Set to debut in 2026, Four Seasons I marks the beginning of a new chapter for the Four Seasons brand, bringing its signature approach to hospitality to the open ocean. Developed in partnership with Marc-Henry Cruise Holdings Ltd. and Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri, Four Seasons Yachts aims to merge contemporary design, refined service, and destination-driven itineraries to redefine modern luxury travel at sea.
Design and Innovation
The inaugural vessel, Four Seasons I, features 95 residential-style suites, each designed to feel more like a private oceanfront residence than a traditional cabin. Central to the yacht’s design is the 9,975-square-foot Funnel Suite, distinguished by its wraparound curved glass walls, the largest contiguous piece of glass at sea, and panoramic views of the surrounding waters.
Among the yacht’s most innovative features is its transverse marina, a first-of-its-kind design that opens on both sides of the vessel, bringing guests directly to sea level. Designed by Tillberg Design of Sweden, the marina spans more than 7,000 square feet and serves as a flexible space for wellness activities, watersports, and relaxation. On dedicated “Marina Days,” guests can participate in sunrise yoga sessions, explore secluded coves by kayak or pedalboard, or simply unwind by the seawater dipping pool at the edge of the platform.
Two additional experiences extend the connection between sea and shore. The Limo Tender offers private coastal excursions aboard a 10-meter vessel with full-service amenities and a private captain, while the Beachlander provides a faster, adventure-ready option for exploring hidden beaches and snorkeling reefs in comfort.
Culinary Excellence at Sea
Culinary programming has long been central to the Four Seasons experience, and Four Seasons I continues that tradition with 11 distinct restaurant and bar concepts. Each venue is designed to reflect both its maritime setting and the brand’s global culinary reputation, which currently includes 33 Michelin stars across its portfolio.
At the center of the yacht’s dining collection is Sedna, a refined venue that will host a rotating roster of guest chefs-in-residence from Four Seasons restaurants around the world. When not hosting visiting chefs, the onboard culinary team will present contemporary menus built on French techniques and global influences. Terrasse offers Mediterranean cuisine inspired by the Côte d’Azur, while Miuna provides an intimate omakase experience for just 16 guests per seating.
Casual options include Pistachio Café, known for house-made pastries and gelato, and Bar Piscine, a relaxed poolside destination serving light Mediterranean fare and signature cocktails. Guests can also discover more specialized venues such as the Champagne & Caviar Bar, the Horizon Lounge with its Moroccan-inspired design, and the Cigar Lounge, which features rare spirits and curated chocolate pairings. Each venue contributes to a culinary program focused on craftsmanship, creativity, and an appreciation of place.
Voyages and Experiences
When Four Seasons I begins sailing in 2026, itineraries will initially focus on the Caribbean during winter and spring, followed by the Mediterranean during the summer months. Each voyage is designed with flexibility in mind, allowing guests to explore beyond the familiar through smaller ports, private excursions, and extended time at anchor.
A second vessel, Four Seasons II, is already scheduled to join the fleet in 2027, signaling the brand’s long-term investment in this new category of travel.
A Seamless Extension of the Four Seasons Philosophy
From design and dining to service and programming, Four Seasons Yachts seeks to translate the brand’s hallmark attention to detail into an ocean setting. The result is not a traditional cruise but rather a series of curated journeys that balance privacy, personalization, and discovery—elements that have long defined the Four Seasons experience on land.
