“ At the inception of this project , Tillberg Design of Sweden worked very closely with the Marc-Henry team and Four Seasons , in analysing extensive market research , and creating a very clear and solid brand manifesto . As we are building a whole new guest experience from scratch , this document has been instrumental as a guidance for the development of our entire yacht , which has turned out distinctly unique ,” said Larry Pimentel , CEO of Marc- Henry Cruise Holdings . “ The iconic , timeless and beautiful exterior is also the work of TDoS , and they have since master planned the whole vessel , designed all the guest suites , and some of the prime public areas onboard .

As our lead architects , they have once again demonstrated their passion and deep knowledge of high-end design , from the broad strokes down to the finest details .”

Already at the outset , we concluded that the master planning must be made to welcome every single guest as if it was to the yacht of a close friend , instilling an instant sense of relaxation and belonging ,” adds Johansson .
Yet another spectacular design feature onboard is the port-to-starboard transversal marina . Not only is this dual marina a unique engineering masterpiece , but its terraced design also allows the guests to

Each suite will offer floor-to-ceiling windows providing unobstructed natural light and access to expansive terrace decks . The combination of generous indoor and outdoor private guest space and ceiling heights of more than 2.4 metres will achieve a new level of guest comfort . The Four Seasons Yacht will also feature a number of high-class restaurants , lounges , bars , spas and other high-class amenities .
Tillberg Design of Sweden has a strong experience in the relatively new yacht liner field . The studio is the lead architect for master planning and interior concepts for 222-metre Somnio dubbed the world ’ s largest private residence superyacht and The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection .
