For aviation fans drawn to the Jet Age of the 1950s and 1960s, few things crystallize its allure more than Pan Am.

In operation from 1927 until 1991, Pan American World Airways symbolized the ambitions of a rapidly developing US. The now-defunct airline served as a pioneer in the evolution of commercial air travel.

And next year, travelers will have a chance to experience some of that magic.

Pan Am will mark its temporary return to the skies in June 2025 with a 12-day trip following the airline's historic southern and northern transatlantic routes. The upcoming "Tracing the Transatlantic" trip is backed by Pan American World Airways and the Pan Am Museum Foundation, with licensing by Pan Am Brands.

On June 27, 2025, the trip is set to kick off in New York City on a Boeing 757 airplane with all-business-class seating.

For this particular excursion, only 50 passengers will be permitted.

The flight will then stop in Bermuda, Lisbon, Marseilles, London, and Foynes, Ireland. Passengers will return to New York on July 8.

But the trip won't be cheap. The all-inclusive rate for the expedition is $59,950 per person, based on double occupancy. For solo travelers, the all-inclusive rate is $65,500.

During the foray, travelers will stay in exclusive properties, including the Rosewood in Bermuda, the Savoy in London, and Dromoland Castle in County Clare, Ireland.

However, the show's star is Pan Am, as entire generations of Americans have never experienced the golden era of travel and have only been able to relive the period through history books, films, and television shows. The airline's logo evokes a sense of nostalgia that has never been lost on one-time passengers, former employees, and aviation geeks alike.

According to AFAR, Pan American World Airways is already planning to craft a 2027 journey to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the legacy airline's first flight.
