Setting sail on 25 January 2026, the highly anticipated Four Seasons I will mark the beginning of an extraordinary journey as the first vessel in the brand’s new yacht fleet. With an inaugural season spanning 130 handpicked destinations across the Caribbean, Mediterranean and Bahamas, the experience promises to redefine the art of luxury travel.
Guests aboard Four Seasons I can choose from a curated selection of immersive activities in each destination or work alongside an expert Experience Concierge to craft a bespoke itinerary shaped by global insight and deep local knowledge.
The result? A journey as individual as each guest, where every shore excursion becomes a meaningful memory.
The new yacht brand is the result of a prestigious partnership between Marc-Henry Cruise Holdings LTD (Joint Owner/Operator), the legendary Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri, and Four Seasons’ iconic hospitality. At the heart of the vessel are 95 elegantly appointed, residential-style suites, including the showstopping 9,975-square-foot (927-square-metre) Funnel Suite—a sanctuary featuring floor-to-ceiling wraparound glass windows, said to be the largest contiguous glass installation at sea. Meanwhile, the bespoke transverse marina offers expansive openings from port to starboard, connecting guests directly to the sea in style.
“There are so many different ways one can explore a destination, but today’s luxury traveller wants to discover extraordinary places in new, exclusive and unique ways,” says Geoff Burleton, Vice President of Shore and Sea Experiences for Four Seasons Yachts.
“Meaningful access is what transforms a destination from something you’ve seen to something you’ve truly experienced.”
Each voyage has been thoughtfully designed to reflect the culture, history and natural splendour of its surroundings. Shore and sea experiences are categorised by interest—Adventure, Exploration, Culture, Culinary, Relaxation and Shopping—and led by a diverse team of local experts, from historians and geologists to cricketing legends. Standout itineraries include:
Private Dive in Saba, Sint Maarten – Arrive by private plane to one of the Caribbean’s most revered dive sites for a guided underwater exploration with a certified instructor.
Vintage Car Tour and Gourmet Lunch, Argentario, Italy – Cruise through the wild beauty of Maremma in a vintage Spider before enjoying a chef-hosted, Michelin-starred lunch at Da Caino and a cellar tour.
After-Hours Access to the Acropolis, Greece – Take a guided evening tour of Athens culminating in exclusive, after-dark access to the Acropolis and a fine-dining experience nearby.
Truffle Hunting and Private Winery Dining, Piran, Slovenia – Embark on a private truffle hunt before a visit to the Rodica Winery and an indulgent truffle-themed meal paired with premium vintages.
Tee Off at Sandy Lane, St. Vincent and the Grenadines – Fly by private plane to one of the Caribbean’s top golf courses, followed by an insider’s tour of Canouan’s hidden gems.

For those desiring an even more personalised experience, Experience Concierges are on hand to curate one-of-a-kind journeys tailored to individual interests and passions.
