⚡ New in 2025

Four Seasons Yachts launched its first ship in 2025. Full reviews are limited — we'll update this profile as more guest experiences are reported.

Overview

Four Seasons Yachts represents the most anticipated launch in luxury cruising in years. The Four Seasons brand — with its 60-year reputation for service standards that set the benchmark across global hospitality — has finally brought that DNA to a dedicated fleet of ships.

At ~190 guests per ship, this is the most intimate offering in the modern luxury cruise category, sitting closer to a private yacht charter experience than a conventional cruise. The price reflects that — but for travelers who measure a trip by the quality of its quiet moments, this may be the most compelling option afloat.

What to expect

Based on early guest reports and pre-launch details, the Four Seasons Yachts experience is built around three principles that align with the brand's land reputation: anticipatory service (staff know your preferences before you state them), exceptional food (multiple dining venues with serious culinary ambition), and design that prioritizes comfort over spectacle.

The suites are among the largest in this category — befitting a brand that built its reputation partly on room size and the quality of its beds. The staff-to-guest ratio is exceptionally high.

At ~190 guests, the social environment is closer to an ultra-exclusive private club than anything else in the cruise market. You will know your fellow guests.
