Embark on an Unforgettable Journey Through the Caribbean and Mediterranean

In its inaugural year, Four Seasons Yachts will traverse over 130 unique destinations spanning more than 30 countries and territories.

The maiden voyage of the first Four Seasons Yacht, currently being crafted in Ancona, Italy, will set sail westward, inviting guests to immerse themselves in the tranquil turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea from January to March 2026. These initial Caribbean itineraries span seven nights and explore the most captivating yachting destinations, including Saint Barthélemy (St Barths), Nevis, the Grenadines, St Lucia, Barbados, Martinique, Guadeloupe, Curaçao, and Aruba. Highlights include experiencing the vibrant nightlife of St Barths, discovering Martinique’s rich volcanic coral reefs and lush rainforests, enjoying a marina day amidst St Lucia’s Tobago Cays, and much more.

Stay tuned for more destinations and details to be revealed in the coming months as the first Grand Mediterranean voyages commence in March 2026. These Mediterranean sailings will traverse Croatia, Gibraltar, Montenegro, Italy, Portugal, Spain, and Türkiye, showcasing the enchanting Greek Isles with stops in Athens, Ios, Santorini, Milos, and beyond. Guests will have the opportunity to explore culturally rich and historically significant islands, indulging in a plethora of extraordinary experiences that transcend the ordinary Mediterranean voyage.

Tailored Suite Designs Emphasizing Comfort, Connectivity, and Consideration

In partnership with Tillberg Design of Sweden and the Yacht’s Creative Director, Prosper Assouline, our suite designs epitomize intuitive luxury. Each suite is a haven of serenity boasting panoramic vistas, sophisticated interiors, meticulous accents, and a homely ambiance that evokes the feeling of a warm abode amidst the sea’s embrace.

“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 compared to any competitor at sea, our suites redefine luxury. Each boasts floor-to-ceiling windows framing breathtaking sea panoramas, spacious double vanity bathrooms with roomy showers and closets, expansive private terraces, and a dynamic utilization of space and natural light.

Our yacht’s interconnected suite network introduces an innovative modular wall system, offering a multitude of vertical and horizontal combinations within our signature suites. This ingenious design feature provides over 100 connection options, allowing guests the unique opportunity to reserve an entire side of a deck, ideal for families, friends, or larger groups. For instance, this groundbreaking design enables over 13,000 square feet (1,200 square meters) of combined living space, ensuring an unparalleled experience at sea.

Introducing the Next Level of Suite Luxury: Funnel and Loft Suites

At the apex of luxury are our seven signature suites, ranging from 2,981 to 9,975 square feet (277 to 927 square meters) of indoor and outdoor living space. These opulent accommodations feature two to three bedrooms, separate living areas, both indoor and outdoor dining spaces, splash pools, outdoor showers, and the option to connect with additional suites.

Among these premier suites are the Funnel and Loft Suites, both boasting three bedrooms, outdoor showers, and splash pools. The Funnel Suite, the largest onboard spanning 9,975 square feet (927 square meters), occupies four levels within the yacht’s glass-enclosed funnel. Its towering floor-to-ceiling wraparound windows, comprising the largest contiguous piece of glass at sea, offer unparalleled 280-degree panoramic views—a marvel of engineering. The Loft Suite, covering 7,952 square feet (739 square meters), accommodates large groups of up to 20 people by connecting with seven additional suites, the highest number of connecting suites available.

When guests venture beyond their lavish suites, they can indulge in 11 dining venues, spa and wellness facilities, a cutting-edge transverse marina, and the stern pool, set to be one of the largest in the industry at nearly 19 meters long and 5 meters wide (65 feet long and 18 feet wide). Its innovative hydraulic lift design allows the pool deck to level out, creating a vast outdoor space for weddings, celebrations, and other events.

Four Seasons Yachts will redefine luxury at sea with its all-suite, residential-style offering, unparalleled design, and the brand’s renowned service and attention to detail, all delivered through a 1:1 guest-to-staff ratio.
