Four Season Yacht with TravelBugDiva | Ep 69

What does a $350,000 cruise suite look like, and can Four Seasons Yachts truly redefine luxury at sea? In this episode of Luxury Cruising, Dr. Krystal Sodaitis welcomes luxury traveler and content creator Joi, to discuss her firsthand experience aboard the highly anticipated inaugural sailing of Four Seasons Yachts. Joi shares every detail of the ultra-luxury experience, from personalized embarkation and 710-square-foot suites to heated bathroom floors, translucent TVs, and staff who knew every guest by name. The conversation explores how Four Seasons is bringing its iconic hotel service standards onto the water while creating something entirely different from traditional cruising. The episode also dives into the realities of ultra-luxury cruising, including pricing, what is and isn’t included, entertainment expectations, and why returning to mainstream cruising afterward may feel impossible. Listeners will hear about helicopter excursions to Michelin-star restaurants in Provence, private Mercedes transfers, curated culinary experiences, luxury spa amenities, and the surprisingly intimate atmosphere created by hosting only 137 guests onboard.
