An iconic luxury hotel brand has launched its first superyacht, bringing its renowned five-star service to the sea.
Expanding beyond its 135 hotels and resorts, Four Seasons has established Four Seasons I, a luxurious vessel featuring 95 suites, 11 restaurants and an onboard spa.
The ship embarked on its maiden voyage in the Mediterranean on 20 March, which coincided with the brand’s 65th anniversary and the opening of its first hotel on the first day of spring in 1961.
Onboard, guests can expect plush residential-style suites and high-end amenities.
Each custom-designed suite – all of which cost around £4 million to build – offers ‘ultimate privacy, flexibility and spaciousness,’ featuring floor-to-ceiling windows and ample space starting at 581 square feet.
For the ultimate luxury experience, a four-level suite named ‘Funnel’, provides more than 9,601 square feet of space, a private wading pool and personal spa area.
With 11 distinct dining venues, from sashimi at Miuna to crisp salads and grilled meats at the Mediterranean-inspired Terrasse, guests can enjoy an unparalleled culinary experience on board.
As for bars and lounges, guests can discover a vast offering of cigars and aged spirits at the Cigar Lounge, sip classic cocktails at Bar O, or pair sparkling wines with a global selection of caviar at Champagne & Caviar.

Adventurists can also get stuck into watersports with access to jet skis, water slides, windsurfing equipment and snorkelling gear.
