With a planned launch in April 2028, we anticipate that the demand for Four Seasons II will be on pace with what we experienced during the brand’s inaugural seasons at sea. That is to say, rooms and suites will go quickly. So, we’re here to help you get ahead of the curve and begin exploring sailings as far as two years in advance, particularly as we look to Four Seasons Yacht’s French Riviera sailings in high summer season. The brand has expertly engineered its guests’ Mediterranean experience, pairing yachting ease with the privacy of a residential design across its suites.

This six-day voyage aboard Four Seasons II follows the coastline from Salerno to Monte Carlo, pairing restorative days at sea with extended stops along the French Riviera. Your journey begins with embarkation in Salerno. Then, the French Riviera comes into view through two distinctly different ports: Saint-Tropez, followed by an overnight stay docked in front of Beaulieu-sur-Mer. After five nights onboard, your voyage concludes in Monte Carlo. Your SmartFlyer travel advisor can tailor the days onboard to your priorities, whether that means securing a table at Club 55, organizing a private museum visit focused on Riviera art and architecture, or extending your time in Monaco after you step off the yacht.

Across eleven days and ten nights, this customizable itinerary will have you moving through four distinct landscapes, from the coffee estates surrounding Arusha to the exclusive-use wilderness of Burunge, the famed western Serengeti and the granite outcrops of the Greater Mwiba Protected Wildlife Area. Launched in spring 2026, Auberge Safari is rooted in an ethos centered on the brand’s broader commitment to the land and the communities that share it. Through its thoughtful partnerships with the Friedkin Conservation Fund and the Chem Chem Foundation, when you stay with the lodges in its collection, you’re supporting conservation across vital wildlife corridors and buffer zones between unfenced national parks and surrounding communities. By the time you depart, you’ll be an advocate for the aim not simply to preserve Tanzania as it is today, but to help ensure these landscapes remain connected, protected and alive for generations to come. From the savannahs of the Serengeti to the quieter wilderness beyond the national parks, this is Tanzania experienced with space to breathe; true, wild and free.

From the polished glamour of the  Costa del Sol to the grand boulevards of Madrid and the coves of Menorca, each Spanish destination offers its own interpretation of the country, and Meliá provides a natural throughline. Founded in 1956 in Mallorca, the brand has stayed true to its Spanish roots even as its footprint has expanded globally. Within Spain, rather than imposing one aesthetic across its wide range of properties, the brand lets each property take cues from its surroundings, relying on its own history to deliver authentic and compelling expressions of each place.

At ME Marbella, contemporary design and the social energy of Puerto Banús set the scene. In Madrid, Palacio de los Duques Gran Meliá brings you into a restored nineteenth-century palace in the heart of the Habsburg district. On Menorca, Villa Le Blanc Gran Meliá showcases the island’s whitewashed architecture, local cuisine, and coastal landscapes. Across this customizable ten-night itinerary through Marbella, Madrid, and Menorca, you’ll experience three distinct sides of Spain through its food, art, architecture, wellness, and nature—with enough time in each destination to appreciate what makes it more than simply a place to sleep.

Your journey begins in Dublin, where you’ll enjoy a two-night stay at The Westbury. Perfectly positioned in the heart of the city’s vibrant cultural quarter, it’s the ideal launch point to see the city’s highlights. From the capital, you’ll venture for a two-night stay at Ballyfin Demesne. Nestled within 614 acres of pristine private parkland, Ballyfin offers an unrivaled sense of exclusivity, tranquility, and personalized service. Your itinerary concludes with the dramatic beauty of Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way, and you settle in for two nights at Ashford Castle. Set within an extraordinary 800-year-old estate in County Mayo, Ashford Castle masterfully blends historic grandeur with modern touches. With the guidance of your SmartFlyer travel advisor, you’ll be armed to experience a version of Ireland that gives you more: more discovery, more wonder, more connection.

This nine-day itinerary will guide you through the historic streets of Italy’s fashion capital before weaving you through the calm of Lake Como and ultimately ending on a high note, soaking up the classic majesty of Venice. This customizable itinerary includes two nights at Casa Brera, a Luxury Collection Hotel; three nights at Lake Como EDITION; and three nights at The Gritti Palace, a Luxury Collection Hotel. Each stop can be tailored to your preferences. If you want to spend more time shopping, there’s space for that. If you want to spend more time lazing in the sun, that’s also possible. That’s the beauty of northern Italy: with so much to offer, there’s more than enough for everyone to find plenty to delight in.

