While Four Seasons Yachts is just beginning its journey, the vision extends well beyond a single vessel. The debut of Four Seasons I marked the brand’s entrance into ultra-luxury yachting, and with Four Seasons II already announced, the company is building a boutique fleet centered on spacious suites, immersive itineraries, and the legendary Four Seasons service guests know from its hotels around the world.

Four Seasons I

• Debuted in 2026
• 95 residential-style suites
• Up to 190 guests
• 11 restaurants and bars
• Mediterranean and Caribbean itineraries

Introducing Four Seasons II 

Following the excitement surrounding Four Seasons I, the brand has already announced Four Seasons II, the second yacht in its growing fleet. Rather than reinventing the concept, Four Seasons II builds upon everything guests loved about the inaugural vessel while refining the experience even further.

Guests can expect the same signature Four Seasons hospitality, with an exceptional guest-to-staff ratio of nearly 1:1, 79 expansive residential-style suites, eleven culinary concepts, immersive cultural programming, and thoughtfully curated Shore and Sea Experiences.

Like its sister ship, Four Seasons II embraces a slower, more meaningful style of travel. Late departures and overnight stays allow guests to experience destinations after the crowds have dispersed, creating a journey that feels far more immersive than a traditional cruise itinerary.

Four Seasons II At a Glance

• 679-foot yacht
• 34,000 gross tons
• 79 suites
• Nearly 1:1 guest-to-staff ratio
• 11 restaurants and lounges
• Late-night departures and overnight port stays
• Residential-inspired interiors designed around the spirit of yachting

For travelers considering future sailings, Four Seasons II will provide even more itinerary options while maintaining the intimate atmosphere that defines the brand’s approach to yachting.

One of the biggest differences between Four Seasons Yachts and traditional luxury cruise ships is its intentionally intimate size.

• 95 suites
• Approximately 190 guests
• Nearly 1:1 guest-to-staff ratio

For comparison, many premium cruise ships carry well over 3,000 passengers. Even competing luxury yacht brands typically accommodate considerably more guests than Four Seasons, making the onboard experience feel quieter, more residential, and significantly more personalized.

Choose Four Seasons Yachts if…

• You’re already a Four Seasons loyalist.
• You don’t enjoy traditional cruises.
• Privacy is important.
• You appreciate exceptional dining.
• You want more overnight stays in port.
• You value spacious accommodations.
• You’re celebrating a honeymoon or anniversary.

Consider Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection if…

• You prefer a larger fleet.
• You want more itinerary options.
• You’re already loyal to Ritz-Carlton.

As exciting as Four Seasons Yachts is, there are a few things prospective guests should know.

• Because the fleet is still new, itinerary availability is naturally more limited than longer-established yacht brands.
• With only a small number of suites, the most desirable accommodations often sell out well over a year in advance.
• Most shore excursions are optional add-ons rather than being included in the fare, allowing guests to customize their experience.

The Key Differentiator Between Four Seasons Yachts and Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection:

Four Seasons is going more innovative and more spacious, with fewer guests, more personal space, and a greater staff-to-guest ratio. Ritz-Carlton offers a luxury cruise that is still intimate but has a slightly more traditional cruise structure with more passengers per sailing.

The inaugural season features 10 unique voyages, with additional holiday itineraries for 2026-2027. Key destinations include:

• The Caribbean: St. Barths, Antigua, British Virgin Islands
• Holiday Sailings: Bahamas, special festive voyages
• Mediterranean/Adriatic: Dubrovnik, Montenegro, Dalmatian Islands

Four Seasons Yachts intentionally favors smaller ports and more personalized routes, thanks to its smaller ship size and more agile marina platform.

