Sophie Heawood's Luxurious Adriatic Voyage on the Four Seasons Yacht

In a personal travel diary for AnOther Magazine, writer Sophie Heawood recounts her Adriatic voyage aboard the Four Seasons Yacht, the first yacht built by the hotel chain, with a construction cost exceeding £320 million, a length of 679 feet, and 11 storeys. The yacht features restaurants, pools, cocktail bars, and suites, including the Superior Seaview Suite shared with her teenage daughter. Heawood describes the yacht's amenities: the Sedna restaurant with a Michelin-starred French chef from Hong Kong, a cinema, a spa with saunas and hammam, and a Caviar and Champagne bar. She notes the yacht's advanced rotating propulsion system, which makes movement imperceptible. The journey includes stops in Croatia and Montenegro, with visits to the Marco Polo museum on Korčula, a speedboat trip to Catovica Mlini, and Our Lady of the Rocks church. Heawood humorously critiques the onboard entertainment, including a guitarist performing Miley Cyrus and an Abba tribute act, and reflects on the lifestyle of luxury. The piece ends with their departure in Dubrovnik, noting that voyages on the Four Seasons Yachts are bookable now.