This itinerary is anchored by three nights at The Cadogan, a London address in its charming Chelsea neighborhood. It’s London from a local vantage point—cozy with plenty of opportunity to explore. Beyond London’s famous landmarks lies a capital defined by its more residential neighborhoods, hidden mews, riverside walks, independent galleries, and elegant garden squares. Chelsea offers a distinctly residential character. It’s an ideal introduction to Britain before exchanging bustling city streets for rolling countryside and dramatic coastlines. Long celebrated as one of London’s most fashionable neighborhoods, Chelsea has evolved from an artists’ enclave into a destination where heritage and contemporary culture coexist.

Next, step aboard the Britannic Explorer and watch out the train car window as London slips away, replacing the cityscape with grassy fields and open skies. This is travel at its most nostalgic: particularly once you reach Cornwall’s windswept coast and tucked-away harbors. Each stop on the Belmond journey reveals a new side of England, inviting you to slow down, look out the window, and rediscover the pleasure of making your mode of transport an integral element of the trip. There’s something wonderfully timeless about seeing Britain by rail. Long lunches stretch into leisurely afternoons; cocktails accompany golden-hour views, and conversations linger well into the evening as the scenery quietly slips past. By the time the train reaches Cornwall, the destination feels earned.

Santorini is defined by its volcanic cliffs and its association with the legend of Atlantis. Paros shows a quieter rhythm defined by village life, craftsmanship, and enduring local customs. Mykonos balances cosmopolitan energy and a long history. In Greek mythology and early storytelling traditions, these islands are set in a world molded by gods, heroes, and sea voyages. That narrative of discovery still lingers in the waters today, where myths and modern life intertwine. 

When diving into this customizable itinerary, your own mythic journey begins in Santorini, formed by one of the largest volcanic eruptions in recorded history. From Santorini, the route continues through the central Cyclades to Paros, known in antiquity for its white marble. Your final stop is Mykonos, positioned just across the water from Delos, one of the most important archaeological and mythological sites in Greece. Across ten days, the route traces islands carved by volcanic forces, ancient trade routes, mythology, and culture, creating a richly varied Aegean itinerary that brings history and storytelling into a memorable voyage. 

Western Australia rewards travelers willing to venture beyond the expected. Covering nearly one-third of the Australian continent, this vast state unfolds as a study in contrasts: a sophisticated capital city framed by white-sand beaches, an ancient wilderness carved by billion-year-old landscapes, and a remote coastline where whale sharks glide through turquoise waters. Designed for travelers who believe the journey should feel as extraordinary as the destination, this customizable nine-night itinerary moves from Perth to the Kimberley before concluding on the shores of Ningaloo Reef—showcasing a side of Australia few visitors ever get to experience.

Begin in Perth with a stay at COMO The Treasury, where contemporary design, world-class dining, and historic architecture set the tone. From there, soar by helicopter into the Margaret River wine region for a day of private tastings before heading north to El Questro Homestead in the Kimberley. Days here are spent cruising through dramatic gorges, hiking to hidden swimming holes, soaking in thermal springs, and gaining a deeper understanding of Country alongside Aboriginal guides. After one final evening in Perth, continue west to Sal Salis, where safari-style tents overlook the dunes of Cape Range National Park and swimming with whale sharks awaits.

How can you sink into a sophisticated experience that feels genuinely fresh? This itinerary, crafted for cinematic delight, features inspiring Belmond properties across iconic Italian locales. From the newly reimagined Villa San Michele in Florence to the legendary Hotel Cipriani in Venice and the reimagined Villa Timeo at Grand Hotel Timeo in Taormina, each stay promises glamour and unforgettable memories.

Whether you want to plan a multi-generational trip to immerse yourself in the art and culture of these renowned Italian cities or dream of embarking on an intimate exploration of the culinary offerings of each distinct region, your SmartFlyer travel advisor can work with you to completely customize this itinerary.
