One of the distinctive elements of the project is the decision to feature only suites, creating an intimate and exclusive environment for guests. The ship will offer 95 suites, each equipped with spacious terraces and custom-designed interiors, ensuring unparalleled privacy and comfort. The Funnel Suite, boasting an impressive 457 square meters, will be the pinnacle of the onboard experience, offering guests an unmatched level of luxury with breathtaking panoramic views and private spaces unlike anything else in the cruise industry.
Beyond its refined design and meticulous attention to detail, Four Seasons I also stands out for its commitment to environmental sustainability through the latest technological advancements. The cruise industry is undergoing a significant transformation, with a growing emphasis on reducing environmental impact and optimizing energy consumption. The ship will be equipped with advanced waste management systems, water-saving technologies, and emission-reduction solutions, adhering to the strictest international environmental regulations. Integrating these solutions aligns with the expectations of luxury travelers, who are increasingly conscious of the ecological responsibility of cruise operators.
