Four Seasons Yachts has announced its second
Mediterranean season, set for 2027, revealing a significantly expanded
portfolio of 33 new voyages and more than 40 new ports of call. Designed to
guide guests to both iconic coastlines and lesser-known enclaves, the new
collection also marks the debut of Egypt as a featured destination. Each
itinerary has been crafted to offer a high-touch journey that deepens
travellers’ connection to the timeless landscapes and cultures of the
Mediterranean.
Bespoke access and evolving exploration
“Our 2027 Mediterranean collection reflects our belief
that, today, exceptional travel is rooted in bespoke access,” says Ben Trodd,
CEO of Four Seasons Yachts. “Working with our expert team, we’ve curated
itineraries that feature everything from iconic landmarks to quieter
coastlines, offering journeys for every preference. The introduction of more
than 40 new destinations for our second season underscores our commitment to
shaping exploration in a way only Four Seasons can.”
Running from March to November 2027, the season offers
an extended window for guests to experience the Mediterranean at the height of
the sailing year and beyond. Unlike the inaugural season, none of the
itineraries will be repeated, marking a step forward in the brand’s evolving
approach to curated luxury travel by sea.
Among the more than 40 new ports are Lisbon, Rimini, Zakynthos,
and Santa Cruz de Tenerife, alongside returning favourites such as the Greek
Islands and Athens, a signature destination from the 2026 season.
Introducing Egypt as a marquee destination
Three new itineraries will spotlight Egypt, providing
rare access to its most storied sites. Guests can choose between two distinct seven-night
Eastern Mediterranean voyages, or a 14-night Grand Mediterranean journey that
combines both. Strategic overnights allow for in-depth exploration, including
visits to:
·
the Valley of the Kings
·
the Pyramids of Giza
·
Egypt’s most historic coastal regions
Travellers may also pair select sailings with land
stays at Four Seasons Hotel Alexandria at San Stefano or Four Seasons Astir
Palace Hotel Athens, creating seamless land-and-sea journeys enriched by Four
Seasons’ signature hospitality.
Shorter voyages for deeper immersion
The 2027 programme expands the collection of five-night
voyages, offering flexible options that balance marina days in sheltered
anchorages with access to intimate harbours reachable only by yachts of this
scale. Sample highlights include:
·
Greek Isles featuring Santorini and Hydra
·
Adriatic routes featuring Croatia
·
Riviera itineraries featuring Sardinia and Monte Carlo
·
The Rivieras featuring Saint-Tropez and Portofino
·
Greek Isles featuring Antiparos and Mykonos
Each sailing showcases a different facet of the
Mediterranean’s diverse coastal landscapes.
More overnights and exclusive yacht harbours
Across the 2027 collection, 27 ports will include
overnight stays, allowing guests to experience destinations after dark, when
coastal towns take on a distinctly local rhythm. New overnight ports include
locations in Egypt, as well as Casablanca (Morocco), Cadiz (Spain), Bodrum and Marmaris
(Turkey), and Porto Cervo (Sardinia).
Four Seasons Yachts will begin 2027 in the Caribbean,
with additional year-end voyages to be announced.
Four Seasons I, the brand’s inaugural yacht, will
begin sailing in 2026, marking the start of a new era in ultra-luxury yachting.
