following a fixed itinerary, guided by many of the world's most marvelous

offering extended stays for in-depth exploration on all seven continents.

Seasons Ocean Residences embody. In addition to the elegant surroundings,
meticulous staff, and exciting range of amenities, residents will have
ample opportunity to enjoy a variety of dining options featuring a
combination of the ship's specialties as well as regional experiences. The
four restaurants onboard are designed to accommodate groups of various
sizes. If guests wish to spend time at home, they can enjoy intimate
"in-residence" dining prepared by a Four Seasons chef.
