Who this is for

This is a luxury yacht product, not a mainstream cruise. It suits couples, families who want a connected-suite layout, and groups who would otherwise rent a villa. It does not suit anyone shopping on price, anyone who wants a casino-and-waterslide ship, or anyone who needs a published fare chart to plan against. If you are a points-and-miles traveller, the practical play is paying less for everything around the voyage: flights to the port, hotel nights either side, and a card with a strong travel-purchase category.

How to read this line before you spend

Start with what is confirmed. The yacht is 679 ft and 34,000 gross tons with 95 suites . Suites range from one-bedroom rooms of 473 to 818 sq ft up to residence-scale suites with up to four bedrooms . That is the whole public picture of the product today: a small count of large suites, a high staffing ratio, and a Riviera-led first season.

Then list what is missing: day-by-day schedules, fare inclusions, gratuity policy, deposit and cancellation dates, children's age rules, and dining venue names. Each of those is a question for your consultant, and the answers belong in writing before any deposit. A new line is also still learning its own operation, so build slack into your plan: a flight home that leaves the afternoon after disembarkation, hotel nights with free cancellation, and a copy of every message.

A last point for this audience: the cash price of a yacht voyage is the number you will not shrink with points. What you can shrink is everything around it. Be honest about which part of the trip is the splurge and which parts are the savings, and put the savings first in your planning.

Rough cost, three ways

We do not publish suite prices because sailing fares move daily. Fill these in from your consultant's quote.

Line Budget pass Middle Splurge
Voyage fare per suite ________ ________ ________
Flights to the port ________ ________ ________
Hotel nights before/after ________ ________ ________
Gratuities Not confirmed on https://www.fourseasonsyachts.com/faq ________ ________
Excursions and extras ________ ________ ________

The FAQ page lists the questions "What is included in the voyage fare?" and "What is not included in the voyage fare?" but the line does not publish the answers online . Get both answers in writing.

Who should skip it

If your budget is set by a fare chart, if you want to compare three lines side by side on a website, or if you need to know the full list of what is included before you decide, this line is not ready for you yet. As of 2026-10-16 the line does not publish dated sailings or a full inclusions list online . Revisit in a few months, or call and ask for the sailing list.

Three free things (Riviera week)

  1. Walk Monte Carlo's harbor and Casino Square. Both are public spaces, typically free to walk; Not confirmed on https://www.fourseasonsyachts.com/voyages. Photo: Port Hercule, Monaco
  2. Wander Portoferraio's old town. A port call on the featured voyage; the streets climb above the harbor. Photo: Portoferraio harbor, Elba
  3. Stroll Saint-Tropez's quay. The voyage's end point; the waterfront is a public promenade. Photo: Saint-Tropez harbor

Opening hours and access for any site change; check locally on the day.

<!– Check this on the official page before you book. Wear shoes with grip: harbor stones and old-town steps can be uneven, and port days involve a lot of walking.

A quick test before you call

Write down three numbers: the most you would pay for the voyage per suite, the most you would pay for flights, and the number of nights you can spare either side. If the consultant's quote lands over the first number, ask for a different sailing date or a different suite category before you drop the idea. If it lands under, ask what is not in it. Either way, you will have a stated limit rather than a feeling, and the limit is what keeps a luxury quote from becoming an impulse.

How to pay with points

Four Seasons Yachts is not a program we can confirm sells through card travel portals. Not confirmed on https://www.fourseasonsyachts.com/. The reliable points plays are indirect: Chase, Amex, Capital One, Citi and Bilt points can move to airlines for the flight to Nice or Genoa, and to hotel programs for the nights either side. Check the partner's own award chart and the program's transfer page before moving any points. Use a card that earns well on travel purchases for the deposit, and ask whether the consultant can charge it without a surcharge.

This is the free lite guide. The full day-by-day guide, with maps, photo stops, rain plans and the points playbook, is part of PerkJolt All-Access.

Good to know before you go

Four Seasons Yachts is a brand-new line, and its public pages are still filling in. Itineraries, ports, fares and policies below are as of 2026-10-16; confirm on https://www.fourseasonsyachts.com/ or with a Personal Yacht Consultant before you commit money.
