Four Seasons Yacht Sailings, Destinations and Guide Prices

Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts made a major impact with its private jet program, and the launch of the Four Seasons Yacht is the next step in that vision. This is not a cruise in the traditional sense. It doesn’t look or feel like one, and that’s entirely deliberate.

Think of it as a Four Seasons hotel that moves from one beautiful destination to the next. The yacht has been designed to deliver an experience that mirrors the elegance and service of Four Seasons on land while bringing guests closer to the sea and the destinations they visit.

I’ve completed the official Four Seasons Yacht training program, which provided a detailed look at the design, service concept, and onboard experience. The level of thought that has gone into creating something that feels nothing like a traditional cruise is genuinely impressive. Every detail is crafted to reflect Four Seasons’ signature focus on luxury, privacy, and personalization.

Why Booking Through a Four Seasons Preferred Partner Matters

You can book directly, but if you book through a Four Seasons Preferred Partner such as Clements Travel, you get benefits that aren’t available on the public site or through OTAs.

Four Seasons only works with a small group of top-tier agencies. Preferred Partner agencies receive early suite access, direct support from the yacht team, and added recognition for their guests. This applies to both the yacht and any Four Seasons hotels before or after your sailing.

Booking through Clements Travel gives you:

• Early suite access before inventory opens to the public

• Priority waitlist for high-demand sailings

• Direct line to the Four Seasons yacht team for pre- and post-trip arrangements

• VIP recognition onboard with personal touches

• Support with connecting Four Seasons hotel stays pre- or post-sailing

• No booking fees — you pay the yacht operator directly

• 24/7 personal support from me, not a call center

This is a major advantage. It’s why many of my clients secure the best suite categories and the best sailing dates before they ever go on general sale.

Why This Doesn’t Feel Mass Market

Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts has gone out of its way to make sure this doesn’t feel like a big commercial cruise. Everything from the number of suites to the way you step off the boat, has been designed to make it personal, calm and seamless.

The atmosphere is closer to being on a private yacht than a cruise ship. Suites have marble bathrooms, large walk-in wardrobes, proper living spaces, and floor-to-ceiling windows that open onto private terraces. Public areas use warm, residential finishes – soft wood, neutral tones, plush seating, so nothing feels “corporate” or crowded.

A big part of what makes this possible is the lower deck marina. On most cruise ships, you’re queueing to get off with hundreds of other passengers. Here, you step straight out onto the water or a waiting tender, no lines, no terminals, no fuss. Because of this design, the yacht can anchor in smaller harbors and visit places larger ships simply can’t reach.

This unlocks more interesting and exclusive destinations like Capri, Portofino and St Barths, where the experience of arriving by yacht is very different from docking at a commercial port.

The Yacht

The yacht is being built in partnership with Fincantieri S.p.A., one of the world’s most respected shipbuilders, and designed under the direction of Larry Pimentel, whose entire career has focused on redefining high-end travel at sea. This is not a repurposed cruise ship. It is a purpose-built yacht, crafted from the ground up to reflect the Four Seasons style of understated luxury.

• Length: 207 m, a serious presence on the water but intentionally limited to just 95 suites.

• Suites: 95 total, unusually low for a vessel of this size, which means exceptional space, privacy, and personal attention.

• Guest-to-staff ratio: close to 1:1, ensuring the level of service you would expect at a flagship Four Seasons property.

• Design style: clean and modern, with wide open decks, walls of glass, and light, natural tones throughout.

The look and feel is closer to a contemporary Mediterranean superyacht than a traditional ship. There are no harsh lines, no cluttered public spaces, no crowds. Instead, you have flowing decks, quiet corners, soft textures, and a design language that focuses on space, calm, and a sense of arrival.

Everything about the yacht, from the scale of the marina to the positioning of the suites and the quality of the finishes, is meant to create an experience that lives up to the Four Seasons name. It is not a ship with nice rooms. It is a floating Four Seasons resort.

Suites

There are no “cabins” onboard. Every accommodation is a proper suite, designed to feel like a Four Seasons hotel room that happens to be at sea. The focus is on light, space, and quiet luxury, not on squeezing as many people into small rooms as possible.