The launch of Four Seasons Yachts brings exciting news, with Captain Kate McCue transitioning from Celebrity Cruises to captain the inaugural vessel, Four Seasons I, set to sail in March 2026 with ultra-luxury voyages through the Caribbean and Mediterranean. After nearly 20 years commanding mega-ships like Celebrity Beyond and becoming the first American woman to do so, her move to Four Seasons marks a historic milestone, earning well-deserved kudos for the brand’s choice of a female leader. The decision to leverage her significant social media presence, highlighted by her engaging updates and the recent loss of her beloved cats, Bug Naked and Dewey, proves a smart strategy to promote the brand, sparking widespread conversation and boosting its visibility.  

• Exclusivity: Only 95 suites and a high staff-to-guest ratio means more personalized service
• Design & Layout: Yacht interiors are curated for space, privacy, and natural light with expansive terraces
• Culinary Diversity: 11 distinct venues ensure every dining moment is tailored
• Hotel-Like Experience: It feels like staying at a Four Seasons resort, just at sea
• Privacy-Oriented: Ideal for those who avoid crowds and seek high-touch, private experiences
• Design Inspiration: Interiors channel the elegance of mid-century travel, blending 1950s and 60s influences with tailored detailing and cinematic touches reminiscent of James Bond-era sophistication

The onboard cigar lounge, designed by Martin Brudnizki, is a destination in itself—layered, richly detailed, and entirely bespoke, echoing the designer’s signature work at Annabel’s and other iconic spaces. The result is a dazzling, transportive environment that elevates the traditional cigar experience into something far more immersive.

Aboard Four Seasons Yachts, suite categories are intentionally designed in a consistent residential style, allowing guests to choose based on space, layout, and occupancy rather than sacrificing aesthetic continuity.

Entry-level Seaview Suites offer 473 ft² interiors with private terraces and streamlined luxury ideal for couples, while Seaview Suites with Studios and Superior Seaview Suites introduce more flexibility with additional sleeping configurations and expanded layouts up to 893 ft². Moving up, Ocean Suites and Grand Ocean Suites deliver a more elevated onboard living experience, featuring larger interiors (up to 1,140 ft² total), indoor dining, and enhanced living space suited for families or longer voyages.

For those seeking a true villa-at-sea experience, the Signature Suites including the Saint Barth, Portofino, and Loft Suites dramatically increase both interior and terrace square footage, with standout features like private splash pools, outdoor dining for entertaining, full living areas, and in top-tier options like the Funnel Suite, ultra-rare amenities such as a private gym, sauna, and expansive multi-level terraces nearing 10,000 ft² total.

Across all categories, the emphasis remains on seamless indoor-outdoor living, panoramic sea views, and thoughtful configurations that can connect for multi-generational travel.

Dining aboard the Four Seasons Yacht is a culinary journey unto itself, thoughtfully crafted to reflect the brand’s signature refinement while embracing the global flavors of each destination. With eleven elevated dining concepts and 24-hour in-suite service, guests can savor everything from Mediterranean-inspired feasts to Japanese omakase and caviar-paired Champagne sunsets—all at sea. 

At Terrasse, days begin with market-fresh breakfasts and unfold into shareable coastal dishes like crudos, handmade pastas, and wood-fired pizzas. For sushi lovers, Miuna offers a front-row seat to a curated omakase experience with ingredients sourced from local ports. Sedna, the yacht’s signature restaurant, features a rotating cast of acclaimed chefs and a menu that evolves with the seasons and itinerary—ideal for true culinary connoisseurs. Guests can also enjoy light, elegant fare at Salon, poolside plates at Bar Piscine, or Moroccan-inspired mezze at the adults-only Horizon Lounge.

A true design moment onboard is the Champagne & Caviar bar, where intricate detailing crafted from seashells creates a striking, tactile focal point that feels both artistic and transportive.

Other highlights include Champagne & Caviar tastings, vintage cocktails at Bar O, artisanal coffees and brunch at Pistachio, and the refined intimacy of in-suite dining at any hour. 

