Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts Sets Sail with Its First Luxury Yacht in March 2026
Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts is poised to make a splash in the cruise industry with the launch of Four Seasons I, the luxury hotel brand’s inaugural yacht. Set to debut in the Mediterranean in March 2026, this all-suite vessel will accommodate a select 190 guests across 95 residential-style suites. Suite sizes range from a cozy 581 square feet to an extraordinary 9,601 square feet.
Distinct from traditional cruising, the yacht introduces a unique pricing model. Accommodations are priced per cabin rather than per passenger, and dining and drinks are offered à la carte, not included in the rate. The vessel boasts 11 dining venues and bars, and a sprawling marina spanning two decks. With up to 7,275 square feet of outdoor and indoor space, and a near 1:1 staff-to-guest ratio, personalized service is guaranteed.
Four Seasons I will be under the command of social media personality, Captain Kate McCue. The yacht will also feature menus created by a rotating roster of Four Seasons chefs. The inaugural sailing is scheduled for March 20, 2026, embarking on a nine-night Grand Mediterranean voyage from Malaga to Trapani.
This launch signifies Four Seasons’ foray into the competitive ultra-luxury small ship cruising sector. It joins the ranks of prestigious hotel brands like Ritz-Carlton and Orient Express, expanding their reach from land to sea.
