Tl;dr – First announced way back in 2022, initially with a 2025 expected sailing date, the luxury hotel chain will launch its first cruise yacht in January 2026.
Following a host of delays and leadership changes, the Four Seasons Yacht Collection will finally take to the seas in a few months. Scheduled for its first sailing in January 2026, the “Four Seasons I” (love the creativity there, btw) will initially take cruisers around the Caribbean, stopping at destinations like the Grenadines, St. Lucia, and Martinique.
Measuring in at 679 ft (“6’6, 250 out of Toronto”, lol), the Four Seasons I will have 95 suites onboard, though I think the most impressive stat is the projected 1:1 crew-to-passenger ratio. As more luxury brands are getting their ‘sea legs,’ one wonders what each brand will lean on as a calling card to get new and existing customers to try out a water excursion. For Four Seasons, it’s undoubtedly its service commitment.

For dining, guests are in for “unrivaled gastronomy,” as there will be Michelin-calibre dining at sea, spread across five outlets (not including in-room dining): Terrasse, Miuna, Sedna, Pistachio and Marina Bar. There’s also a champagne and caviar bar and cigar lounge.
The yacht’s pool deck is the centerpiece of the boat.
Cruisers can also enjoy some wellness time at the yacht’s spa or in the fitness center.
Each journey will have the option of localized shoreside escapes, such as “truffle hunting in Viareggio, Italy, golfing in Saint-Tropez, France, taking a private helicopter flight from Falmouth, Antigua for lunch at the exclusive Nobu Restaurant in Barbuda, or snorkeling and swimming from a private luxury motor boat in Frenchman’s Cay, British Virgin Islands.”
For its initial launch, pricing starts at $26,700 per suite for a 7-night trip. You know, something slight. 😉
