Fraser Olender has had a glorious rise to stardom since he started as a second stew on Below Deck during Season 9. After being promoted to Chief Stew for Season 10, making him the first male Chief Stew in the franchise’s history, he had a rocky go when Captain Sandy Yawn temporarily stepped in. That didn’t matter as he officially became the face of the franchise for Season 11 when he returned again, this time under the leadership of Captain Kerry Titheradge . So what's the fan-favorite Below Deck star up to now? Is Season 12 in the cards for Fraser Olender?

Below Deck is Bravo's high-seas reality series that captures the highs and lows of working on a luxury yacht . Since 2013, the flagship series has had 11 triumphant seasons and spun off four separate series. Historically, very few crew members remain on the program beyond a season or two. Unless you're something special. Fraser Olender is indeed something special.

Fraser Oldender Had a Strong 'Below Deck' Season 11

Below Deck Season 11 marked the third season for Fraser Olender. The openly gay stew made his debut during Season 9 , where he served as a 2nd Stew under Heather Chase . He made his mark by being proficient at his job while also serving as the resident sass-master. Between his witty quips and big reactions, Fraser Olender quickly became a natural in front of the camera. Following Heather Chase's departure, it was logical for Fraser to step up to the plate and take over the interior. During Season 10, he faced quite the dramatics with an interior team that didn't respect one another, causing him to make some difficult decisions as to who was going to be fired. He settled on letting Camille Lamb go, but Alissa Humber also got the axe from the Captain soon after. When he finally found his footing and established a strong bond with Captain Lee Rosbach , Captain Lee's health caused him to temporarily depart. With Captain Sandy Yawn at the helm, it was her way or the highway, and she didn't necessarily gel with Fraser. She didn't break his spirits to deter him from returning for Season 11, though!

Season 11 was an interesting season for Olender as he proved his worth as a Chief Stew , despite some difficult stews working under him. With a supersized team of three stews working under him, he had to balance three drastically different personalities. And he managed to do so even if they drove him up a wall. Xandi Olivier became his trusted number 2. Cat Baugh needed constant reaffirming, which didn't sit well with Barbie Pascual . Barbie had ideals that didn't mesh with Fraser, causing the two to be at odds. And then, when Cat decided to bough out, her replacement, Paris Field , fit right in, continuing to knock Barbie to the background. Even though Captain Kerry was forced to talk to Fraser regarding his handling of the personalities , he kept things professional on board and proved that not only was he excellent at his job, but his presence on Below Deck was necessary.

This ship was bananas!

Where in the World Is Fraser Olender Now?

If you follow along on his social media , you will certainly know that when Fraser Olender is not working his butt off on a super yacht, he's jetsetting around the world. Well, following along Fraser’s social media, he is living his best life traveling the world. His Instagram has been filled with photos from adventures ranging from Aspen, Colorado to Mykonos and Cyprus. When he's not taking in the stunning views and drinking delicious cocktails, he's been working out. His social media stories have showcased what life for a celebrity yachtie might look like! This fall, he'll be joining fellow Bravolebrity Daisy Kelliher , Chief Stew from Below Deck Sailing Yacht , at the Sausalito Boat Show .

Since Season 11 ended, there was great speculation about whether Fraser would become the second-longest tenured Chief Stew on the flagship series by returning for Season 12. While there has been no official announcement regarding when Season 12 might air , it appears that Season 12 has been filmed. Back at the end of April, according to eagle-eyed fans who took to YouTube , the Chief Stew is back! As is Captain Kerry Titheredge. Spotted filming on motoryacht St. David, Fraser will be returning for another season, alongside some of the crew of Season 11. When a videographer was filming their video , they called out to both the Captain and Chief Stew, waving in acknowledgment. Additionally, Fraser posted a potentially cryptic TikTok lipsync to a monologue from The Devil Wears Prada . The monologue alludes to another divorce. The mystery of the post included his use of the Below Deck hashtag and the tag to Bravo . While his season had already ended when the post was shared, it could mean some drama aboard St. David!

No matter Fraser Olender's official fate, he has secured himself as a legend of Below Deck . Season 11 was a retooling of the flagship program following the departure of Captain Lee Rosbach. With Fraser remaining on board, it's proof that the show trusts him in his leadership role. As many yachties discuss on the show, life onboard may not be their forever career. That could be Fraser's fate as well. For now, fans are thrilled he will likely be back for another season of drama. Let's just hope Jill Zarin doesn't ever come back !

All episodes of Below Deck are available to stream on Peacock in the U.S.

Los Angeles Clippers bold predictions after 2024-25 season schedule release

The Clippers are going to look very different from the past couple of seasons.

David Yapkowitz

With the departure of Paul George in NBA free agency , a lot of eyes are going to be on the Los Angeles Clippers this season. Following the release last month of the 2024-25 NBA season schedule, we’ll be making our Clippers bold predictions.

The Clippers are going to look very different this upcoming season. In addition to the loss of George, the Clippers also moved on from hometown hero Russell Westbrook. Westbrook provided the team with tons of energy and aggression off the bench, but was relatively ineffective during the team’s first round playoff loss to the Dallas Mavericks.

The Clippers offseason saw them re-sign James Harden, and a full training camp and start of the season with the team should help. The team also made a flurry of free agent signings that actually have the potential to pay off in a big way this upcoming season.

Expectations for the Clippers are probably low this season even amid the excitement over the opening of their new arena , the Intuit Dome. Nevertheless, let’s move on to our 2024-25 LA Clippers bold predictions.

Kawhi Leonard will play in 70+ games for the Clippers

Now this is one bold prediction that might draw tons of skepticism from the NBA world. The last time Kawhi Leonard played in 70 or more games in a single year was back during the 2016-17 season when he was an All-Star.

