Four Seasons set to expand luxury offering with new cruise division
Luxury hotel chain Four Seasons is launching a cruise division that it says will bring its “legendary service to the seas”. Four Seasons Yachts will be led by cruise industry veteran Larry Pimentel, former
chief of Azamara, Cunard, Seabourn and SeaDream Yacht Club. The first vessel is slated for 2025. The order, announced in July, includes the
option for two additional vessels and amounts to about £1 billion. Four Seasons claimed its yacht would be marked by “bespoke craftsmanship, personalised service and a dedication to excellence, appealing to discerning guests looking to reimagine their love of travel by experiencing the splendour of modern sea voyaging”. President Christian Clerc said: “Four Seasons Yachts represents the next chapter of our company’s long history of industry-leading innovation, and a milestone moment as we continue to capitalise on opportunities to extend the world of Four Seasons.” The first Four Seasons Yacht will have 14 decks and will boast 95 suites, each of
which will cost $4.2 million to build, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows, tall ceilings and large terrace decks. Four Seasons Yachts claimed its first ship will offer nearly 50% more living space per guest than currently available in the luxury cruise market”. The largest residence will be the Funnel Suite, which will be spread over four levels
and will feature a private wading pool and a dedicated private spa area. The first Four Seasons Yacht will also house a range of restaurants, lounges and bar concepts as well as a full-service spa, salon and wellness programming. A canoe-shaped aft will be home to an expansive pool deck, which will be able to transform into an outdoor movie theatre or private event space. There will also be a marina where guests can sunbathe, enter the water or make use of the yacht’s watersport toys and accessories.

Explora Journeys claims that its wellness offering will address sleep, nutrition, relaxation, mindfulness and energy and will be immunity- boosting. It said its Ocean Wellness programme would see guests feel “a deep sense of physical and spiritual renewal”. The spa will have 11 treatment rooms, including two Private Spa Suites with their own outdoor relaxation area; one double and seven single treatment rooms; and one dedicated to specialised Medi-Luxe Treatments by Dr Levy Switzerland. There will be a ‘sensorial therapeutic circuit’ featuring a hydrotherapy pool, a steam room, Finnish sauna, salt cave, ‘experience shower’ and heated marble loungers. The Beauty Studio will offer hair and barber treatments
as well as nail treatments.
