Captain Kate McCue Sets a New Course

Why did Captain Kate McCue—trailblazing mariner and the face of modern cruising—leave her high-profile role at Celebrity Cruises? And what's bringing her to the shipyards of Italy, where she's helping shape one of the most ambitious luxury yachting projects in the world?

In this episode, we explore McCue's bold transition from mega cruise ships to the helm of Four Seasons Yacht I, the first ultra-luxury vessel from the iconic hotel brand. Slated for a 2026 debut, this yacht promises a new kind of sea travel—intimate, personalised, and curated with precision. And at the centre of it all is Kate McCue, already on the ground (or rather, in dry dock), overseeing its final build phase.
