Channel 5’s “Around the World in First Class” continues its globe-trotting adventure this Friday, whisking viewers away to the stunning landscapes of Finland and Sweden. Josie Gibson returns as our guide, trading in budget backpacking for a decidedly more luxurious approach to travel.
This week’s episode finds Josie experiencing the high life in the Nordic countries. Forget cramped airplane seats; she’s flying Business Class on Finn Air, complete with fully flat beds for maximum comfort. Her accommodation is equally upscale, checking into the luxurious Hotel St George in Helsinki. In Stockholm, Josie gets a taste of true exclusivity, visiting a private island retreat – the Island Lodge – where gourmet dining, a floating sauna, and a private speedboat are just part of the package.
But “Around the World in First Class” isn’t just about opulent indulgences. The series also explores the booming luxury travel sector, offering a peek into the lives of those who demand the best the planet has to offer. Josie’s exploration includes dining at Helsinki’s renowned Restaurant Savoy and a breathtaking helicopter ride over the Stockholm archipelago, a collection of 30,000 islands. Join Josie for a taste of the good life on Channel 5 this Friday, 14 Marchth at 8:00 PM.