And given his recent knee issue that kept him out of the majority of the Clippers first round series as well as his withdrawal from Team USA for the Olympics, this prediction is sure to draw quite a few side-eyes.

But it’s not too much of a stretch to envision Leonard playing more this season even as he continues to get older. In fact, there was a precedent set just last season when Leonard appeared in 68 games, the most he’s ever played in as a Clipper during the regular season. He was on track to surpass the 70 game mark if not for that late season knee swelling.

With George gone, the Clippers are going to lean on Leonard a little more than usual when it comes to offensive production. And he is still producing at an All-NBA level. This past season he averaged 23.7 points, 6.1 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.6 steals with splits of 52.5 percent shooting from the field, 41.7 percent shooting from the three-point line and 88.5 percent shooting from the free-throw line.

This is definitely going to be a wait and see type prediction for Leonard, but he knows what’s at stake this season and the role he’s going to have to play. It wouldn’t be surprising to see him set a Clippers career-high in games played.

Kawhi Leonard and James Harden will be top duo this season

The first Clippers bold prediction leads in to this next one. Provided that Leonard plays the majority of the season, he and James Harden are going to form one of the NBA’s top duos this upcoming year.

There was a little bit of skepticism amongst Clippers fans when the team acquired Harden in a trade last season, even more so considering they gave up their forward depth in the deal. But Harden actually turned out to be one of the team’s most consistent and productive players.

And throughout the season, Harden developed solid chemistry with Leonard on the court. Harden remains one of the best playmaking guards in the league. And like Leonard, with George’s departure he’s going to also inherit a bigger offensive role.

Out of the Clippers top players last season, Leonard and Harden were the most consistent. It’s not a stretch to think that with increased touches and bigger roles, these two could thrive on the court as a duo playing off each other. Harden is coming off a season during which he averaged 16.6 points, 5.1 rebounds, 8.5 assists and 1.1 steals with splits of 42.8 percent shooting from the field, 38.1 percent shooting from the three-point line and 87.8 percent shooting from the free-throw line.

Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue has always been able to get the most out of his rosters and he’ll find ways to maximize Leonard and Harden’s time on the court together.

Clippers will be a top four seed in the West this season

And the first two Clippers bold predictions brings us to the third and final one; the Clippers will finish with a top-four seed in the Western Conference. What’s the point of Leonard and Harden having big years if it’s only going to lead to a bottom half finish?

Earlier this week, Tyronn Lue remarked how he is motivated to prove wrong everyone who is counting the Clippers out this season. Back during the 2021-22 season, the Clippers were without Leonard and George for most of the year due to injury. That was one of Lue’s finest coaching performances when he guided the Clippers to a winning record with Reggie Jackson and Marcus Morris as the primary offensive options.

Expect something similar this year. Only that the Clippers have more of a balanced roster and two healthy stars in Leonard and Harden. The Clippers free agent signings all followed a pattern in that the team is expecting to play hard and play defense.

Derrick Jones Jr. was highly credited with making things difficult for George during the first round. Kris Dunn and Nicolas Batum have always been tough defensive minded players. Mo Bamba averaged 1.1 blocked shots last season.

And with the anticipation of the Intuit Dome NBA season debut, this is going to be a motivated team looking to make some noise and bring excitement to their new arena.

Once human: how to prepare for the season reset.

How To Get Specialization Memory Fragments In Once Human

Stardew valley player accidentally learns a fun new use for torches, baldur's gate 3 patches in new dialogue for a highly-desired companion after players discover workaround.

Survival horror game Once Human has a unique season structure, where the end of each season involves a complete wipe of the servers. Player characters automatically carry over certain items and currencies such as Starchrom, blueprints, and mods, but other items are taken to Eternaland , a permanent bubble world that players can return to between seasons. These materials, like resources, weapons, and ammunition, can be brought into the player's next season by "purchasing" them from Eternaland.

Once a season enters Phase Six, it is important for players to finish any outstanding goals they have and prepare for the season reset. This can include finishing up questlines, farming for Deviations , and stockpiling currency. Here is what to keep in mind for the season reset so you can prepare.

Specialization Memory Fragments allow for more flexibility in Once Human. You can slot in these rare Fragments to change portions of your build.

Preparation For Your Base

What to do to prepare your base.

At the end of the season, player bases will be disassembled , and related materials will be sent to Eternaland. Now is a good time to save your base blueprint in the build menu so you can use it again next season. You'll also want to be sure to disassemble anything that isn't needed , as you cannot do so after the reset without paying a hefty fee to transport over the gear you want to break down.

If you forget to save your base as a blueprint, the blueprint will automatically save at the end of the season . However, it is unknown if this will carry over for more than one season, so remember to save it separately to ensure you don't lose it.

Shops And Currencies

What to spend and what to save.

Most currencies will hold over between seasons . However, currencies such as Energy Links will be automatically converted to Astral Sand (Eternaland Currency) at the end of the season. Here's how to make the most of your currencies before the reset.

Exploration And Quests

What to unlock, find, and finish.

Progress for quests is carried over to future seasons, as well as the ability to do a "quick" option of the quests in the future. It's best to complete as many quests as possible during your season, as the currencies unlocked will carry over to the next. Finding all crates, recipes, and goals will also give you a headstart for the next season, allowing you to use gear blueprints for calibration and disassemble repeat furniture blueprints.

Early season phases restrict which regions you can travel to . Be sure to complete any location-based events or explorations in areas that start locked, such as Red Sands and Blackheart .

Starting The New Season Of Once Human

How to retrieve items from eternaland.

Once you choose your next season server, you'll be transported directly into the world to begin your journey. Once again, you'll be starting from level one with very few supplies and gear. Once you find somewhere safe, set up your first territory and open the Eternaland menu. By swapping to Export Resources , you'll now be able to access everything that carried over from the previous season.

