As momentum builds towards the inaugural season
of Four Seasons Yachts, the first 10 unique voyages are
unveiled, each inviting travellers to make the iconic islands and hidden gems
of the Caribbean and Mediterranean their playground, with
meticulously designed suites that guests will call home along the journey.
"We are excited to showcase the breathtaking
destinations and world-class design awaiting guests aboard Four Seasons Yachts
as we approach our inaugural season in 2026," says Alejandro Reynal, President and Chief Executive Officer,
Four Seasons. "At Four Seasons, guest-centricity has always been the
foundation of our luxury service offering and our exceptional Yacht will extend
this approach to the seas. Our teams are dedicated to innovating and delivering
genuine service, ensuring each journey is defined by comfort, elegance, and
personalization, setting a new standard for luxury hospitality experiences at
sea."
A Journey Across Crystal Clear Caribbean Waters and
Magnificent Mediterranean Seas
In its debut year, Four Seasons Yachts will explore
more than 130 distinct destinations across over 30 countries and territories.
All itineraries are crafted with flexibility in mind, allowing guests to tailor
their own adventure as they explore beyond the familiar. The team curating each
itinerary understands the nuances of these locales, ensuring each experience is
truly extraordinary. Enhancing itineraries are customizable with pre-and-post
hotel and overland programs at beloved Four Seasons hotels and resorts.
The first Four Seasons Yacht, currently under
construction in Ancona, Italy, will travel westbound as part of its
repositioning and will welcome guests to set sail amid the serene turquoise
waters of the Caribbean Sea from January to March 2026. The
first Caribbean itineraries feature seven nights of exploration
through the most exciting yachting destinations including Saint Barthélemy (St
Barths), Nevis, the Grenadines, St Lucia, Barbados, Martinique, Guadeloupe,
Curaçao and Aruba. Destination highlights include indulging in the
dazzling nightlife of St Barths, discovering Martinique's volcanic
coral reefs and lush rainforest landscapes, a marina day in St Lucia's Tobago
Cays, and much more.
With more destinations and details to be unveiled
in the coming months, the first Grand Mediterranean voyages will begin in March
2026 and will include sailings through Croatia, Gibraltar, Montenegro, Italy, Portugal, Spain,
and Türkiye. The Mediterranean itinerary will also highlight the Greek Isles, with stops in Athens, Ios, Santorini,
Milos, and more. Guests will explore under-the-radar islands steeped in culture
and history, offering a variety of experiences that go above and beyond the
ordinary of Mediterranean sailings.
Bespoke Suite Designs Focused on Comfort,
Connection and Care
In collaboration with Tillberg Design of Sweden and
the Yacht's Creative Director, Prosper Assouline, the Yacht's suite design embodies the essence of intuitive luxury,
each a sanctuary of tranquility with panoramic views, elegant interiors,
thoughtful details and a residential feel that creates the sense of a welcoming
home at sea.
"Our goal was to craft an environment that
feels both familiar and extraordinary, with warm hues and open designs. We are
creating an inviting, welcoming environment that reflects the same feeling one
experiences at a Four Seasons hotel or resort," says Fredrik
Johannson, Partner and Executive Director of Tillberg Design of Sweden.
"At the same time, we are designing a look and feel that is unique to this
project, creating an elegant yet simple interior that stands out on its own,
while blending beautifully with the majestic seas that will surround it."
With 50% more living space per guest than currently
available with any competitor at sea, all suites will offer floor-to-ceiling
windows showcasing sweeping sea views, double vanity bathrooms with spacious
showers and closets, expansive private terraces, and dynamic use of space and
light.
The Yacht's extensive network of adjoining suites
will feature an innovative system that connects accommodations with modular
walls, offering numerous options of vertical and horizontal combinations within
the signature suites. This versatility will unlock more than 100 different
connection options and the unique opportunity to reserve an entire side of a
deck, perfect for those travelling with family, friends, or larger groups. For
example, this one-of-a-kind design will allow for more than 13,000 square feet
(1,200 square metres) of total living space.
A New Suite Standard: Funnel and Loft Suites
The largest accommodations are seven signature
suites ranging from 2,981 to 9,975 square feet (277 to 927 square metres) of
indoor and outdoor living space. They offer two to three bedrooms, separate
living rooms, indoor and outdoor dining space, splash pools, outdoor showers,
and the option to connect to additional suites.
The premier signature suite accommodations – the
Funnel and Loft Suites – both feature three bedrooms, outdoor showers, and
splash pools. The largest on board, the Funnel Suite, housed within the Yacht's
glass-enclosed funnel, is 9,975 square feet (927 square metres), spanning
four levels of living space. The suite's towering floor-to-ceiling wraparound
windows, made up of the largest contiguous piece of glass at sea, is a
one-of-a-kind engineering feat offering stunning 280-degree panoramic views.
The Loft Suite is 7,952 square feet (739 square metres) and can accommodate
large group sizes of up to 20 people by connecting with seven additional
suites, the largest number of connecting suites available.
When exploring beyond the comforts of their
stunning suites, guests can enjoy 11 dining options, spa and wellness
offerings, a state-of-the-art transverse marina, and the stern pool, set to be
one of the largest in the industry at nearly 19 metres long and 5 metres wide
(65 feet long and 18 feet wide). Its unique hydraulic lift design will allow
the pool deck to level out, creating an expansive outdoor space for weddings,
celebrations and other events.
Four Seasons Yachts will redefine luxury at sea
with its all-suite, residential style product, best in class design and the
brand's renowned service and care delivered through a 1:1 guest-to-staff ratio.
