Four Seasons I, the hotel group’s first foray into the world of luxury cruising, reimagines the private yacht experience for well-heeled travellers.
Purpose-built from the ground up and shaped entirely around the guest experience, Four Seasons Ipairs the exclusivity and freedom of a private yacht with Four Seasons personalized service and experiences alongside an exceptional culinary vision, integrative wellness offerings, and curated art and design.
Ultra-Luxury at Sea
The Four Seasons 1, which departed on her maiden voyage 20 March to coincide with the 65th anniversary of the opening of the first Four Seasons hotel back in 1961, spans 207 metres and has been conceived as a residential-inspired vessel that elevates the yachting experience.
The yacht’s design – the work of Tillberg Design of Sweden and Martin Brudnizki Design Studio – subtly references the golden age of yachting, drawing inspiration from the legendary superyacht Christina O, reinterpreted through a contemporary lens. Meticulously designed with just 95 expansive suites, all featuring generous indoor-outdoor living, no interior cabins, and supported by a one-to-one guest-to-staff ratio, the Yacht enables a level of personalization and comfort rarely experienced in a seaborne setting.
The vessel prioritizes light-filled, open spaces where the surrounding environment remains the focal point. Floor-to-ceiling windows, generous terraces, and thoughtfully integrated outdoor elements blur the boundary between interior and the sea.
Among the yacht’s most exceptional accommodations, the spectacular 929-square-metre Funnel Suite is positioned at the forward-facing prow, offering sweeping panoramic views while the 743-square-metre Loft Suite features an expansive aft-facing terrace.
Culinary Excellence at Sea
Culinary artistry sets Four Seasons I apart as a gastronomic destination in its own right, with a staggering 11 distinct restaurants and lounges – from refined Mediterranean seafood to an intimate omakase experience – each with a steadfast commitment to craftsmanship and local and seasonal sourcing.
Serving as the centrepiece of the onboard offering, Sedna will introduce the signature Chef-in-Residence series, which welcomes a rotating roster of talent from Michelin-starred Four Seasons restaurants, including Christian Le Squer of Le Cinq at Four Seasons Hotel George V, Paris; Luca Piscazzi of Pelagos in Athens; Guillaume Galliot of Caprice in Hong Kong; Yoric Tièche of Le Cap in Cap-Ferrat; and Paolo Lavezzini of Il Palagio in Florence. These limited engagements introduce immersive tasting menus and singular dining journeys, transforming each meal into a celebration of place, craft, and culture.
Culinary experiences extend beyond the restaurants and into a collection of thoughtfully conceived social spaces designed to shape the rhythm of each day on board. These include Horizon Bar, with its plunge pool and striking open-air design, and Bar O, an intimate, design-forward lounge dedicated to craft cocktails and rare spirits.
Wellness Guided by the Five Elements
Wellness is woven throughout the Four Seasons Yachts experience and is anchored by L’Oceana Spa. Guided by the five elements of vitality and inspired by the restorative power of the sea, this sanctuary offers premium treatments and amenities, including a hammam and a thermal circuit complete with a sauna, aromatic steam, and cold therapies.
Additional innovations and treatments available include cryotherapy, infrared therapy beds, hydrotherapy, and advanced recovery treatments designed to support restoration and longevity throughout the journey and beyond.
The spa’s dedicated reflection lounge offers a tranquil space for rest and contemplation, while tailored wellness menus and culinary offerings accommodate a wide range of dietary preferences and nutritional goals.
Innovation at Sea Level & On Land
Dedicated Marina Days further enhance time at sea, with the yacht’s transverse marina – which opens across both sides of the vessel – transforming into a private retreat with direct sea access, water sports, and curated recreational programming.
Beyond time on board, each voyage is complemented by custom shore and sea experiences tailored in advance by the dedicated Four Seasons Yachts Experiences team to reflect individual passions. Each voyage unfolds differently, offering activities that range from secluded coastal explorations and private cultural encounters to coveted dining reservations and bespoke adventures that bring each destination to life.
In its debut year, the Yacht will introduce 32 voyages across 52 sailings, exploring 130 distinct destinations in more than 30 countries and territories throughout the Mediterranean in summer and the Caribbean and Bahamas in winter.
