Four Seasons Launches First Yacht with Mediterranean and Caribbean Itineraries
Key Points
  • Four Seasons launches its first yacht, Four Seasons I, with Mediterranean and Caribbean itineraries.
  • The yacht offers exclusive port access, tailored on-shore experiences, and dedicated sea days for watersports.
  • Luxury amenities include 95 suites, a spa, and 11 dining venues, with a one-to-one guest-to-staff ratio.

Four Seasons I will offer exclusive access to ports and yacht-only harbours, unlike cruise ships that face bans in some areas due to overtourism concerns. On-shore experiences will focus on tailored itineraries, such as private art and cultural tours or reservations at coveted restaurants. The yacht will also feature dedicated days at sea where retractable platforms expand for watersports or swimming.

The exact launch date and specific exclusive ports have not been disclosed, and pricing details remain unknown. Inspired by the golden age of yachting, Four Seasons I is a modern interpretation of the superyacht Christina O. It includes 95 suites, with the Funnel Suite spanning 929 square metres and featuring three bedrooms, a splash pool, an outdoor gym, and a private lift.

There are no interior cabins, and floor-to-ceiling windows are present throughout. The yacht boasts a one-to-one guest-to-staff ratio, enhancing personalized service. Amenities include L’Oceana Spa with a hammam, sauna, aromatic steam room, and cold therapies, along with sunrise yoga on deck.

Dining options comprise 11 restaurants and bars, such as the Horizon Bar with a plunge pool, Sedna offering tasting menus from Michelin-starred chefs, Miuna omakase restaurant, and the Champagne & Caviar terrace. The passenger capacity and construction timeline have not been confirmed. This launch follows the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, which debuted its first vessel Evrima in 2022, followed by Ilma in 2024 and Luminara in July last year.

Ritz-Carlton yachts sail in regions including the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, the Caribbean, and French Polynesia, with Ilma featuring 224 suites.
