Four Seasons Yachts has unveiled plans for its second vessel, Four Seasons II, scheduled to debut in 2028. The ship will carry just 79 suites, positioning it as a smaller, more intimate ultra-luxury yacht with a strong residential focus. The centerpiece of the announcement is the introduction of Yacht Residential Suites, multi-bedroom accommodations designed for extended stays and group travel.

Building on the launch of Four Seasons I in March 2026, the new vessel deepens the brand's commitment to highly personalized, destination-rich cruising. The Yacht Residential Suites range from two to four bedrooms and are located across the upper decks. Features include open-concept living spaces, private terraces, integrated lifestyle kitchens, formal dining areas, and dedicated entertainment zones. Select suites also offer private splash pools, outdoor showers, and wellness-focused amenities. Each suite comes with a dedicated concierge to arrange dining, Shore and Sea Experiences, and other details.

Intimate Scale and Service

Four Seasons II will operate with a one-to-one guest-to-staff ratio, ensuring each guest has a dedicated staff member. The yacht's small size—just 79 suites—is intentional, designed for quiet, intimate cruising rather than large-scale operations. The focus is on curated itineraries, world-class culinary concepts, and immersive wellness offerings, all delivered in a private, residential atmosphere.

This approach aligns with trends seen elsewhere in the ultra-luxury segment. For example, SeaDream Yacht Club has similarly emphasized intimate voyages with its recent Caribbean itineraries. The residential suites on Four Seasons II aim to bridge the gap between a yacht and a private home, appealing to families, groups, and travelers planning longer journeys.

Voyages for the inaugural season are now open for booking, giving early guests a chance to experience this new expression of Four Seasons hospitality. The announcement underscores a broader shift in the ultra-luxury yachting market toward more spacious, home-like accommodations at sea.
