revealing fascinating details about the 207-meter Four Seasons “Yacht Liner” designed by Swedish firm Tillberg Design

Tillberg Design, a Swedish yacht design firm belonging to The Viken Group, has released additional information about the interior concept for a 207-meter Four Seasons Yacht presently under construction at Fincantieri. The 14-deck, custom-designed vessel will have 95 cabins and offer passengers a “yacht experience” when it launches in 2025.

The Swedish design studio is in charge of the exterior and suites, while the London-based Martin Brudnizki Design Studio is responsible for the guest facilities. Prosper Assouline will also provide creative direction for the Four Seasons Yacht.

Fredrik Johansson, executive director of Sweden’s Tillberg Design, stated that the new Four Seasons yacht confirmed a growing trend for “luxury yacht liners”. The hybrid cruise-superyacht vessels seek to “combine the scale of small, intimate cruise ships with the amenities, splendour, and sophistication of superyachts.”

Johansson continued, “Our new project began with a very distinct and distinct vision from our client.” Imagine Christina O, the legendary yacht built for Aristotle Onassis, encountering James Bond. You may believe that it would be difficult to make a mistake in that situation, but it is also an enormous challenge. You must avoid making mistakes; failure is not an option. Every component and detail of the yacht must be flawless.”

Fincantieri in Trieste is in the final phases of designing the vessel. “This project is in a class of its own, combining the best of passenger ship construction and yacht design to create a new benchmark for ultra-luxury vessels,” said Luigi Matarazzo, general manager of Fincantieri’s merchant ships division.

The Four Seasons Yacht will consist solely of suites and will cost $4.2 million per cabin to construct. Each suite will incorporate indoor and outdoor living space and feature floor-to-ceiling windows and ceiling heights greater than 2.4 metres. The penthouse will be known as the “Funnel Suite” and will span four floors, providing over 892 square feet of living space, a private pool, and a spa.

The Four Seasons Yacht will also feature hotel-style amenities, such as a full-service spa and eleven restaurants. The canoe-shaped stern of the ship will house a pool deck that can be converted into an outdoor theatre at night. Additionally, four Riva tenders will be available to transport visitors to shore.

Larry Pimentel, the chief executive officer of Marc-Henry Cruise Holdings, will oversee the project. “In partnership with Four Seasons, we are creating a new category of luxury lifestyle travel that appeals to discerning guests,” he said. “Through world-class design, curated experiences, and truly exceptional service, we are bringing together the best of multiple industries to create the apex of yachting.”

The inaugural voyage of the Four Seasons Yacht is scheduled for late 2025, and the vessel will be the first in a fleet of “yachts” for the brand. The order, which was finalised in July of last year, totals €1.2 billion and includes an option for two more vessels.
