An
Experiential Luxury Ecosystem
As

world-class portfolio – including property collections across Mexico, Hawaii, Japan and China and along with its Safari and Island Collection – Four Seasons also
offers unparalleled experiences through its renowned Private Jet Experience and
soon-to-launch Yacht.
The Four Seasons Private Jet Experience, now in its 10th year,
has redefined luxury air travel, achieving a 30% repeat guest rate and record
guest satisfaction scores, including a high intent to travel again. With its
recently redesigned aircraft, the jet operated eight itineraries last year,
offering extended and curated travel experiences across 43 global destinations.
2025 trips are driving increased interest and demand, surpassing the same
period last year, and the majority of trips already sold out.
Excitement
is also building towards the highly anticipated launch of Four Seasons Yachts, with its inaugural voyage set
for January 2026. Featuring 95 all-suite accommodations crafted by an
impressive roster of world-renowned designers, the Yacht will bring the brand's
signature service to the seas with voyages in the Caribbean and the Mediterranean next year.
Both
the Four Seasons Private Jet Experience and Four Seasons Yachts remain integral
components of the brand's experiential luxury ecosystem, reflecting a
commitment to innovation and transformative travel that affirms Four Seasons