Unfortunately, bringing in resources is not free. Every item has a Material Points value , and you are only allowed a certain number of points per season. Carefully review the cost of each item, as you don't want to run out of currency immediately by bringing over weapons you can't use or ammo you could have crafted. It is recommended to start by just bringing over the necessities to start gathering resources, such as a pickaxe, and gather as much as you can in your new season.

You can return to the depot at any time , so take it slow and only pull over what you need, when you need it. Keep in mind that resources not used will be converted to Astral Sand upon season reset, so make sure to use all Material Points to preserve anything you want to keep again!

In Once Human , getting used to changing seasons can be a bit confusing. Each server has its own active season and its own timeline, so be sure to choose the scenario and difficulty you want, and join in the early phases to have ample time to participate. Thankfully, progression can be quite fast, so it shouldn't take long to build up your base and gear again.

Colorado State Rams fall to No. 4 Texas Longhorns, 52-0 on the road in season opener

Updated on: August 31, 2024 / 5:38 PM MDT / AP

Quinn Ewers passed for 260 yards and three touchdowns and No. 4 Texas rolled past Colorado State 52-0 on Saturday in the opener for both teams.

Ewers connected with Matthew Golden for a pair of touchdowns in the second quarter, and had another strike to Isaiah Bond as the Longhorns built a 31-0 lead by halftime.

A big question for Texas heading into this season was just how quickly Ewers and Texas would find their rhythm in a passing attack that lost the top five receivers from the 2023 Big 12 championship team. Texas joined the Southeastern Conference this year.

Golden transferred from Houston and Bond from Alabama, and Ewers and his rebuilt receiving corps easily carved up the Rams. After a slow start that included a stalled drive and an interception on Texas' first three possessions, Texas scored 24 points in the second quarter.

Ewers spread passes around 10 different receiving and had 248 yards passing by halftime. He completed 20 of 27 passes before leaving the game for Arch Manning midway through the third quarter.

Manning's first drive started with a 40-yard pass to Johntay Cook II. It ended with Manning's first career TD pass, a scrambling 5-yard toss to Silas Bolden, another transfer from Oregon State, that made it 45-0.

The takeaway

Colorado State: The Rams have an elite receiver in Tory Horton, but he was shut down by a smothering Texas defense. Horton had five catches for 31 yards and the only deep ball thrown his way was intercepted. Colorado State did not cross the Texas 49 until the final two minutes.

Texas: Coming off last season's appearance in the College Football Playoff, Texas has its highest season-opening ranking since 2010 and Saturday was a breeze against the overmatched Rams. The lofty ranking and expectations will be put to the test next week at No. 9 Michigan, and later when the Longhorns eventually start their first Southeastern Conference schedule against Mississippi State on Sept. 28.

Scottie Scheffler caps off record season with FedEx Cup title and $25 million bonus

Scottie Scheffler has polished off the best year in golf in nearly two decades with the biggest prize

ATLANTA — A Masters green jacket and an Olympic gold medal . A first-time father and his first time being arrested . A year Scottie Scheffler won’t forget ended the best way possible Sunday when he won the FedEx Cup to cap off golf’s best season in nearly two decades.

“If you can describe it in words, more power to you,” Scheffler said after his four-shot victory in the Tour Championship for his eighth win of the year. “Because I don’t think I can.”

As always, his clubs spoke volumes.

Scheffler, who led by as many as seven shots at East Lake early in the final round, nearly hit a tee shot out-of-bounds on No. 7 for bogey. He followed that with a shank from the bunker on the reachable par-4 eighth that led to another bogey. His lead was down to two shots over Collin Morikawa.

Facing the par-3 ninth, a hole that had yielded only nine birdies all week, Scheffler hit 4-iron to 5 feet for the first of three straight birdies that sent him to a 4-under 67 and the FedEx Cup trophy with its $25 million prize, the richest in golf.

“All I’m trying to do is hit a good shot,” he said. “This year, I’ve been able to do that a lot.”

The victory pushed his season earnings, including bonuses, to just under $62.3 million.

It was the greatest year since Tiger Woods won eight times in 2006, including six in a row and two majors, all while dealing with the death of his father. Scheffler’s eight wins included the Masters, The Players Championship, an Olympic gold medal and the Tour Championship that enabled him to finally claim the FedEx Cup.

His seven PGA Tour titles are the most since Woods in 2007.

“We’ll look back on 2024 and it’s obviously one of the best individual years that a player has had for a long time,” Rory McIlroy said.

Adam Scott, who tied for fourth in the FedEx Cup, turned pro during the peak of Woods in 2000 and did not shy away from the comparisons Scheffler has created because of his consistent level of contending.

“I think it is on par with those great years of Tiger’s,” Scott said. “I think it’s very hard today for anyone to separate themselves as much as Scottie has. I don’t think we’ve seen that in a long time. I think it’s harder to do it today.”

Scheffler took the drama out of the final hour — four of his wins this year were by three shots or more — and finally let out a “WOOO!!” as he stepped inside to sign his card. He hoisted two big trophies, the silver FedEx Cup and his 4-month-old son, Bennett .

But it was hard work.

This was the third straight year Scheffler came to East Lake as the top seed, meaning he started the tournament at 10-under par with a two-shot lead. Two years ago, he lost a six-shot lead in the final round to McIlroy.

He has been PGA Tour player of the year the last two seasons, leaving without the FedEx Cup trophy. “It definitely leaves a bad taste in your mouth at the end of the year,” he said.

Scheffler was determined for that not to be the case, though it got dicey as storm clouds began to threaten. Most harrowing was the two-shot swing on No. 8, when Morikawa pumped his fist with a birdie as Scheffler’s shank led to a bogey.

And then it was over.

After his birdie on the ninth, Scheffler hit wedge to 3 feet on No. 10 for birdie, and then swirled in a 15-foot birdie putt on the par-3 11th.

