Four Seasons Yachts’ inaugural vessel Four Seasons I, has embarked on its maiden voyage in the Mediterranean.

The Yacht extends Four Seasons hospitality service to the ocean for the first time.

The vessel houses Residential-style suites with many featuring terraces and private plunge pools.

“Today’s luxury traveller values time, trust, and authenticity above all,” says Ben Trodd, CEO, Marc-Henry Cruise Holdings Ltd., Joint Owner/Operator of Four Seasons Yachts.

The first voyage coincided with the 65th anniversary of Four Seasons – the opening of the  first hotel in 1961.

Spanning 207 metres (679 feet), Four Seasons I features 95 suites all with indoor-outdoor living, and there are no interior cabins.

The flagship accommodation is the nearly 10,000-square-feet (929-square-metre) Funnel Suite.

Four Seasons I has 11 distinct restaurants and lounges – from Mediterranean seafood to an omakase experience.

Sedna will introduce the signature Chef-in-Residence series, which welcomes a rotating roster of talent from Michelin-starred Four Seasons restaurants, including Christian Le Squer of Le Cinq at Four Seasons Hotel George V, Paris; Luca Piscazzi of Pelagos in Athens; Guillaume Galliot of Caprice in Hong Kong; Yoric Tièche of Le Cap in Cap-Ferrat; and Paolo Lavezzini of Il Palagio in Florence.

The Four Seasons Yachts experience includes L’Oceana Spa, while there are sunrise yoga and meditation sessions on the Yacht’s deck, private breathwork sessions, personalised fitness training, and guided mindfulness practices.

The Yacht’s transverse marina – which opens across both sides of the vessel – transforms into a private retreat with direct sea access, water sports, and curated recreational programming.

During the inaugural season, Mediterranean itineraries aboard Four Seasons I explore iconic ports like Saint-Tropez and Bodrum, plus lesser-frequented harbours in Montenegro, the Greek Isles and Croatian coast.

In its debut year, the Yacht will introduce 32 voyages across 52 sailings, exploring 130 destinations in more than 30 countries.

The vessel will transition to the Caribbean and Bahamas in winter.
