What Are Four Seasons Yachts?

Four Seasons Yachts is the ultra-luxury cruising arm of Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, operated by Marc-Henry Cruise Holdings Ltd. under CEO Larry Pimentel. The brand debuted its first vessel, Four Seasons I, in March 2026 with a fleet concept that redefines the category — offering ~50% more space per guest than any rival luxury cruise line and a hotel-style pricing model that charges per suite rather than per person.

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 members — a true 1:1 service ratio. Suites were designed by Prosper Assouline with interiors by Martin Brudnizki, and 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.

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, depending on suite category, destination, and sailing season. The entry-level Seaview Suite starts at approximately $1,900 per suite per night on transatlantic crossings and rises to $3,350 per suite per night on peak-season Greek Isles itineraries. Pricing is charged per suite rather than per person, following a hotel-style model that allows couples and families to split the cost without per-person surcharges.

Pricing by Suite Category (7-Night Voyage)

Rates are indicative starting prices in USD and vary by departure date and inventory. Final quotes are confirmed at the time of booking through Stars Desk. All listed rates are per suite for the full 7-night voyage and exclude food, alcoholic beverages, spa treatments, shore excursions, and gratuities.

Additional On-Board Costs to Budget

• Food & beverage: Four Seasons estimates guests will spend approximately $250 per person per day on lunch, dinner, and drinks à la carte.
• Spa treatments: Billed separately.
• Private speedboat excursions & shore experiences: Booked and billed separately.
• Gratuities: Voyage fare contributes to crew recognition; discretionary tipping is not required.

Are Four Seasons Yachts All-Inclusive?

No — Four Seasons Yachts is not an all-inclusive cruise line. The brand follows a hotel-style à la carte model rather than the all-inclusive pricing standard of most luxury cruise operators (Silversea, Regent, Seabourn). Voyage fares cover your suite, breakfast, light snacks, and most onboard activities, but lunch, dinner, alcoholic beverages, spa treatments, and shore excursions are billed separately. Four Seasons estimates additional spending at approximately $250 per guest per day for food and beverage.

Why this matters: When comparing a Four Seasons yacht fare to 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. That said, the per-suite (not per-person) pricing model means couples often come out ahead — and the 'pay-for-what-you-use' approach appeals to guests who prefer lighter dining or fewer excursions.

Captain Kate McCue: Inaugural Captain

Captain Kate McCue joined Four Seasons Yachts as its inaugural captain after a celebrated tenure with Celebrity Cruises, where she became the first American woman to captain a mega cruise ship. Known to more than three million social media followers for her humour, transparency, and commitment to crew culture, Captain McCue now commands the Four Seasons I, overseeing both navigation and the onboard guest experience. Her appointment underscores Four Seasons Yachts' commitment to best-in-class maritime leadership paired with warm, approachable hospitality.

Four Seasons Yachts Dining: 11 Restaurants & Bars

Four Seasons I houses eleven culinary venues — more per guest than any competing luxury yacht. Breakfast is complimentary; lunch, dinner, and alcoholic beverages are à la carte.

Four Seasons Yachts vs Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection

Four Seasons Yachts and the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection both debuted as hotel-branded luxury yacht operators, but the two products differ significantly in size, pricing model, and inclusions. Four Seasons charges per suite and bills dining à la carte; Ritz-Carlton charges per person with a broadly inclusive fare. Four Seasons suites are approximately 58% larger (500 sq ft entry versus 300 sq ft for Ritz-Carlton's Evrima).

Both brands appeal to ultra-luxury travellers, but Four Seasons Yachts offers more space, better service ratios, and greater flexibility; Ritz-Carlton offers broader inclusions and a larger, more established fleet. Stars Desk represents both brands and can help you weigh the two side-by-side for a specific voyage.