“He’s not going to just starting making bogeys after that,” Morikawa said. “He’s going to do the opposite and he’s going to start hitting golf shots. It almost brought his focus back in for a half second, and that’s something you can’t teach.”

Just like that, his lead was back to five shots. And when he holed a 15-foot eagle putt on the 14th hole, it was a matter of getting to the finish line to celebrate.

Scheffler only finished out of the top 10 three times in his 19 starts. He had a pair of runner-up finishes to go along with seven PGA Tour titles.

“He’s the guy to beat every single week,” Justin Thomas said. “I don’t think people understand how hard that is to do, when you’re expected to win, when you’re the favorite to win, when every single thing you’re doing is being looked at — good and bad — on the golf course, and how hard it is to get in your own little zone and own little world and truly just quiet the noise.”

Morikawa, the No. 7 seed who started the tournament six shots behind, closed with a 66 and had the lowest score of the Tour Championship at 22-under 262. He won $12.5 million for finishing second in the FedEx Cup.

“Six shots behind was hard against the best player in the world,” Morikawa said. “I tried.”

Sahith Theegala, who called a two-shot penalty on himself Saturday for possibly brushing a small amount of sand on a bunker shot, closed with a 64 and finished third. He finished two shots behind Morikawa and earned a $7.5 million bonus for third place.

And to think it was just over five months ago when Scheffler was questioned about his putting, and he was coming up on a full year since his last PGA Tour title (he won the unofficial Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas).

His season earnings of $29,228,356 represented about 9.2% of the $317.4 million total purse from tournaments he played. Woods won $10,867,052 in 2007, about 9.7% of $112.5 million in total prize money.

Woods won about 11.6% of the total prize money in tournaments he played during 2000, still regarded as one of the great seasons ever.

The $25 million FedEx Cup prize is unofficial, as is the $8 million Scheffler received from the “Comcast Business Top 10” for leading the regular season.

The FedEx Cup trophy felt valuable in its own right, a perfect end to an astonishing season.

“It’s been a very eventful year,” Scheffler said, “but it’s been really fun.”

Enhancing itineraries are customizable with pre-and-post hotel and overland programs at beloved Four Seasons hotels and resorts.

The first Four Seasons Yacht, currently under construction in Ancona, Italy, will travel westbound as part of its repositioning and will welcome guests to set sail amid the serene turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea from January to March 2026. The first Caribbean itineraries feature seven nights of exploration through the most exciting yachting destinations including Saint Barthélemy (St Barths), Nevis, the Grenadines, St Lucia, Barbados, Martinique, Guadeloupe, Curaçao and Aruba. Destination highlights include indulging in the dazzling nightlife of St Barths, discovering Martinique’s volcanic coral reefs and lush rainforest landscapes, a marina day in St Lucia’s Tobago Cays, and much more.

Guests will explore under-the-radar islands steeped in culture and history, offering a variety of experiences that go above and beyond the ordinary of Mediterranean sailings.

Bespoke Suite Designs Focused on Comfort, Connection and Care

In collaboration with Tillberg Design of Sweden and the Yacht’s Creative Director, Prosper Assouline, the Yacht’s suite design embodies the essence of intuitive luxury, each a sanctuary of tranquillity with panoramic views, elegant interiors, thoughtful details and a residential feel that creates the sense of a welcoming home at sea.

"Our goal was to craft an environment that feels both familiar and extraordinary, with warm hues and open designs. We are creating an inviting, welcoming environment that reflects the same feeling one experiences at a Four Seasons hotel or resort," says Fredrik Johannson, Partner and Executive Director of Tillberg Design of Sweden. “At the same time, we are designing a look and feel that is unique to this project, creating an elegant yet simple interior that stands out on its own, while blending beautifully with the majestic seas that will surround it.”

With 50% more living space per guest than currently available with any competitor at sea, all suites will offer floor-to-ceiling windows showcasing sweeping sea views, double vanity bathrooms with spacious showers and closets, expansive private terraces, and dynamic use of space and light.

The Yacht’s extensive network of adjoining suites will feature an innovative system that connects accommodations with modular walls, offering numerous options of vertical and horizontal combinations within the signature suites. This versatility will unlock more than 100 different connection options and the unique opportunity to reserve an entire side of a deck, perfect for those travelling with family, friends, or larger groups. For example, this one-of-a-kind design will allow for more than 13,000 square feet (1,200 square metres) of total living space.

A New Suite Standard: Funnel and Loft Suites

The largest accommodations are seven signature suites ranging from 2,981 to 9,975 square feet (277 to 927 square metres) of indoor and outdoor living space. They offer two to three bedrooms, separate living rooms, indoor and outdoor dining space, splash pools, outdoor showers, and the option to connect to additional suites.

The premier signature suite accommodations – the Funnel and Loft Suites – both feature three bedrooms, outdoor showers, and splash pools. The largest on board, the Funnel Suite, housed within the Yacht’s glass-enclosed funnel, is 9,975 square feet (927 square metres), spanning four levels of living space. The suite’s towering floor-to-ceiling wraparound windows, made up of the largest contiguous piece of glass at sea, is a one-of-a-kind engineering feat offering stunning 280-degree panoramic views. The Loft Suite is 7,952 square feet (739 square metres) and can accommodate large group sizes of up to 20 people by connecting with seven additional suites, the largest number of connecting suites available.

When exploring beyond the comforts of their stunning suites, guests can enjoy 11 dining options, spa and wellness offerings, a state-of-the-art transverse marina, and the stern pool, set to be one of the largest in the industry at nearly 19 metres long and 5 metres wide (65 feet long and 18 feet wide). Its unique hydraulic lift design will allow the pool deck to level out, creating an expansive outdoor space for weddings, celebrations and other events.

