The first Four Seasons vessel is anticipated to set sail in 2025

Fincantieri has signed a contract with Marc-Henry Cruise Holdings, joint owner/operator of Four Seasons Yachts, for the construction of a second ultra-luxury Four Seasons vessel.

Larry Pimentel, president and CEO of Marc-Henry Cruise Holdings, says: “The signing of our second vessel contract with Fincantieri is another milestone in the development of Four Seasons Yachts. Our partnership with Fincantieri and Four Seasons creates a powerful triumvirate of expertise that is committed to delivering a ‘category of one’ luxury lifestyle yacht experience. I am proud of the talented team and collaboration behind this stunning enterprise project.”

Pierroberto Folgiero, CEO of Fincantieri, adds: “The confirmation of trust from a prestigious brand like Marc-Henry Cruise Holdings who are responsible for marine and technical, and sales and marketing of Four Seasons Yachts, is a great satisfaction for us and a further proof of the validity of a unique entrepreneurial project destined to change the world of cruises in terms of design, technology and sustainability.

“It also bears witness to the start of the orders recovery for the sector, at the same time reinforcing Fincantieri’s leadership in the new extra-luxury segment based on haute hôtellerie.”
