Four Seasons Yachts has revealed new details about
Four Seasons II, the second vessel in its growing fleet, scheduled to enter
service in 2028. Building on the debut of Four Seasons I earlier this year, the
new yacht will introduce a collection of residential-style suites designed to
bring the comforts of a luxury home to the ultra-luxury cruise experience.
The announcement marks the next phase of Four Seasons’
expansion into the yachting sector, with a continued focus on privacy,
personalised service and spacious accommodation.
Residential-style living takes centre stage
A key innovation aboard Four Seasons II will be the
introduction of Yacht Residential Suites, a new accommodation category designed
for guests seeking additional space, flexibility and exclusivity.
Located on the yacht’s upper decks, the suites will
range from two to four bedrooms and are aimed at extended stays, family travel
and multi-generational groups. The residential concept includes open-plan
living areas, private terraces and dedicated entertainment spaces.
Selected suites will also feature private splash
pools, outdoor showers and wellness-oriented amenities. Integrated lifestyle
kitchens and dining areas will further enhance the residential experience,
while dedicated concierge services will provide personalised arrangements both
on board and ashore.
Intimate scale with highly personalised service
Four Seasons II will feature just 79 suites,
maintaining the intimate atmosphere established by the first vessel. Guests
will benefit from a one-to-one guest-to-staff ratio, reinforcing the brand’s
emphasis on highly personalised service.
The yacht will offer a range of culinary concepts,
wellness programmes and curated itineraries designed to create a more private
and tailored experience at sea.
“Following an exceptional launch for this new venture,
we are thoughtfully expanding our fleet in a way that continues to elevate the
experience,” said Ben Trodd, CEO of Marc-Henry Cruise Holdings Ltd., joint
owner and operator of Four Seasons Yachts.
“Four Seasons II builds on this foundation,
introducing new offerings on the water while deepening personalization and
expanding access through the introduction of residential-scale suites. Every
detail has been considered to ensure guests feel an effortless sense of home,
wherever they are sailing.”
Building on the success of Four Seasons I
According to the company, the second vessel advances
the design principles introduced aboard Four Seasons I while further enhancing
craftsmanship, innovation and guest comfort.
The concept reflects a growing demand among luxury
travellers for more spacious accommodation, greater privacy and experiences
that combine the service standards of a luxury hotel with the freedom of life
at sea.
“Four Seasons has always been defined by the quality
of experience we create and the genuine care with which we deliver it,” said
Alejandro Reynal, President and CEO of Four Seasons.
“Our first vessel has shown how naturally this extends
to sea. With Four Seasons II, we will continue to build on that foundation,
creating experiences that feel deeply personal, thoughtfully designed, and
unmistakably Four Seasons.”
Bookings open for inaugural voyages
Bookings for the inaugural season of Four Seasons II
are now open. Guests will be able to experience a new interpretation of luxury
yachting that combines residential-style accommodation, personalised
hospitality and curated travel experiences across some of the world’s most
sought-after destinations.
With the launch of Four Seasons II, the company
continues to position itself in the growing ultra-luxury cruise segment,
offering a product that blends the exclusivity of a private yacht with the
service and comfort associated with the Four Seasons brand.