Every restaurant upholds the Four Seasons standard for service, with menus reflecting a deep respect for regional ingredients, fine wines, and global gastronomic artistry. Whether dressed in Casual Chic or Evening Chic, guests can expect an indulgent, varied, and highly personalized dining experience that redefines luxury on the water.

Four Seasons Yachts offers a range of elevated options for group travel, from intimate gatherings to full-scale celebrations at sea.

Deck Buyout

For guests seeking enhanced privacy or additional space, a deck buyout offers the option to reserve a full or partial deck aboard the yacht. This setup is ideal for larger families or close-knit groups, with the flexibility to keep suites separate or connect them into a private enclave. It’s a sophisticated way to experience the yacht, offering a sense of exclusivity and togetherness.

Group Voyages

Four Seasons Yachts is perfectly suited for group getaways, whether you’re planning a business retreat, milestone celebration, or a leisure-focused gathering. These voyages are tailored to your group’s preferences, with every detail—accommodations, programming, activities, dining, and entertainment—expertly handled by us and Four Seasons to ensure a memorable, effortless experience at sea.

Full Yacht Charter

A full yacht charter provides complete control over your journey, offering the ability to customize everything from the sailing itinerary and shore excursions to onboard programming, décor, and entertainment. Ideal for large-scale celebrations, family reunions, or private events, full charters also include opportunities for co-branded amenities, private parties, and fully customized experiences curated by Four Seasons event planners. Featuring 95 spacious suites, 11 dining and lounge venues, and a 1:1 guest-to-staff ratio, Four Seasons Yachts delivers an elevated, fully tailored experience.

We’ve already had the pleasure of sending clients aboard Four Seasons Yachts, and hearing about their experience firsthand has only reinforced our excitement about this new chapter for the brand.

“From Athens to the Four Seasons Yacht and finishing in Istanbul, every detail felt thoughtfully planned. The room upgrades, shipboard credit, personalized surprises—including a chocolate replica of the yacht—and incredible service made the trip unforgettable.”

“The $600 onboard credit went much further than we expected, and we loved every restaurant onboard. Our favorite was the Mediterranean restaurant on Deck 11 with its incredible sunset views.”

“Most importantly, we absolutely loved the Four Seasons Yacht experience itself. I can’t imagine a better first cruise. We’re already talking about booking another voyage.”

How is it different from a typical cruise?

No, Four Seasons Yachts does not participate in Amex FHR or credit card travel programs. Right now, the only way to receive exclusive perks is by booking through a Four Seasons Preferred Partner.

When should I book?

The best time is now! With only 95 suites, sailings will sell out early, especially holiday and summer voyages.

After touring the yacht extensively and helping clients book inaugural sailings, what stands out most is that Four Seasons hasn’t tried to create another cruise line. Instead, they’ve translated the feeling of staying at one of their hotels onto the water.

With the debut of Four Seasons Yachts, the brand is not simply expanding; it is redefining what ultra-luxury travel at sea can look like. This is a natural evolution for a company that has long mastered the art of service on land, now translated into an entirely new, deeply immersive maritime experience.

And now, with the official launch of Four Seasons I and Four Seasons II, that vision is no longer conceptual; it’s here. As first reports emerge, publications across the luxury landscape are already offering an inside look at what guests can expect.

From Robb Report’s coverage of the yacht’s inaugural sailing from Málaga, highlighting its 679-foot scale and historic first voyage, to WWD’s insights into the brand’s strategic focus on intimacy, gastronomy, and time as the ultimate luxury currency, and Travel + Leisure’s first look inside one of the year’s most anticipated ships, the message is clear: Four Seasons has arrived at sea with intention, and with impact.

For clients who value privacy, space, and a truly elevated way to explore the Mediterranean and beyond, Four Seasons I represents a new category altogether—one that will undoubtedly set the tone for the future of luxury yachting.

Booking through our Yachts & Cruise service ensures not only the best access and perks but a truly white-glove experience from booking to boarding. Let us elevate your journey with insider access, upgrades, and tailored support every step of the way.
