Four Seasons Yachts: 2026-2027 Voyages, Suites & Preferred Partner Benefits
Book the Four Seasons I - the 95-suite, 222-guest ultra-luxury yacht that launched in March 2026 - through Stars Desk, a Four Seasons Preferred Partner (Ovation Network Member). Unlock onboard credits, priority suite selection, and VIP perks available only through accredited FS advisors.
What is Four Seasons Yachts? Four Seasons Yachts is the ultra-luxury cruise line of Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts - a branded yacht-voyage product you book as a cabin-style suite for a scheduled sailing.
To avoid a common mix-up, Four Seasons Yachts is not:
- a category of "all-weather" or "year-round" yachts built for sale, and not a yacht manufacturer, dealer, or brokerage;
- a private-charter company or yacht-rental service (you book a suite on a shared vessel, not the whole boat - though full-yacht charters are possible on request);
- a Four Seasons hotel loyalty program, and not the same as the Four Seasons Preferred Partner hotel programme.
It is one purpose-built vessel today - Four Seasons I - operated by Marc-Henry Cruise Holdings Ltd. under the Four Seasons brand, sailing the Mediterranean and Caribbean, with Four Seasons II to follow in 2027.

What Are Four Seasons Yachts?
Unlike traditional cruise operators, Four Seasons Yachts was designed from a blank sheet to feel like a floating Four Seasons resort. The yacht carries a maximum of 222 guests across 95 suites, supported by 180 crew - a true 1:1 service ratio. The suites were designed by Tillberg Design of Sweden with Prosper Assouline as creative director and public spaces shaped by designer Martin Brudnizki, taking cues from the golden-age yacht Christina O once owned by Aristotle Onassis. Every accommodation features floor-to-ceiling windows, spacious private terraces, and proportions that dwarf anything found on competing vessels.
The 679-foot vessel was built by Italian shipyard Fincantieri at an investment of €400 million and sails year-round: summer seasons in the Mediterranean (Rivieras, Greek Isles, Adriatic, Grand Mediterranean) and winter seasons in the Caribbean (Lesser Antilles, Bahamas, Grand Caribbean), with shoulder-season Atlantic crossings in between. A second yacht, Four Seasons II, is scheduled to enter service in 2027 with 79 suites - including 12 Yacht Residential Suites of up to four bedrooms, positioned as the largest accommodations at sea.

Additional on-board costs to budget
- Food & beverage: Four Seasons estimates about $250 per person per day for lunch, dinner, and drinks à la carte - see the real cost of dining on board.
- Spa treatments: billed separately.
- Private speedboat excursions & shore experiences: booked and billed separately.
- Gratuities: the voyage fare contributes to crew recognition; discretionary tipping is not required.
Are Four Seasons Yachts All-Inclusive?
This is the most-debated feature of the brand. Four Seasons' own reasoning is twofold: many guests prefer to dine ashore while in port, and travelers don't want to pre-pay for meals and drinks they may not consume. The upside is flexibility - no pressure to "eat back on the ship" to justify a fare - and, because pricing is per suite, couples often come out ahead of a per-person all-inclusive. The trade-off is that guests who value a single all-in price (the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection model) may prefer that structure. If that's you, our Four Seasons Yachts vs the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection comparison weighs the two side by side.
What is included
- Suite accommodation (per-suite pricing)
- Complimentary breakfast in designated restaurants
- Light snacks throughout the day
- Access to all 11 restaurants and bars
- Non-motorised water sports (kayaks, pedalboards, inflatable waterboards)
- Fitness centre, spa facilities, pools
- All port taxes and fees
- Outstanding Four Seasons service (1:1 ratio)
- Shipboard employee recognition (built into fare)
What is not included
- Lunch and dinner à la carte (~$150-$250 per person/day)
- Wines, spirits, beers, and speciality beverages
- Spa treatments and personal training
- Private speedboat experiences and shore excursions
- Hair salon services
- Premium Wi-Fi upgrades
- Travel to and from the embarkation port
For a line-by-line breakdown, see exactly what is included in a Four Seasons yacht fare. Why it matters: versus an all-inclusive competitor like Regent or Silversea, add roughly $1,400-$1,750 per person for a 7-night voyage for a like-for-like comparison.