Four Seasons Yachts will redefine luxury at sea with its all-suite, residential style product, best in class design and the brand’s renowned service and care delivered through a 1:1 guest-to-staff ratio.

This Highly Anticipated Luxury Cruise Line Just Revealed Its Inaugural Itineraries — Plus a Peek Inside Its 95 Luxe Suites

In 2026, Four Seasons Yachts will sail to more than 130 destinations.

Marc-Henry Cruise Holdings Ltd, Joint Owner/Operator Four Seasons Yachts

As we're just two short years from the debut of Four Seasons Yachts , it's time to take a look at where the first ship in the fleet will be sailing — and it's a dazzling collection of more than 130 destinations throughout the Caribbean and Mediterranean.

From January to March 2026, the first Four Seasons Yacht will sail the Caribbean, visiting such islands as St. Barts, Nevis, the Grenadines, St. Lucia, Barbados, Martinique, Guadeloupe, Curaçao and Aruba. Afterward, it'll make the transatlantic journey to the Mediterranean, traveling through the Greek Isles, the Italian Riviera, and the Adriatic, among other destinations. Each itinerary in both regions can be combined with overland extensions at Four Seasons hotels.

But Four Seasons Yachts hasn't only announced its inaugural itineraries; it's provided a sneak peek inside the first ship's 95 suites, too. Interiors are a collaboration between Tillberg Design of Sweden and Four Seasons Yachts creative director Prosper Assouline.

"Our goal was to craft an environment that feels both familiar and extraordinary, with warm hues and open designs. We are creating an inviting, welcoming environment that reflects the same feeling one experiences at a Four Seasons hotel or resort," Fredrik Johannson, partner and executive director of Tillberg Design of Sweden, said in a statement provided to Travel + Leisure .  “At the same time, we are designing a look and feel that is unique to this project, creating an elegant yet simple interior that stands out on its own, while blending beautifully with the majestic seas that will surround it.”

The suites are enormous, offering 50 percent more living space than any other ship at sea. They'll each feature floor-to-ceiling windows and private terraces to give guests sweeping sea and landscape views, wherever they are in the world.

Perhaps most uniquely, the adjoining suites on the ship have modular walls that allow for more than 100 connection options, creating versatile living arrangements for guests' needs. For example, you could combine the entire side of a deck to create a 13,000-square-foot palatial accommodation at sea.

“We are excited to showcase the breathtaking destinations and world-class design awaiting guests aboard Four Seasons Yachts as we approach our inaugural season in 2026,” Alejandro Reynal, Four Seasons president and CEO, said in a statement provided to T+L. “At Four Seasons, guest-centricity has always been the foundation of our luxury service offering and our exceptional Yacht will extend this approach to the seas."

Rates start at $19,900 per suite for a seven-night sailing; bookings are not yet open, but you can register your interest at fourseasonsyachts.com .

Four Seasons Unveils First Yacht Itineraries and Suite Interiors

Four Seasons loyalists have a lot to be excited about, with the launch of the brand’s first yacht nearing in 2026.

The 14-deck luxury vessel, which is partly being modeled off of Aristotle Onassis’ iconic yacht Christina O , will offer some of the most opulent amenities at sea. Initial renderings released in October 2023 show a 66-foot saltwater pool, a marina deck built for swimming and watersports, sophisticated dining concepts, and 95 guest suites. Now, the Four Seasons has released the first renderings showcasing the spacious suites on board—and we got a first look.

The ship's sleek design seeks to translate “the Four Seasons guest experience in terms of comfort level and the luxury standards" to life at sea, Fredrik Johannson, partner and executive director of Tillberg Design of Sweden and the lead designer on the Four Seasons Yacht, tells Condé Nast Traveler. Even the hotel group’s beloved mattresses will be offered in every room.

The first renderings of the Four Season Yacht's suites were released Tuesday, showcasing spacious guest rooms with ocean views.

Also just revealed: the first destinations the yacht will call upon throughout its inaugural year. Passengers can expect to visit a wide variety of exclusive and jet-setting locales, as the yacht is slated to visit more than 130 destinations across 30 countries in its first year alone. And of course, guests will have the option to book pre-and-post cruise extensions at iconic Four Seasons resorts along the way.

“We’re incredibly proud to announce the first itineraries aboard Four Seasons Yachts, and know that these experiences will exceed our guest expectations when we set sail in 2026,” says Alejandro Reynal, Four Seasons President and CEO.

Each voyage calls upon small ports that are typically considered “yacht playgrounds," Thatcher Brown, the Chief Commercial Officer at Marc-Henry Cruise Holdings LTD and co-owner of Four Seasons Yachts, tells Traveler. Passengers can expect to sail between Caribbean and Mediterranean coastal havens almost exclusively visited by private vessels .

When the yacht launches in January 2026, it will first head to the Caribbean, where it will complete seven-night, island-hopping itineraries between St. Barths, Nevis, the Grenadines, St Lucia, Barbados, Martinique, Guadeloupe, Curaçao, and Aruba.

Then in March 2026, the ship will cross the Atlantic and begin sailing its Grand Mediterranean voyages , which include visits to alluring towns in Croatia, Gibraltar, Montenegro, Italy, Portugal, Spain, and Turkey. Travelers can also expect to access “under-the-radar” Greek islands , like Ios and Milos, as well as more popular Grecian destinations like Athens and Santorini, according to a Four Seasons release.

Guests will have the option to adjoin suites to accommodate families or other groups traveling together.

Sure the destinations sound glamorous—but it might be difficult for passengers to depart the ship and leave behind the luxe accommodations on board. Specifically the guest suites—which will offer 50% more living space per guest than any other competitor currently at sea, according to the company’s release.

