Join Millennials in Travel, Shangri-La and American Airlines for 4-nights in two of Europe’s most iconic cities!

Your journey begins as you kick back and relax in American Airlines Business Class, bound for Europe. From the moment you arrive to London, you will feel an unparalleled connection to the city at the Shangri-La The Shard. Starting on level 34 – a soaring 125 meters high – the hotel occupies 18 floors of The Shard, an architectural icon and Western Europe’s tallest building. Embrace views of the entire city through panoramic skyline views overlooking the River Thames, with beloved landmarks such as the Tate Modern, Shakespeare’s Globe, Borough Market and St Paul’s Cathedral within easy reach.

After a journey by train from London, you will fall in love with Shangri-La Paris. Set in the former home of Prince Roland Bonaparte, and overlooking the Eiffel Tower and River Seine, chic Parisian elegance lives on in the French capital. After being lovingly restored to its former grandeur, No.10 avenue d’Iéna’s “Palais” was reborn as Shangri-La Paris. Centrally located in the 16th arrondissement, minutes from the Champs-Elysées, the hotel blends European grandeur with traditional Asian hospitality. After your rendezvous with London & Paris, enjoy American Airlines Business Class for your journey home from Paris.

ITINERARY AT A GLANCE:

Participants will depart individual home gateways on March 7th and arrive to London the following day via American Airlines Business Class. Upon checking in to the Shangri-La The Shard, you will meet your fellow Millennials in Travel participants and our FAM hosts for dinner. The following day will include both unique experiences and free time to allow you to explore London on your own. The third day together kicks off with a journey via Eurostar Train to Paris. Overlooking the Eiffel Tower, the stay at Shangri-La Paris is sure to be one you won’t soon forget. The next day, enjoy the City of Light with some included activities and free time before concluding our FAM with a farewell dinner.

Millennials in Travel and Shangri-La are committed to supporting sustainability and giving back to communities that we visit during our travels. A volunteer activity will be incorporated into this itinerary. Your participation and support of this important initiative is appreciated!
