When Four Seasons enters a category, it tends to reset expectations. Four Seasons I, the brand's first yacht, launched in 2026 with 95 residential-style suites and a Caribbean itinerary built around easy, direct-flight embarkation ports.
The Ship
Four Seasons I carries 95 suites, designed with the same indoor-outdoor, residential-style living the brand is known for on land. Given the recent launch, this is genuinely new — worth booking early while it remains the most-talked-about entry in luxury cruising.
The Itinerary
The yacht sails the Caribbean — St. Barts, Nevis, the Grenadines, St. Lucia, Barbados, Martinique, Guadeloupe, Curaçao, and Aruba — with most embarkation ports reachable via direct flight from major U.S. gateways.
Who This Line Is Actually For
This is the pick for Four Seasons loyalists and Caribbean milestone trips wanting the newest thing in luxury cruising, especially clients who value the easy access of direct-flight embarkation over a longer transatlantic repositioning.
Best Time to Sail
December through April, the Caribbean dry season, ahead of hurricane season — the same window that governs most Caribbean sailings in this category.
The Details That Matter Before You Book
Given the 2026 launch, there's no published alcohol policy yet — confirm current terms directly at time of booking. Dining, most beverages, and gratuities are expected to follow the Four Seasons all-inclusive style, though this hasn't been formally published either. Dress code is expected to be resort elegant, consistent with Four Seasons' land-based properties, with no formal nights anticipated.
The One-Line Takeaway
Book early. As the newest and most anticipated launch in luxury cruising, Four Seasons Yachts is likely to see strong early demand — and several operational details are still being finalized as the brand settles into its first season.
