Following its debut in the Caribbean in January 2026, the new Four Seasons cruise yacht, the Four Seasons I, has embarked on its maiden Mediterranean voyage. The inaugural Mediterranean season will take in Croatia, Gibraltar, Montenegro, Italy, Portugal, Spain, and Türkiye, with highlights including the Greek islands of Athens, Santorini, and Milos.
Built in the Fincantieri shipyard in Ancona, Italy, the vessel is claimed in PR releases to represent “a new frontier of ultra-luxury travel.” Spanning 207 metres, Four Seasons I offers 95 “expansive suites, all featuring generous indoor-outdoor living, and supported by a one-to-one guest-to-staff ratio.”
On board, guests enjoy surroundings designed by creatives such as Sweden’s Tillberg Design and Martin Brudnizki Design Studio, while on shore, they benefit from access to exclusive ports and yacht-only harbours.
“Today’s luxury traveller values time, trust, and authenticity above all,” says Ben Trodd, CEO, Marc-Henry Cruise Holdings Ltd., Joint Owner/Operator of Four Seasons Yachts. “At Four Seasons Yachts, we answer that call by combining our global standard for luxury hospitality with renowned maritime leadership, inviting our guests to explore the world from an entirely new vantage point,” he added.
When it comes to dining, the yacht has 11 distinct restaurants and lounges. From “refined Mediterranean seafood” and “an intimate omakase experience,” to tasting menus from a rotating roster of Michelin-starred chefs, passengers will be presented with “a true epicurean platform at sea.”
Social spaces such as the Horizon Bar, featuring its sea views, its own plunge pool and a striking open-air design, or the Bar O, a “design-forward lounge” dedicated to craft cocktails and rare spirits, help to shape the rhythm of each day on board.
And of course, wellness is not in short supply either. L’Oceana Spa is conceived as a sanctuary filled with premium treatments and amenities, including a hammam and a thermal circuit complete with a sauna, aromatic steam, and cold therapies. Treatments available include cryotherapy, infrared therapy beds, hydrotherapy, and advanced recovery, restoration, and longevity approaches. Guests can also partake in sunrise yoga and meditation, breathing sessions, and fitness training.
The first Mediterranean voyage of the Four Seasons I coincides with the 65th anniversary of Four Seasons and the opening of the company’s first hotel on the first day of spring in 1961. It’s a moment, the brand says, to celebrate its “enduring legacy of excellence” as well as “the beginning of a new chapter, as Four Seasons extends its globally recognized hospitality from land and sky to sea.”
Alejandro Reynal, President and Chief Executive Officer, Four Seasons, said: “Four Seasons Yachts is a continuation of the pioneering ambition on which Four Seasons was built, and will reflect the same genuine care, service excellence, and exceptional moments we create for guests on land. We are proud to introduce a new expression of our brand at sea, opening an entirely new horizon for our guests.”
With first-year visits to destinations synonymous with luxury, like Saint-Tropez, as well as lesser-frequented harbours including Hydra and Montenegro, the yacht will undertake 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.
