A unique alliance between the airship airline OceanSky Cruises and one of the world's best luxury hospitality Swiss colleges, Les Roches, has been revealed. Together, they will create the standards for service and hospitality that will shape the future of high-end air travel, starting with the first expedition to the North Pole.

The 1930s, when airships were the ocean liners of the skies, were the last time passengers experienced the degree of luxury and adventure offered by this new experiential travel category. The passenger gondola on the airship will be comparable to the finest hotels anywhere in the world. All the comforts of a high-end hotel will be provided on the gondola's individual cabins and balcony. There will be a bar, restaurant, panoramic lounge, activity rooms for yoga, and a small theater-like lounge for presentations and meetings among the interior amenities.

Together with OceanSky Cruises, the top minds at Les Roches are creating this project, combining their significant knowledge and experience in luxury hotel management to provide the best possible experience for guests.

“We are thrilled to be working together with Les Roches to provide a new experiential service layer in the travel industry that has never been seen before,” said Gonzalo Gimeno, Head of Marketing for OceanSky Cruises. “Our mission is to fly and land, for the first time in history, a large-scale airship with 16 passengers plus crew to the geographical North Pole. This will be a remarkable achievement that we are honoured to pursue.”

Carlos Díez de la Lastra, CEO of Les Roches, said: “Throughout our history, at Les Roches, we have focused all our efforts on working to maintain the highest level and quality of the customer hospitality experience, through innovation and best practices for our students. Through collaboration with innovative projects such as OceanSky Cruises, we challenge ourselves to further develop our holistic nature and work collaboratively to make luxury tourism to unreachable places a reality, while promoting the values of sustainability.”

OceanSky's mission is to usher in a new era of environmentally responsible air travel. As compared to conventional aeroplanes, airships are among the most carbon-efficient transportation options. Ocean SkyCruises is encouraging the start of a clean revolution in the aviation sector by creating a luxury airship that provides an unmatched experience while retaining a strong commitment to sustainability.

Together, this airship and Les Roches will revolutionise the experiencing luxury travel market by setting a new standard for service in flight. The partnership was inspired by Les Roches' distinctive commitment to sustainability, technology, and innovation in the hospitality industry. Together, OceanSky Cruises and Les Roches strive to provide its guests an experience they'll never forget and set a new standard for luxury vacations.