Each space will offer floor-to-ceiling windows framing views of the sea, bathrooms with double vanities, and large closets. “Almost every single bed on this whole yacht is facing the sea,” Johannson says. “All the rooms there have this clarity to them. They are very exclusive, but they have a beautiful simplicity.”

Every suite will also offer private outdoor terraces. What’s more: guests will have the option to adjoin suites to accommodate families or other groups traveling together. There are more than 100 different adjoining configurations, including the option to reserve the entire side of a deck—an opportunity that would afford a group of travel companions more than 13,000 square feet of living space.

The Four Seasons Yacht will be divided between Funnel and Loft Suites, each with private outdoor terraces.

But the true showstopper on board is sure to be the Funnel Suite. Located on the very top deck where the funnel or smokestack would traditionally be, the Funnel Suite is essentially the ship’s penthouse, spanning four floors and 9,975 square feet. The massive space will feature three bedrooms and a terrace with outdoor dining space, splash pool, and outdoor showers. But the suite’s best amenity will be its views. The four-story, floor-to-ceiling windows have been fitted with the largest piece of contiguous curved glass at sea, offering sweeping 280-degree views of the ocean as the yacht sails from port to port.

Voyages on board the Four Seasons yacht haven’t yet opened for general booking, but interested travelers can join the yacht’s waitlist in hopes of securing one of the elegant suites on the 2026 itineraries.

“We’re a hybrid, a new category of yacht,” said Pimental, when asked about whether this should be called a yacht rather than small cruise ship. “When you look at the space per person, it’s the highest space ratio in the passenger-shipping industry. We’re spending $4.3 million per cabin. There’s nothing that’s remotely close to that.”

Four Seasons’s chefs and staff, added Pimental, will be crewing the vessel. That will differentiate it from private superyachts .

The company revealed more details about the design, including its four-deck “Funnel” suite at the front of the boat, which measures more than 9,500 square feet, with the largest curved glass structure of any leisure vessel. The Funnel’s bottom floor is a full-deck apartment that has a private kitchen and access to the private deck outside. Sliding walls allow living spaces to be converted across the yacht.

The Four Seasons did not release renderings of the staterooms or other interior areas, but Four Seasons President and CEO Alejandro Reynal told Robb Report the interior designs are near completion. “We’re planning the final sign-off soon,” he said. The Four Seasons Yacht is attracting attention among the brand’s leading clients, added Reynal, and many will be the among the first guests to cruise on the vessel.

Italian shipyard Fincantieri will be building the vessel. Technical breakthroughs will include what the company calls the world’s first “variable-speed diesels,” advanced stabilization, and the ability to convert to green methane power when that technology advances. The yard has tested more than 1,000 hull shapes for optimal performance.

The yacht will also have two “marinas,” which fold out from opposite sides of the vessel so guests can access launches or engage in water sports.

The clientele won’t necessarily be yacht owners or other boat lovers, but Pimental said the target audience will be high-net-worth individuals who engage in luxury travel. “We’re really in a category of one,” he says. “The flexibility of the design, the type of luxury, the size of the staterooms set this apart.”

The first season will include winter and spring cruising in the Caribbean. The boat will then move to the Mediterranean, exploring the French and Italian Riviera, and then the Greek islands. The first year’s itinerary includes visits to 33 countries and 137 destinations. The first vessel will be joined by two other yachts in 2026 and 2027.

T&C First Look: The Four Seasons Yacht

It sets sail in 2025. There is already a waitlist.

Rather than taking account of the many hospitality brands now getting into maritime luxury , it might just be easier to list those who are not. From the Ritz-Carlton to Aman, RH to Orient Express, all have either already launched tricked out branded boats, or have announced plans to do so in the next few years. The Med is going to be quite crowded come summer 2026.

Last year at the Monaco Yacht Show, Four Seasons announced it was getting into the game. In partnership with luxury yachting company Marc-Henry Cruise Holdings Ltd. and Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri, it's building a 679-foot vessel that will have 95 suites (each equipped with a terrace), one of the largest pools at sea, custom sea limousines for coastal tours, and 11 food and beverage options. A second yacht is also in the works.

The boat's real pièce de résistance is the Funnel Suite, a 4-level, 9,500-square-foot penthouse on the water with a 5,000-square-foot terrace, a private spa and pool, and 280-degree views afforded by one giant slab of curved glass that cost $4.5 million.

When she sets sail on her maiden voyage in late 2025, the Four Seasons Yacht will do as any seafaring tycoon does and cruise the Caribbean in the winters and the Mediterranean in the summers. The brand also has the advantage of a sprawling network of hotels—126 properties in 47 countries—sprinkled throughout glitzy ports of call like the French Riviera, Taormina, Athens, and Anguilla.

As for how to book? Due to high demand, priority reservation access for the inaugural voyage will be given to loyal Four Seasons clients and travel partners. If that's you, expect an invitation in the mail. For everyone else, best of luck with that waitlist .

Four Seasons Yachts: 5 Facts and First Look at 2026 Itineraries

Sean O'Neill , Skift

March 26th, 2024 at 4:19 PM EDT

Superyachts run by the Four Seasons brand are creating a buzzy new offering. Competitors include Marriott's Ritz-Carlton and Accor's Orient Express.

Sean O'Neill

Four Seasons revealed on Tuesday the first itineraries for its new brand, Four Seasons Yachts. The hospitality company also shared the first renderings of its maiden vessel, which it has yet to name.

Here are five facts that stood out.

1. Four Seasons’ first yacht will take turns sailing the Caribbean and the Mediterranean.

When the Four Seasons Yachts brand begins service in January 2026, its first vessel will cruise to the Caribbean for weeklong trips among the islands of St. Barths, Nevis, the Grenadines, St Lucia, Barbados, Martinique, Guadeloupe, Curaçao, and Aruba.

