Limo Tenders? A Floating Deck? This New Luxury Line Just Reimagined Cruising

Just when you think cruising can’t get any more luxurious, Four Seasons enters the chat. Their first-ever yacht, launching in early 2026, is bringing private yacht vibes to the high seas – and yes, it includes a floating deck, a seawater pool, and limo-style tenders.

If you’ve ever wanted to step off the ship and into the water in serious style, this might just be your dream cruise.

Say Hello to the Floating Playground: The Marina Deck

Forget everything you know about cruise ship decks – this one literally floats on the sea. Measuring a spacious 3,778 square feet, the yacht’s extendable marina deck is a sun-soaked haven where you can lounge with a cocktail, dip into a protected sea pool, or watch the waves lap beneath your feet.

It’s more than just a sunbathing spot – it’s a full-on aquatic playground. Think loungers, a stylish bar, and direct access to the open water – all while feeling like you’re on your own private island.

What Exactly Are “Marina Days”?

Marina Days are when the ship isn’t sailing – and trust us, you’ll be glad. That’s when the floating marina comes to life, turning the sea into your personal playground.

Guests can glide across the water on electric hydrofoils, pedal leisurely on water bikes, or take it slow with a traditional kayak or paddleboard. Whether you’re up for adventure or just want to drift and soak in the views, these days are all about enjoying the ocean your way.

Forget Tender Boats – These Are Floating Limousines

Getting to shore has never looked so sleek. Instead of cramming into a standard tender, guests on this Four Seasons yacht will glide to land aboard custom 10-metre Limo Tenders – complete with a private captain, personalised service, and serious James Bond energy.

Whether you’re heading to a beach club or exploring a tucked-away bay, these luxurious mini-yachts are built for comfort and style. It’s the kind of tender ride where you’ll wish the journey lasted longer than the destination.

Meet the Beachlander: High-Speed Access to Paradise

For guests craving a bit more adventure, the yacht’s Beachlander takes things up a notch. This 10-metre Ribeye vessel is built for speed and designed to whisk you away to secluded coves, untouched beaches, and vibrant snorkelling spots.

It’s the perfect blend of thrill and indulgence – think high-speed cruising with soft landings in paradise. Whether you’re exploring coral reefs or toasting the sunset in a hidden bay, the Beachlander makes it all feel effortless.

The Big Picture: Why This Ship Changes the Game

This isn’t just another luxury cruise – it’s a floating boutique hotel with superyacht flair. Four Seasons is bringing its signature style to the sea, and with features like a floating marina, seawater pool, and limo tenders, it’s clear they’re rewriting the cruising rulebook.

Everything about this ship is designed to blur the line between exclusive retreat and epic adventure. As Tim Littley, Vice President of Itinerary and Planning, puts it: “Guests will explore remarkable destinations… while enjoying adventures on kayaks, paddleboards, and superyacht water toys.” Translation? This is cruising – reimagined.

Four Seasons isn’t just bringing luxury to the ocean – they’re bringing famous Michelin-starred chefs. Through their Chef-in-Residence Program, top chefs from around the world take turns living on the ship and creating their own special menus. Think of it as having a celebrity chef cook just for you – the kind you’d normally need to book months in advance. These visiting chefs work with Executive Chef Armando Ferman Toledo to run 11 different restaurants and bars, making sure every meal feels like fine dining.

All 95 suites have 50% more space than any other luxury ship, huge windows, and private decks. But if you want the ultimate experience, there’s the Funnel Suite: a 9,975 square foot penthouse built right into the ship’s glass tower. It spreads across four decks with incredible 280-degree ocean views, three bedrooms, a wading pool, an outdoor gym, and the biggest piece of glass at sea. Translation: it’s a luxury apartment with an ocean view so amazing you’ll never want to close the curtains.

Here’s what makes this ship really special: Four Seasons has one staff member for every single guest. One-to-one. That means no waiting, no rushing, and total attention to what you need. This isn’t a huge cruise ship with thousands of people – it’s an exclusive floating hotel where amazing personal service is just how it works

How Much Does This Floating Paradise Actually Cost?

Four Seasons Yachts doesn’t work like your typical cruise line. Instead of charging per person, they charge per suite – and the price ranges wildly depending on which suite you book and where you’re sailing.

The smallest suites start around $3,000 per night. And if you want the ultimate experience in the jaw-dropping Funnel Suite? Get ready to drop approximately $45,000 per night (or $320,000–$350,000 per week). Yeah, you read that right.

Most cruise lines charge per person. Four Seasons charges per suite, period. So if you bring your whole family or a group of friends into one suite, you’re splitting that cost among everyone – which can actually make it more affordable per person than you’d think.

Also, unlike traditional all-inclusive cruises, Four Seasons includes breakfast, beverages (non-alcoholic), gratuities, WiFi, and water sports, but you’ll pay extra for lunch, dinner at specialty restaurants, and alcohol. Keep this in mind when budgeting your trip.

When Can You Book – and Would You Splash Out?

Booking is now open and there are still some suites available this year. Four Seasons’ first yacht is set to make waves on March 20, 2026 in the Mediterranean before shifting gears to the Caribbean in November 2026. It’s also been confirmed that there will be a second yacht in the fleet, Four Seasons II, arriving in 2028 and rumors of a potential Four Seasons III a couple years later.

If you’re tempted to swap mega-ships for something a little more exclusive, this could be your perfect match. It’s expected to sail scenic coastlines and tucked-away destinations that pair beautifully with its luxurious, low-key vibe.

Would you trade your usual cruise for a floating marina, private tenders, and a seawater pool on the edge of the world?
