Four Seasons is launching its first yacht with nine new voyages across the Bahamas and Caribbean for the 2026-2027 festive season, completing its inaugural year's portfolio of 32 sailings.

The itineraries include a ten-night Thanksgiving voyage through the Lesser Antilles, and seven-night Christmas and New Year sailings from Miami, which can be combined into a 14-night extended holiday trip. Christmas Day will be spent in the exclusive Palmetto Point, Barbuda – a destination typically inaccessible to larger vessels.

Alejandro Reynal, president and CEO of Four Seasons, says: "The festive season is an important and special time for leisure travellers and our loyal guests, and we look forward to introducing a new luxury experience to explore the best of the Caribbean and Bahamas while spending the holidays with Four Seasons." The programme includes 17 new destinations across the region, with several five-night Bahamas round-trips from Miami planned for December 2026 and January 2027. Many ports of call have been specifically chosen for their exclusivity, with Four Seasons I often being the only vessel in harbour.

Tim Littley, vice-president of itinerary planning at Marc-Henry Cruise Holdings LTD, joint owner/operator of Four Seasons Yachts, says: "All of these carefully crafted voyages combine yacht-only harbours and off-the-radar treasures with exclusive access to authentic local experiences.

"Whether enjoying festive season voyages amidst idyllic island backdrops or starting the new year in grand style travelling through stunning tropical landscapes beloved by the yachting set, our personalised journeys provide unique perspectives on the world."Four Seasons I will feature modular walls that allow up to five suites to be connected – accommodating groups of up to 16 travellers together on one deck. The yacht's premier Funnel Suite can host parties of up to 36 guests, while 12 suites feature separate studio spaces with private entrances, designed to accommodate staff, children, or serve as offices. Guests can extend their voyage with pre- or post-cruise stays at the Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club in Surfside, Florida. The New Year's sailing will ring in 2027 at sea, followed by a beach day in the Exuma Sound – an area known locally for having one cay for each day of the year.
