Four Seasons’ Yacht Spotted in Istanbul
The iconic silhouette of Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts’ yacht Four Seasons I has appeared on the Bosphorus, catching attention across Istanbul’s skyline. It’s a clear sign that ultra-luxury hospitality is moving beyond land and onto the sea.
A Hotel That Moves
Launched on March 20, 2026, for the brand’s 65th anniversary, Four Seasons I is a 207-metre yacht built by Fincantieri.
The yacht is designed for space and comfort:
Only 95 suites on board
Nearly one staff member per guest
Large private terraces and floor-to-ceiling windows in every suite
There are also 11 restaurants and lounges, offering high-end dining similar to top Michelin-level venues.
Hotels Are Moving to the Sea
Luxury hotel brands are increasingly entering the yacht world. The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company launched its first yacht in 2022, and Aman Resorts plans to follow in 2027. For these brands, yachts are a natural extension of their service and identity.
