The owner of Four Seasons Yachts has engaged Italian shipyard Fincantieri to build the second vessel for the new ultra-luxury, small-ship cruise line, for delivery in 2026. The order is worth 400 million euros (over CAD $575 million.)
The first ship for the line was ordered from the shipyard in 2022 and is scheduled for delivery in late 2025.
“The signing of our second vessel contract with Fincantieri is another milestone in the development of Four Seasons Yachts," said Larry Pimentel, President and CEO of Marc-Henry Cruise Holdings LTD, Joint Owner/Operator of Four Seasons Yachts in a release.
"Our partnership with Fincantieri and Four Seasons creates a powerful triumvirate of expertise that is committed to delivering a “category of one” luxury lifestyle yacht experience. I am proud of the talented team and collaboration behind this stunning enterprise project”.
Alejandro Reynal, President and CEO, Four Seasons added, “With each Four Seasons experience we deliver, we have an unwavering commitment to excellence. In the case of Four Seasons Yachts, we are achieving this by collaborating with exceptional partners like Fincantieri and Marc-Henry Cruise Holdings who share our vision for a one-of-a-kind luxury yachting experience. We are proud to extend our partnership with Fincantieri on this next vessel and look forward to embarking on our first nautical journey together soon”.
Anticipating the New Four Seasons Yachts
As Open Jaw has reported, the first Four Seasons vessel will be 679 feet long and 88.6 feet wide with 14 decks. At a cost to build of USD $4.2 million per suite, Four Seasons claims that "no expense is being spared in terms of the remarkable custom design. The first Four Seasons Yacht will offer nearly 50 percent more living space per guest than currently available, offering ultimate privacy, flexibility and spaciousness in an all-suite nautical residential setting."
Four Seasons says the newbuild will be characterized by "bespoke craftsmanship, personalized service and a dedication to excellence, appealing to discerning guests looking to reimagine their love of travel by experiencing the splendour of modern sea voyaging."
A Preview of The Four Seasons Yacht Experience
The vessel’s 95 accommodations will feature joining suite combinations creating adaptable, villa-like residences with nearly 8-foot ceilings. Each suite will offer floor-to-ceiling windows providing unobstructed natural light and access to expansive terrace decks.
Suite accommodations will start at an average of 581 square feet of indoor/outdoor living space, designed seamlessly to be part of each room. Sixty percent of the vessel’s inventory is in excess of 818 square feet of indoor/outdoor space. The most expansive residence, the “Funnel Suite” will have four levels, offering more than 9,601 square feet of combined indoor/outdoor living space, including a private wading pool and dedicated private spa area, creating a sea view home away from home.
Four Seasons Guest Experience at Sea
The vessel’s restaurants, lounges and bar concepts will celebrate Four Seasons' signature lifestyle. A perfect cappuccino in the lobby, a Mediterranean-inspired lunch, a dinner tasting at the sushi bar or a glass of champagne on the breathtaking terrace – guests will never be far from a perfect bite always paired with remarkable sea views, renowned intuitive service, and much more.
The Four Seasons Yacht will also offer guests a full-service spa, salon, and wellness programming – from fitness to health, and nutrition. The classic canoe-shaped aft will be home to a pool deck. This area will also transform into an outdoor movie theatre or space for an array of private events. Four Seasons says the "industry-first transverse marina" will provide guests access to the sea, sunbathing, water sports and accessories.
More of the vessel’s features and programming will be revealed leading up to the vessel’s delivery in late 2025.
The onboard yacht experience will be led and staffed by a dedicated Four Seasons Yacht team to bring each voyage’s itinerary and destinations to life. The vessel will have an industry-leading staff-to-guest ratio to deliver highly personalized service.
