take a sushi-making class with a local master and forage the countryside with chef Shinobu Namae of the Michelin-starred L’Effervescence. A stop in Florence offers lessons with a fifth-generation Tuscan butcher; in Paris, it’s a Champagne-and-oyster-fueled cruise across the Seine; and in Copenhagen, Redzepi will give travelers behind-the-scenes access to his legendary kitchen. Throughout the journey, passengers will travel aboard TCS’s private 52-seat Boeing 757 and stay in Four Seasons hotels and resorts.
