The Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri has signed a contract with Marc-Henry Cruise Holdings LTD, joint owner/operator of Four Seasons Yachts, for the construction of a third ultra-luxury hospitality vessel.
Fincantieri said the agreement, subject to financing and other typical terms and conditions, is valued between euro 500 million and euro 1 billion.
Scheduled for delivery in 2031, the new vessel will be the third unit in a new class of ultra-luxury hospitality vessels designed and built by Fincantieri at its Ancona shipyard.
Building on the successful delivery earlier this year of Four Seasons I, the inaugural vessel conceived under Fincantieri’s Navis Sapiens vision, and the construction of a second ship scheduled to enter into service at the beginning of 2028, the new order reflects a growing demand for a new category of bespoke luxury travel experiences.
According to Fincantieri, the new vessel will feature the same all-suite, residential-style concept that has defined the first-in class.
At 207 meters in length and approximately 34,000 gross tons, it will accommodate suites designed to maximize the connection between guests and the ocean through expansive terraces and open-air living spaces.
“This new order marks another significant step in the development of the partnership with Marc-Henry Cruise Holdings LTD that has become a benchmark for innovation in luxury hospitality at sea. The decision to expand the fleet with a third vessel reflects the strength of a long-term industrial vision and confirms the market’s appreciation for a concept that has successfully created a new segment at the intersection of luxury hospitality and advanced shipbuilding,” said Pierroberto Folgiero, chief executive and managing director of Fincantieri.