Each suite features floor-to-ceiling windows that bring in natural light and showcase open water views. Private terraces extend the living space outdoors, creating a seamless connection between your room and the sea. Interiors are calm and residential, with soft colors, warm materials, and thoughtful lighting.

Layouts are spacious and functional, with separate living and sleeping areas rather than one multipurpose space. Most suites include large wardrobes, elegant marble bathrooms with walk-in showers or soaking tubs, and plenty of storage. Finishes are clean and modern but not cold. It feels more like a contemporary coastal home than a ship.

The Funnel Suite at the bow is the centerpiece. It spans multiple decks with wraparound views from floor-to-ceiling glass, a private pool, and expansive outdoor space. It is designed more like a private residence than a suite.

Even the entry-level Seaview Suites are generous in size and finished to the same high standard, with the same attention to detail that Four Seasons brings to its hotels. This focus on space and comfort is one of the biggest differences between the yacht and traditional cruise ships.

Every suite is designed to feel private, quiet, and elevated, exactly what you would expect from Four Seasons, only with better views.

Dining

At first, I thought it was a bit strange that food and drinks were not included the way they are on many other yachts. But during our training with the Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts yacht team, they explained exactly why. The goal is to offer an elevated food and beverage experience, not mass-market, all-inclusive dining.

The yacht will feature 11 distinct dining and lounge experiences, including fine dining, casual terrace spaces, wine and cocktail bars, and destination pop-ups that change depending on the sailing. Some of these venues will operate at a level close to Michelin quality. To do that properly, they can’t offer a fully inclusive model. Instead, Four Seasons Yacht will provide daily dining credits that guests can use across the venues.

(Dining credit amounts will depend on the length of the sailing and the suite category. Early indications suggest around USD $100 per person per day for shorter sailings, increasing for longer itineraries.)

I actually think this is an excellent idea. There will be nights when we’ll want to have an exceptional, multi-course dining experience and other nights where a more relaxed à la carte dinner makes sense. This structure gives guests that flexibility without compromising on quality.

Why this works:

• Real restaurant experiences, not one main dining room.

• Elevated culinary quality, closer to Michelin level than cruise buffet.

• Freedom to eat where and when you like.

• Destination-inspired menus and pop-up dinners created by Four Seasons chefs.

• Better ingredients and more creativity because it isn’t mass inclusive.

Making the Dining Credits Work

• Credits can be used at any of the 11 onboard restaurants and bars.

• If you go over your daily credit, you simply pay the difference.

• Drinks, including premium wines and cocktails, are billed separately.

• Optional special dinners and events can be booked for something extra.

• It follows the same system Four Seasons uses at its hotels, focusing on quality rather than volume.

This gives guests the freedom to shape their own evenings, whether that means a refined tasting menu, a relaxed dinner by the water, or a simple drink at the bar. It’s flexible, elevated, and a clever way to do dining at sea.

Facilities Onboard

Even with only 95 suites, the onboard facilities are extensive and designed to feel more like a high-end resort than a cruise ship. Every space is intentionally sized and styled for a smaller number of guests, which means no crowding and no waiting in line.

• Beach Club & Marina with ocean pool, lounge decks, water toys, and direct access to the sea

• Multiple dining venues including fine dining, terrace, casual options, and destination pop-ups

• Bars and lounges including a wine bar, cocktail bar, and elegant lounge spaces for evening drinks

• Spa and wellness center with treatment rooms, steam and sauna, and beauty salon services

• Fitness studio with panoramic sea views, personal training options, and yoga and Pilates programming

• Observation decks and outdoor terraces for quiet time, sunset views, and scenic sailings

• Pool deck designed to feel like a private resort, not a traditional cruise ship pool area

• Library and quiet spaces for reading, relaxing, or working if needed

• Tender garage with sleek transfers to shore and easy marina access

• Boutique retail offering curated Four Seasons products and luxury travel essentials

• Private event and dining spaces that can be reserved for small groups or celebrations

• Culinary demonstration space for tastings, wine pairings, and chef-led experiences

• Open bridge experiences expected to be available on select sailings for guests who enjoy ship operations

Every part of the yacht is designed to feel open, calm, and residential, with warm finishes and thoughtful lighting. The overall feel is closer to a private island resort than a ship.
