How to Book Four Seasons Yachts: Step-by-Step Guide
How to Book Four Seasons Yachts: Step-by-Step Guide
When Four Seasons announced its first-ever luxury yacht collection, it sent a ripple through the travel world. The brand that defined modern luxury hospitality on land is now setting sail — combining the sophistication of a Four Seasons resort with the adventure of a private superyacht voyage.
But with demand soaring and inaugural sailings already filling up, one question dominates:
How do you actually book a Four Seasons Yacht voyage?
In this guide, we’ll walk you step-by-step through the booking process, explain why working with a Four Seasons Yacht travel advisor gives you insider advantages, and help you secure your ideal suite before these voyages sell out.
🛳️ Step 1: Understand What Four Seasons Yachts Is
Four Seasons Yachts is a new ultra-luxury maritime experience launching in 2026 — an extension of the iconic Four Seasons brand into private yacht cruising.
The first vessel, built by Fincantieri in Italy, is designed to carry just 190 guests across 95 expansive suites, each featuring panoramic terraces, high ceilings, and the personalized service synonymous with Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts.
Every voyage will feel like staying at a private floating resort — but with the flexibility to explore new destinations each day.
Key highlights include:
Spacious suites averaging 581 square feet (largest in the luxury cruise category)
A dedicated guest-to-crew ratio of nearly 1:1
A Marina Deck for swimming, water sports, and tender access
Michelin-level dining and onboard spa by Four Seasons
Curated itineraries in the Mediterranean, Caribbean, and beyond
Before booking, decide what type of journey you want — adventure, relaxation, or a celebration at sea — as this will help you (and your travel advisor) select the perfect voyage and suite category.
🗺️ Step 2: Explore Itineraries and Destinations
The Four Seasons Yacht will debut with itineraries in the Mediterranean and Caribbean, offering a blend of iconic ports and hidden gems accessible only by small, private vessels.
Popular early itineraries include:
Greek Islands & Adriatic Coast — Athens, Santorini, Dubrovnik, and Kotor
Italian Riviera & Amalfi Coast — Portofino, Capri, and Positano
French Riviera & Monaco — Cannes, Saint-Tropez, and Monte Carlo
Caribbean Hideaways — St. Barths, Virgin Gorda, and Antigua
Future voyages are expected to include Northern Europe, the Red Sea, and the Seychelles.
Each itinerary is designed with an emphasis on longer port stays and fewer total guests — giving travelers an unhurried, personalized journey rarely found in cruising.
💡 Tip: Request detailed itineraries through a Four Seasons Yacht-certified advisor. Advisors often receive early access to unpublished voyage dates and suite categories before they go on public sale.
💼 Step 3: Choose Your Suite or Residence
One of the most defining features of Four Seasons Yachts is the scale and design of its accommodations.
Each suite is a sanctuary at sea, created by the same design teams behind the world’s most exclusive superyachts and Four Seasons private residences.
Suite categories include:
Terrace Suites: Elegant ocean-view suites with private terraces
Loft Suites: Two-level layouts with expansive living spaces
Funnel and Loft Residences: Ultra-private suites with panoramic views
Owner’s Suite: A 4,000+ sq. ft. penthouse residence with private spa and plunge pool
Every suite will include:
Floor-to-ceiling windows
Private terraces (some with plunge pools)
Marble bathrooms and walk-in wardrobes
Personalized butler service
🛋️ Insider Insight: Early bookings have shown strong demand for top-tier suites and residences. Booking 12–18 months in advance ensures the best selection and pricing.
🧭 Step 4: Work with a Four Seasons Yacht Travel Advisor
While you can register your interest on the official Four Seasons Yachts website, the most seamless and rewarding way to secure your voyage is through a Four Seasons Preferred Partner travel advisor.
Luxury advisors — such as Stars Desk — are part of the exclusive Four Seasons Preferred Partner program. This means they have direct access to the brand’s yacht booking channels and can offer:
Priority waitlist and suite selection
Personalized voyage recommendations
Exclusive booking amenities or onboard credits
Concierge coordination before, during, and after sailing
Advisors can also combine your voyage with Four Seasons resorts pre- and post-cruise stays, creating a seamless luxury experience from airport to embarkation.
✨ Pro Tip: When contacting your advisor, mention your preferred travel dates, region (Mediterranean, Caribbean, etc.), and suite type — this helps secure your reservation faster.
📅 Step 5: Select Dates and Secure Your Voyage
Once you’ve decided on your itinerary and suite type, your advisor will:
Confirm availability for your chosen voyage
Provide full pricing breakdown and inclusions
Hold your suite under a short-term courtesy hold
Finalize booking once your deposit is processed
Most Four Seasons Yacht deposits range from 15–25% of the total fare, depending on voyage duration.
The balance is typically due 90–120 days before sailing.
Since the first launch season is limited, demand is expected to exceed supply — especially for peak Mediterranean summer dates.
📈 Expert Tip: Secure your suite as early as possible. Early booking not only ensures your preferred accommodations but can also lock in launch pricing before annual rate adjustments.
🧳 Step 6: Personalize Your Experience
After your reservation is confirmed, the Four Seasons Yacht concierge team (in partnership with your advisor) will help you customize your voyage.
Personalization options include:
Pre- and post-cruise stays at Four Seasons resorts
Private transfers or chartered tenders
Shore excursions (vineyard tastings, private tours, diving expeditions)
Onboard dining preferences and dietary accommodations
Spa reservations, wellness sessions, and private events
Think of it as your own floating Four Seasons resort — every detail can be tailored, from your suite scent to your favorite wine selection.
⚓ Step 7: Prepare for Your Voyage
As your sailing date approaches, your advisor will guide you through logistics like:
Travel insurance options
Visa or entry requirements
Recommended packing list for your specific itinerary
Transfers between airport, hotel, and embarkation port
The embarkation process is designed to be smooth and private — with no large terminals or lines. Guests are personally greeted and escorted to their suites, where their butler welcomes them aboard with champagne.
🎒 Packing Tip: Resort chic and elegant evening attire are the norms. Four Seasons Yachts emphasizes relaxed sophistication — no formal dress codes required.
🌅 Step 8: Enjoy the Four Seasons Yacht Lifestyle
Once onboard, expect the same exceptional service Four Seasons is known for — now enhanced by ocean views and exclusive destinations.
Each day can unfold at your own pace:
Morning yoga or breakfast on your private terrace
Afternoon swim from the Marina Deck or explore a secluded island
Dinner at one of the yacht’s world-class restaurants
Evenings under the stars with live music or a private tasting
It’s a new category of travel — where the comfort of a private yacht meets the legendary hospitality of Four Seasons.
🏝️ Step 9: Extend Your Experience Beyond the Voyage
A Four Seasons Yacht voyage can be paired with resort extensions or private jet itineraries for an end-to-end luxury journey.
Popular combinations include:
Four Seasons Athens + Greek Isles Voyage
Four Seasons Cap-Ferrat + French Riviera Voyage
Four Seasons Nevis + Caribbean Voyage
Your advisor can seamlessly integrate hotel reservations, airport transfers, and VIP check-ins for a unified itinerary under one contact.
💬 Step 10: Rebook or Join the Waitlist for Future Voyages
With additional Four Seasons Yachts expected to launch in the coming years, loyal guests will enjoy early access to future itineraries and special launch sailings.
If your preferred voyage is sold out, your advisor can place you on a priority waitlist and notify you immediately of openings or new route releases.
