Four Seasons Yachts Family Policy

What's the minimum age for kids to sail?

As an adult-oriented ultra-luxury product, Four Seasons Yachts' itineraries and onboard experience generally aren't designed with infants or young children in mind. Touring the youth program facilities during an open house on embarkation day gives parents a good sense of what to expect. That detail alone can save some back-and-forth later.

Are there discounts for kids sharing a cabin with parents?

Many cruise lines run seasonal 'kids sail free' or reduced-fare promotions for children sharing a cabin with two full-paying adults, depending on the specific sailing and season. It's worth asking staff directly about counselor-to-child ratios if that's an important factor for your family. Small thing, but it matters if you're planning around it.

Is childcare or a kids' club available onboard?

Age-based kids' clubs are standard on most major lines, ranging from toddler areas to teen spaces, typically at no extra charge beyond your fare. Packing a few familiar comfort items from home can help younger kids settle into a new environment more easily. Not a bad idea to keep that in your back pocket.

Can grandparents or other relatives book a cabin with grandkids without a parent present?

This depends on the cruise line - some require a parent on the booking, while others accept notarized consent for a minor traveling with a grandparent. Signing kids up for program sessions as early as embarkation day tends to secure better time slots for popular activities. Easy to overlook, but it's worth a mental note.

Are connecting cabins good for families with young kids?
