The 24-day “bucket list adventure”, which is limited to 75 guests, takes in 12 Disney resorts in six countries on three continents. Customers will travel on a “VIP-configured” Boeing 757, accompanied by Disney specialists, a chef, and a private medical team.

But what exactly is the estimated cost to the planet? Our environment reporter Damien Gayle explains.
