The company also shared more renderings of the suites, designed in collaboration with Tillberg Design of Sweden and the yacht’s creative director, Prosper Assouline.

In its inaugural year, Four Seasons Yachts will explore more than 130 destinations across over 30 countries and territories. Travelers can add pre- and post-cruise hotel and overland programs at Four Seasons hotels and resorts.

Seven-night Caribbean cruises

The first Caribbean itineraries stretch seven nights and visit yachting destinations including St. Barths, Nevis, the Grenadines, St. Lucia, Barbados, Martinique, Guadeloupe, Curaçao and Aruba. Destination highlights include indulging in St' Barths' nightlife, discovering Martinique’s volcanic coral reefs and rain forest landscapes and a marina day in St. Lucia’s Tobago Cays.

Mediterranean jaunts, from Gibraltar to Greece

The first Mediterranean voyages will begin in March 2026 with sailings through Croatia, Gibraltar, Montenegro, Italy, Portugal, Spain and Türkiye. Greek Islands destinations include Piraeus, Ios, Santorini and Milos.

Suites — a 'sanctuary of tranquility'

The suites are designed to be a 'sanctuary of tranquility with panoramic views, elegant interiors, thoughtful details and a residential feel.'

'Our goal was to craft an environment that feels both familiar and extraordinary, with warm hues and open designs,' said Fredrik Johannson, partner and executive director, Tillberg Design of Sweden. 'We are creating an inviting, welcoming environment that reflects the same feeling one experiences at a Four Seasons hotel or resort.

'At the same time,' he added, 'we are designing a look and feel that is unique to this project, creating an elegant yet simple interior that stands out on its own, while blending beautifully with the majestic seas that will surround it.'

Adjoining suites will feature an innovative system that connects accommodations with modular walls, offering numerous options of vertical and horizontal combinations within the signature suites. This versatility will unlock more than 100 different connection options and the opportunity to reserve an entire side of a deck, ideal for those traveling with family, friends or larger groups.

For example, this one-of-a-kind design will allow for more than 13,000 square feet/1,200 square meters) of total living space.

Funnel and loft suites

The largest accommodations are seven signature suites ranging from 2,981 to 9,975 square feet/277 to 927 square meters of indoor and outdoor living space. They offer two to three bedrooms, separate living rooms, indoor and outdoor dining space, splash pools, outdoor showers and the option to connect to additional suites.

The top signature suites — the funnel and loft suites — both feature three bedrooms, outdoor showers and splash pools.
