residential-style accommodations
TORONTO, March 26,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Four Seasons, together with
luxury yachting company Marc-Henry Cruise Holdings Ltd, Joint
Owner/Operator, Four Seasons Yachts, and venerated Italian
shipbuilder Fincantieri, continues to chart a new course
of luxury at sea. 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

exceptional Yacht will extend this approach to the seas. Our teams
are dedicated to innovating and delivering genuine service,

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.
