Four Seasons and Ritz-Carlton are bringing their renowned hospitality to the seas with ultra-luxury yachts that feel more like private sanctuaries than traditional cruises. Four Seasons Yachts
launches in March 2026 with Four Seasons I—emphasizing innovation, extreme privacy, and massive space per guest. The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection has been sailing since 2021 (Evrima), with expansions via Ilma (2024) and Luminara (2025)—delivering proven, all-inclusive elegance in a refined, social-yet-intimate setting.
Both redefine ocean travel for discerning travelers.
As a select agency with both Four Seasons Preferred Partner and Ritz-Carlton STARS status, Suite Sojourn unlocks exclusive perks (credits, upgrades, priority access) at no extra cost—ensuring the best value.
If you’re not a typical cruiser but appreciate the sophistication of a Four Seasons or Ritz-Carlton stay, these yachts transform ocean travel into a floating extension of their iconic hotels. Let’s dive into the details.
