The easiest great cruise there is: short flights, famous ports, and a ship for every kind of family.

Cruise line
The newest entrant at the very top of the market: hotel-brand luxury on a yacht of around 200 guests.
The proposition is space and service: a small number of very large suites, a crew ratio that rivals the best hotels, and the Four Seasons habit of remembering everything. The yacht is new, which means we are watching early sailings closely before making firm recommendations.
For couples and small family groups who already choose Four Seasons on land, this is the obvious step to sea. For those who want a track record, we would currently steer towards lines with more sailings behind them and revisit as the programme matures.

Where they sail

The easiest great cruise there is: short flights, famous ports, and a ship for every kind of family.

Small ships, island overnights, and a late season that runs into October.

Venice, Dubrovnik and Kotor in a week, on ships small enough for the old harbours.

Winter sun for the whole family, on ships that make Christmas and half-term easy.
Good to know
With care. We tell clients plainly when a product is new and what that means, and we often suggest a proven alternative for a once-in-a-lifetime family trip. For couples who want to be among the first, we are happy to plan it.

Why a ship is one of the easiest places to gather a family for an occasion, what we can arrange on board, and the ships that do celebrations with grace rather than a cake and a song.
