Channel 5 Numeric

Josie Gibson, presenter of Channel 5’s “Around the World in First Class,” continues her jet-setting adventures this Friday, landing in the vibrant city of Hong Kong. For those of us stuck in economy (or, let’s be honest, on the couch), Gibson’s travels offer a vicarious taste of the high life – and this week, that taste is extra luxurious.

Forget cramped airplane seats and budget hotels. Gibson flies first class on Cathay Pacific, settling into a level of comfort most of us only dream of. Her Hong Kong basecamp? The Rosewood Hotel, ranked the third best in the world. A personal butler attends to her every need, ensuring her stay is nothing short of opulent.

But Gibson doesn’t just lounge in luxury. She takes to the waters on a private yacht, circling Hong Kong’s stunning islands and soaking in the breathtaking views. Later, she experiences the city’s vibrant nightlife aboard the Aqua Luna, a traditional junk boat, while indulging in delicious dim sum. There’s even time for cocktails in the Rosewood’s exclusive executive bar and a shopping spree in a high-end designer mall – because, why not?
