Four Seasons is doubling down on yachting. 

The luxury hotel group, which launched its first 679-foot gigayacht in March, just unveiled a second, more exclusive vessel. The new, aptly named Four Seasons II takes design cues from Four Seasons 1 but is set to have an even more residential feel throughout. 

“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., the joint owner/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.”

The newcomer will measure 679 feet like its predecessor, but will offer only 79 suites rather than 95. It will also introduce a new type of top-tier accommodation the company is calling “Yacht Residential Suites.” Positioned across the upper decks, these expansive suites are conceived as a home away from home, offering space, privacy, and flexibility. 

Each one showcases open-plan living quarters with a kitchen, dining space, entertainment areas, and two to four bedrooms, plus a private terrace. Select suites also come with private splash pools, outdoor showers, and other wellness-focused features. Guests can, of course, expect top-notch service, with a dedicated concierge on hand to arrange everything from personalized dining to bespoke experiences at sea or on land. 

“Every detail has been considered to ensure guests feel an effortless sense of home, wherever they are sailing,” adds Trodd.

Beyond the suites themselves, seafarers will have access to multiple restaurants, a spa, and other amenities. Curated excursions and activities are also on the cards. To top it off, a one-to-one guest-to-staff ratio makes it feel as if you’re staying in your favorite Four Seasons.

Four Seasons is one of several hospitality heavyweights, including Ritz-Carlton, Belmond, Aman, and Orient Express, hoping to offer more personalized experiences at sea with vessels that are closer to superyachts than traditional cruise ships. 

Four Seasons II is expected to debut in 2028. Itineraries include a seven-night Mediterranean adventure from Greece to Egypt, a week-long Adriatic voyage from Croatia to Italy, and a five-night Riviera trip from Spain to Monaco, for example. (The full list of sailings can be found here.) Late stays and overnights will be woven into each itinerary, too.

Voyages for the inaugural season are now open for booking via the Four Seasons Yachts website.
