Four Seasons’ journey into the world of luxury yachting has just begun, but the group is already looking ahead to the next stage. Following the launch of Four Seasons I, the company’s first ship that debuted in the Mediterranean last March to mark the brand’s 65th anniversary, Four Seasons II, the second yacht destined to expand the brand’s presence on the world’s most exclusive seas, has been announced.
Four Seasons II represents the evolution of a project by which the hospitality giant aims to transfer its idea of luxury to the sea: few suites, plenty of space, and highly personalized service. The goal seems to be to get closer and closer to the experience of a private yacht. In fact, there will be only 79 accommodations on board, including 12 Yacht Residential Suites on the upper decks; some have large terraces, living areas designed as true seaside apartments and, in some cases, even private pools.
The itineraries also follow this philosophy. Forget the flash stops typical of traditional cruises-Four Seasons II focuses on longer stays and overnight stays in destinations, giving guests time to experience cities and coastal locations with greater freedom.
Great attention has also been paid to gastronomy, one of the elements that has always characterized the Four Seasons universe. The yacht will host eleven different restaurants, bars, and lounges, with offerings ranging from Mediterranean cuisine to omakase experiences, via champagne bars and menus dedicated to the great international classics.
There will, of course, be no shortage of wellness areas, with L’Oceana Spa and a fitness center overlooking the sea, as well as entertainment programs designed for adults, teens and families.
Fourteen new destinations in the Mediterranean and Adriatic will also arrive with Four Seasons II. These include Syros, Kalamata, Hvar, Ibiza and Antibes, destinations selected to be experienced unhurriedly thanks to an increasing number of evening stops and overnight stays in roadsteads. An approach that confirms the brand’s direction: making the journey as important as the destination.
