When Luxury Hotels Set Sail

Luxury hotel groups are no longer content with building grand hotels on land, they are taking to the sea. Following in the footsteps of Ritz-Carlton and Orient Express, Four Seasons has entered the world of cruising with Four Seasons I, a 207-metre yacht launched in March that sails between the Mediterranean, the Caribbean and the Bahamas. Aman is set to follow in 2027, confirming the rise of a new form of floating luxury hospitality.