In March 2026, the yacht will cross the Atlantic and begin trips that stop at ports in Croatia, Gibraltar, Montenegro, Italy, Portugal, Spain, and Turkey. Several itineraries will feature stops in Greece, including Athens, Ios, Santorini, and Milos.

2. Four Seasons Yachts will favor ports only private vessels tend to visit.

Four Seasons Yachts is a brand that belongs to a new generation of cruise ship offerings known as superyachts. These commercial vessels are bigger than a private yacht but smaller than a cruise ship.

An advantage of superyachts compared to typical cruise ships is that they can visit ports of call ordinarily only with the infrastructure to support small private vessels.

This agility will let the first Four Season Yacht visit more than 130 spots in over 30 countries and territories in its first year alone. A sample stop could let guests easily explore Martinique’s volcanic coral reefs and lush rainforest landscapes in a way they couldn’t if sailing on a traditional large luxury liner.

Other brands in the category include the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, which already has ships at sea, and Orient Express Silenseas, which intends to debut in 2026.

3. The superyachts intend to take design to a higher level than the standard luxury cruise liner.

The 14-deck luxury vessel is inspired by Aristotle Onassis’ iconic yacht Christina O, according to Four Seasons and its partner Marc-Henry Cruise Holdings and shipbuilder Fincantieri.

The ship will have 95 guest suites created by the brand’s creative director, Prosper Assouline, along with Tillberg Design of Sweden .

4. Suites on a Four Seasons yacht will emphasize space.

The first vessel from Four Seasons Yachts promises to have “50% more living space per guest” than what’s available on the Ilma , the first ship to debut from rival player Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection .

Suites will offer floor-to-ceiling windows, double vanity bathrooms, and large private balconies, as just-shared images reveal.

The largest suites range from 2,981 to 9,975 square feet of indoor and outdoor living space.

5. Amenities will include a 66-foot saltwater pool and a marina deck.

Review of Four Seasons Yachts

Four Seasons Yachts is a new cruise line and travel brand owned by Four Seasons Hotels Ltd via its subsidiary Marc-Henry Cruise Holdings Ltd (Malta-incorporated, Miami-based).

Debuting in 2026-Q1 (postponed from 2025-Q4), the ultra-luxury travel brand Four Seasons Yachts ( official website ) brings the Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts' legendary attentive and personalized service to the high seas. Currently, the brand plans to commence cruise revenue operations in November 2025.

Four Seasons cruise fleet consists of three identical-design newbuild superyachts (1x under construction , 1x ordered, 1x optional) representing a total investment of EUR 1,2 billion (400M per unit).

The first ship ( Four Seasons I ) was initially scheduled for completion/delivery and inauguration in November 2025, but postponed for January 2026. The second ship (Four Seasons II) was ordered in June 2023 and is planned for inauguration in December 2026. The third unit currently remains optional (by the shipbuilding contract).

Four Seasons' shipbuilder is Fincantieri ( Trieste yard for prefabrication, Ancona yard for assembly) and all vessels are Malta- flagged and registered in Valletta . The shipbuilding contract with Fincantieri was signed on July 11, 2022.

Curiously, Four Seasons' cruise shipping business started in 2003 with their ever-first vessel Four Seasons Explorer (2002-built as ISLAND EXPLORER). This catamaran-type superyacht has volume 592 GT-tons, LOA length 39 m, max passenger capacity 25.

FS Explorer (advertised as "Cruising Resort" and "Floating Resort") is currently Maldives-flagged (MMSI 511000820) and registered in the Male/Kaafu Atoll . The catamaran is now deployed in Palau (Oceania/Micronesia) and offers year-round voyages leaving roundtrip from homeport Koror . Until 2023, FS Explorer was deployed in the Maldives and operated year-round sailings in the Baa Atoll .

Itinerary of Four Seasons Yachts

Bookings for select Four Seasons cruises and itinerary information (departure dates, homeports, call ports/regions, destinations) were initially expected sometime in 2023-H2. However, details on the company's inaugural season (2026) were announced in late March 2024.

On March 26, 2024, the company announced its first 10 cruises scheduled for its first ship ( Four Seasons I ) slated for 2026-Q1. The program is based on destinations in Europe/Mediterranean and the Caribbean.

In 2026-Q1 (January-February-March), the Four Seasons I ship will visit 130+ different destinations (ports and islands) in 30+ countries. Following the inaugural Mediterranean season, the ship will be redeployed (RepositionCruises.com) from Europe to the Caribbean (westbound Transatlantic crossing) operating in the Southern Caribbean.

The European itineraries visit destinations in Croatia, Montenegro, Italy, Iberia (Portugal and Spain), and the Eastern Med/Aegean Sea - Turkey and Greece (Greek Islands and Piraeus-Athens).

The inaugural cruise season (January-March 2026) groups 130 different ports/destinations in 30+ countries/territories in the Caribbean. Most itineraries are 7-night and visit destinations like Saint Bartholemy (Gustavia), the Grenadines (Mayreau, Bequia), Nevis (Charlestown), St Lucia (Marigot Bay, Rodney Bay, Soufriere Bay, Tobago Cays), Barbados (Bridgetown, Speightstown), Dominica, Martinique (Le Marin, Pointe du Bout, Fort-de-France), Antigua (Falmouth), Guadeloupe (Isles des Saintes), Sint Maarten (Philipsburg), BVI (Peter Island), Aruba (Oranjestad), Curacao (Willemstad).

Four Seasons Yachts' first voyages in Europe are scheduled for March 2026. The Mediterranean itineraries visit Gibraltar and ports in the Adriatic (Italy, Croatia, Montenegro), Western Med (Portugal, Spain) and Aegean (Greece, Turkey). Greek Isles itineraries visit Piraeus-Athens, and popular for tourism islands like Santorini, Milos, Paros, Ios, Mykonos, Hydra.