FAQFour Seasons Yachts FAQ
How much does a Four Seasons yacht trip cost?
A Four Seasons yacht trip costs between $20,000 and $350,000 per suite for a standard 7-night voyage. The entry-level Seaview Suite starts around $1,900 per suite per night on transatlantic crossings and reaches roughly $3,350 per suite per night on peak Greek Isles sailings. The flagship Funnel Suite - a four-deck, 9,601-square-foot residence - can reach about $350,000 per week in peak summer.
What is the price per person on Four Seasons Yachts?
There is no per-person fare. Four Seasons Yachts charges per suite, like a hotel room, regardless of whether one or two guests occupy it (within the suite's capacity). Two travellers sharing an entry Seaview Suite from $20,000 for the week therefore effectively pay from about $10,000 each, before à la carte dining and beverages of roughly $250 per person per day.
How much is the Funnel Suite on a Four Seasons yacht?
The Funnel Suite - the four-deck flagship residence within the yacht's glass funnel - starts around $200,000 per suite for a 7-night voyage and can reach roughly $350,000 per week in peak Mediterranean season, depending on itinerary and dates.
Are Four Seasons Yachts all-inclusive?
No. Four Seasons Yachts uses a hotel-style à la carte model. Your fare covers the suite, breakfast, light snacks, and most onboard activities; lunch, dinner, alcoholic beverages, spa treatments, and shore excursions are billed separately, with Four Seasons estimating about $250 per guest per day for food and beverage.
What is the guest capacity of the Four Seasons yacht?
Four Seasons I carries a maximum of 222 guests across 95 suites, with 180 crew - a true 1:1 crew-to-guest ratio. Typical sailings average around 190 guests, which is why space per guest is roughly 50% greater than on rival luxury cruise lines.
How many suites are on the Four Seasons yacht?
The Four Seasons I has 95 all-suite accommodations, ranging from the 473-square-foot Seaview Suite to the 9,601-square-foot, four-deck Funnel Suite. Average suite size (indoor plus outdoor) is 581 square feet, and 60% of suites exceed 818 square feet.
Are Four Seasons yacht deck plans available?
Yes. Four Seasons I has 14 decks, with suites arranged from the Seaview categories up to the multi-deck Loft and Funnel Suites. You can review the layout deck by deck in our Four Seasons I deck plans guide.

Four Seasons I, the brand's inaugural vessel, launched in March 2026 and currently sails the Mediterranean in summer and the Caribbean in winter. A second yacht, Four Seasons II, is expected to enter service in 2027.
Who owns Four Seasons Yachts?
Four Seasons Yachts is operated by Marc-Henry Cruise Holdings Ltd. as joint owner/operator, licensing the Four Seasons brand for maritime operations, with Larry Pimentel as CEO and President; the vessel was built by Fincantieri. This is separate from the ownership of Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts itself, which is held by Bill Gates' Cascade Investment and Kingdom Holding.
Who is the captain of Four Seasons Yachts?
Captain Kate McCue is the inaugural captain of Four Seasons I. She previously captained mega-ships for Celebrity Cruises and is the first American woman to captain a major cruise ship, with over three million social-media followers.
Where does the Four Seasons yacht sail?
Four Seasons I sails summer seasons in the Mediterranean (Rivieras, Greek Isles, Adriatic and Dalmatian Coast, Grand Mediterranean) and winter seasons in the Caribbean (Lesser Antilles, Bahamas, Grand Caribbean). Shoulder-season transatlantic crossings connect the two regions, and the itinerary network reaches more than 130 destinations.
Is there a dress code on Four Seasons Yachts?
Yes - resort elegant throughout the yacht, with smart casual by day and elevated evening wear in signature restaurants such as Sedna. There are no formal black-tie nights, reflecting the brand's Four Seasons hotel heritage rather than traditional cruise formality.
Can families book a Four Seasons yacht voyage?
Yes. The yacht offers more than 100 connecting-suite options, ideal for multi-generational groups, and the Loft Suite can combine with up to seven adjacent suites to accommodate 20 guests. The Kids For All Seasons programme (ages 4-12) is available on select sailings, with a Teen Program in development.
Is Wi-Fi available on Four Seasons Yachts?
Yes. Complimentary Wi-Fi is available throughout the yacht, with premium bandwidth upgrades for guests who need high-speed streaming or business-grade connectivity.
