The Funnel Suite on Four Seasons' first yacht will have four levels and panoramic sea views

Four Seasons Yachts will launch its first vessel in 2026, having teamed up with Marc-Henry Cruise Holdings and Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri for the new venture.

Called Christina O, the 14-deck yacht has been partially modelled off Greek billionaire Aristotle Onassis’ yacht and is gearing up to deliver some of the most incredible amenities at sea.

All 95 suites will offer floor-to-ceiling windows with sea views, double vanity bathrooms and large private terraces, while the yacht’s premier signature suite, the Funnel Suite, will have four levels of living space and 280-degree panoramic views.

There will also be an option for guests to adjoin suites or to reserve one entire side of a deck, which is likely to be popular with families and groups. Square footage is a major point of pride on Four Seasons Yachts, with each suite offering 50% more living space per guest than currently available with any competitor at sea, according the the newcomer.

There will also be 11 dining options, spa and wellness offerings, a transverse marina for swimming and watersports, and a stern pool, which, at nearly 19 metres long and 5 metres wide, will be one of the largest in the sector. Meanwhile, a hydraulic lift design allows the pool deck to level out to create extra floor space for special events such as weddings and birthday parties.

The vessel will also have a 1:1 guest-to-staff ratio, as part of the company’s mission to deliver world-class customer service reflective of its hotels.

Some Four Seasons Yachts’ routes have been released, revealing that its maiden voyage will sail the Caribbean in January 2026.

The first itineraries will feature seven night sailings through iconic yachting hotspots such as Saint Barthelemy (St Barths), Nevis, the Grenadines, St Lucia, Barbados, Martinique, Guadeloupe, Curacao and Aruba.

The ship will then move to the Mediterranean, with its first voyage taking place in March 2026, with sailings planned around Croatia, Gibraltar, Montenegro, Italy, Portugal, Spain and Turkey.

A total of 10 unique voyages have already been planned, taking guests to more than 130 destinations across more than 30 countries and territories.

“We’re incredibly proud to announce the first itineraries aboard Four Seasons Yachts, and know that these experiences will exceed our guest expectations when we set sail in 2026,” said Alejandro Reynal, Four Seasons president and CEO.

“At Four Seasons, guest-centricity has always been the foundation of our luxury service offering and our exceptional yacht will extend this approach to the seas. Our teams are dedicated to innovating and delivering genuine service, ensuring each journey is defined by comfort, elegance, and personalisation, setting a new standard for luxury hospitality experiences at sea.”