All Four Seasons cruises can be customized to cruisetours inclusive of shore excursions and land-based programs. This way, optionally, the sailings can be extended with land stays (pre- and post-cruise packages) at Four Seasons properties (hotels and resorts).

Today: Four Seasons unveils first itineraries and interiors of its new ultra-luxury yachts

Four Seasons , together with luxury yachting company Marc-Henry Cruise Holdings Ltd and venerated Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri, continues to chart a new course of luxury at sea. As momentum builds towards the inaugural season of Four Seasons Yachts in 2025, the first 10 unique voyages are unveiled, each inviting travelers to make the iconic islands and hidden gems of the Caribbean and Mediterranean their playground, with meticulously designed suites that guests will call home along the journey. Four Seasons Yachts will redefine the luxury cruise landscape with its all-suite, residential style product, best in class design and the brand’s renowned service and care delivered through a 1:1 guest-to-staff ratio.

“We are excited to showcase the breathtaking destinations and world-class design awaiting guests aboard Four Seasons Yachts as we approach our inaugural season in 2026,” says Alejandro Reynal, President and Chief Executive Officer, Four Seasons. “At Four Seasons, guest-centricity has always been the foundation of our luxury service offering and our exceptional Yacht will extend this approach to the seas. Our teams are dedicated to innovating and delivering genuine service, ensuring each journey is defined by comfort, elegance, and personalization, setting a new standard for luxury hospitality experiences at sea.”

FOUR SEASONS YACHTS ITINERARIES

In its debut year, Four Seasons Yachts will explore more than 130 distinct destinations across over 30 countries and territories. All itineraries are crafted with flexibility in mind, allowing guests to tailor their own adventure as they explore beyond the familiar. The team curating each itinerary understands the nuances of these locales, ensuring each experience is truly extraordinary. Enhancing itineraries are customizable with pre-and-post hotel and overland programs at beloved Four Seasons hotels and resorts.

The first Four Seasons Yacht, currently under construction in Ancona, Italy, will travel westbound as part of its repositioning and will welcome guests to set sail amid the serene turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea from January to March 2026. The first Caribbean itineraries feature seven nights of exploration through the most exciting yachting destinations including Saint Barthélemy (St Barths), Nevis, the Grenadines, St Lucia, Barbados, Martinique, Guadeloupe, Curaçao and Aruba. Destination highlights include indulging in the dazzling nightlife of St Barths, discovering Martinique’s volcanic coral reefs and lush rainforest landscapes, a marina day in St Lucia’s Tobago Cays, and much more.

With more destinations and details to be unveiled in the coming months, the first Grand Mediterranean voyages will begin in March 2026 and will include sailings through Croatia, Gibraltar, Montenegro, Italy, Portugal, Spain, and Türkiye. The Mediterranean itinerary will also highlight the Greek Isles, with stops in Athens, Ios, Santorini, Milos, and more. Guests will explore under-the-radar islands steeped in culture and history, offering a variety of experiences that go above and beyond the ordinary of Mediterranean sailings.

FOUR SEASONS YACHTS DESIGN

In collaboration with Tillberg Design of Sweden and the Yacht’s Creative Director, Prosper Assouline, the Yacht’s suite design embodies the essence of intuitive luxury, each a sanctuary of tranquillity with panoramic views, elegant interiors, thoughtful details and a residential feel that creates the sense of a welcoming home at sea.

“Our goal was to craft an environment that feels both familiar and extraordinary, with warm hues and open designs. We are creating an inviting, welcoming environment that reflects the same feeling one experiences at a Four Seasons hotel or resort,” says Fredrik Johannson, Partner and Executive Director of Tillberg Design of Sweden. “At the same time, we are designing a look and feel that is unique to this project, creating an elegant yet simple interior that stands out on its own, while blending beautifully with the majestic seas that will surround it.”

With 50% more living space per guest than currently available with any competitor at sea, all suites will offer floor-to-ceiling windows showcasing sweeping sea views, double vanity bathrooms with spacious showers and closets, expansive private terraces, and dynamic use of space and light.

The Yacht’s extensive network of adjoining suites will feature an innovative system that connects accommodations with modular walls, offering numerous options of vertical and horizontal combinations within the signature suites. This versatility will unlock more than 100 different connection options and the unique opportunity to reserve an entire side of a deck, perfect for those travelling with family, friends, or larger groups. For example, this one-of-a-kind design will allow for more than 13,000 square feet (1,200 square metres) of total living space.

FOUR SEASONS YACHTS: FUNNEL & LOFT SUITES

The largest accommodations are seven signature suites ranging from 2,981 to 9,975 square feet (277 to 927 square metres) of indoor and outdoor living space. They offer two to three bedrooms, separate living rooms, indoor and outdoor dining space, splash pools, outdoor showers, and the option to connect to additional suites.

The premier signature suite accommodations – the Funnel and Loft Suites – both feature three bedrooms, outdoor showers, and splash pools. The largest on board, the Funnel Suite, housed within the Yacht’s glass-enclosed funnel, is 9,975 square feet (927 square metres), spanning four levels of living space. The suite’s towering floor-to-ceiling wraparound windows, made up of the largest contiguous piece of glass at sea, is a one-of-a-kind engineering feat offering stunning 280-degree panoramic views. The Loft Suite is 7,952 square feet (739 square metres) and can accommodate large group sizes of up to 20 people by connecting with seven additional suites, the largest number of connecting suites available.

When exploring beyond the comforts of their stunning suites, guests can enjoy 11 dining options, spa and wellness offerings, a state-of-the-art transverse marina, and the stern pool, set to be one of the largest in the industry at nearly 19 metres long and 5 metres wide (65 feet long and 18 feet wide). Its unique hydraulic lift design will allow the pool deck to level out, creating an expansive outdoor space for weddings, celebrations and other events.
