Beyond the shoreline, gliding across waters with the poise of a private estate, the Four Seasons Yacht is more than a vessel; it’s an immersive expression of experience and luxury, reimagined. This floating sanctuary blends world-class design, curated experiences, and the timeless allure of the open sea.

A New Horizon in Maritime Luxury

In early 2026, Four Seasons will launch its inaugural yacht, an extraordinary vessel that redefines hospitality at sea. At 679 feet long, with 14 sweeping decks housing 95 ultra-spacious suites, this floating masterpiece is poised to offer a residential-style sanctuary on the water, marrying unmatched design with legendary service.

Spacious Suites – A Residential Paradigm at Sea

Each suite aboard is a statement of residential grandeur. Designed by style visionary Prosper Assouline, these accommodations feature floor-to-ceiling windows, private terraces, spa-inspired bathrooms, and interiors shaped by the textures and tones of sea and sky.

With space in mind, guests enjoy roughly 50% more living area per person than typical yachting experiences- an intentional nod to privacy, comfort, and a more thoughtful way to travel.

The Funnel Suite: A Floating Penthouse

Towering above even the most generous suites is the extraordinary Funnel Suite. Spanning four levels and nearly 10,000 square feet, it houses the largest curved glass window at sea, offering sweeping 280-degree panoramic views. Complete with a private wading pool, spa, and vertical and horizontal connectivity, this suite redefines luxury living at sea—becoming one of the most lavish spaces ever conceived for maritime guests.

ELEVATING ONBOARD HOSPITALITY

With a one-to-one guest-to-staff ratio, personalised service aboard the Four Seasons Yacht is unmatched. This high-touch approach mirrors the brand’s hotel ethos, delivering intuitive, anticipatory care across the vessel’s every space- seamlessly blending discretion, warmth, and world-class precision.

COMMON SPACES DESIGNED FOR CONNECTION AND CALM

The yacht’s design extends far beyond its private suites. Social architecture has been woven throughout, inviting guests to gather or retreat as they please. A dramatic hydraulic freshwater pool—one of the largest at sea, which also transforms into a dancefloor or event stage as needed, enhancing the vessel’s multifunctional elegance.

A unique transverse marina cuts through the yacht from port to starboard, offering multi-tiered lounging decks and direct access to the sea. This is where water toys, paddleboards, and diving experiences await, inviting guests to engage with the ocean in ways both thrilling and serene.

For those seeking stillness, the L’Oceana Spa features a traditional hammam, while a state-of-the-art fitness centre provides space to recalibrate, stretch, and strengthen—whether on a sunrise treadmill run or through curated wellness sessions.

CULINARY MASTERY ON EVERY DECK

Dining aboard the Four Seasons Yacht is as curated as its destinations, with 11 distinct venues shaped by global influences and local inspirations. Each setting has been designed for mood and moment:

• Sedna – The yacht’s culinary centrepiece, showcasing rotating chefs-in-residence and world-class fine dining.
• Terrasse – Mediterranean-inspired cuisine served in a relaxed, sun-drenched setting with live stations and indoor–outdoor flow.
• Miuna – A refined omakase counter offering a 16-seat intimate experience with chef interaction and bespoke beverage pairings.
• Pistachio Café, Salon, and a suite of bars round out the offering—from fresh pastries and afternoon tea to elevated cocktail hours and late-night indulgence.
  

Destinations: Private Portfolios, Not Cruise Ports

Sailing intimate seven- to fourteen-night itineraries, the Four Seasons Yacht will visit more than 130 destinations across over 30 countries. From hidden Mediterranean harbours to secluded Caribbean coves, the voyages are intentionally designed to avoid the crowds and bypass traditional cruise ports.

Instead, guests will often reach shore via private tenders—adding to the feeling of exclusivity and evoking the spirit of a private charter, not a commercial voyage.

A New Tier in Luxury Travel

Four Seasons doesn’t call this a cruise ship, rather, a luxury yacht, completely reimagined. With its design-first philosophy, residential-style accommodation, and curated lifestyle experiences, the vessel positions itself in a category of its own.

Architectural statements like the transverse marina and adaptable deck spaces allow the yacht to respond to the moment, whether it’s a sunrise yoga session, an open-air film screening, or a Michelin-level tasting menu under the stars.

The Future of Voyage, Realised

As the vessel comes to life under the skilled craftsmanship of Fincantieri and the elevated vision of Four Seasons, one thing is clear: this is not simply luxury travel— it is a new interpretation of movement, space, and hospitality at sea.

From its tailored suites and culinary artistry to its wellness sanctuaries and unhurried itineraries, the Four Seasons Yacht offers a journey where every element is deeply considered. This is not just a voyage- it’s the future of travel, realised in motion.
