Where Legendary Hospitality Meets the Open Sea

The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection represents something genuinely new in ultra-luxury travel – the extension of The Ritz-Carlton’s legendary standard of service from the world’s finest hotels to the open ocean. With an intimate fleet of custom-built superyachts carrying fewer than 300 guests, this is not simply a cruise. It is a bespoke yachting experience where every detail reflects the same meticulous care that has defined The Ritz-Carlton brand for over a century. Every suite features its own private terrace and personal concierge, dining is complimentary across all venues, and premium wines, champagnes, and spirits flow freely throughout your voyage. From the transformable Marina platform to the refined interiors that blend warm woods and natural light, every element has been crafted to deliver a standard that far exceeds the ordinary.

The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection’s intimate size is its greatest navigational advantage, granting access to exclusive harbors, hidden coves, and boutique ports that larger vessels simply cannot reach. Imagine docking directly in the heart of Monte Carlo, gliding into the ancient harbor of Dubrovnik, or anchoring off the sun-drenched shores of Ibiza and St. Barths. Voyages showcase the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Northern Europe, and transatlantic crossings, with itineraries designed around extended port stays and overnight calls that allow for deeper, more immersive exploration of each destination.

Cruising in Comfort with Exceptional, Personalized Service

What truly sets The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection apart is something you feel the moment you step aboard. With a staff-to-guest ratio of approximately one to one, the level of personalized attention is unmatched at sea. Every guest is assigned a personal concierge who anticipates needs before they arise – from arranging a favorite cocktail waiting in your suite upon return from a shore excursion to securing a coveted dinner reservation at the onboard specialty restaurant. The service philosophy is drawn directly from The Ritz-Carlton’s Gold Standards, a framework built on genuine care, anticipatory service, and emotional intelligence. This is not scripted hospitality. It is intuitive, warm, and deeply personal – the kind of service that remembers your preferences and makes you feel genuinely known.

The Marina – Your Private Gateway to the Sea

One of the most distinctive features of The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection is the Marina – a transformable platform at the yacht’s stern that folds open to create a stunning waterfront lounge at sea level. When conditions permit, it becomes your personal gateway to the ocean, offering complimentary water sports including kayaking, paddleboarding, sailing, and swimming directly from the yacht. In the evening, the Marina transforms into a sublime outdoor lounge and dining venue, with the gentle sounds of the sea as your backdrop. It is an experience entirely unique to the superyacht concept – one that blurs the line between vessel and destination in the most captivating way.

Frequently Asked Questions About The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection

Voyages are curated to showcase the world’s most desirable destinations, including the Western and Eastern Mediterranean, the Caribbean, Northern Europe, and transatlantic crossings. The yachts’ intimate size allows them to dock directly in boutique harbors and exclusive ports that larger ships cannot access – places like Monte Carlo, Dubrovnik, St. Barths, and Portofino. Itineraries frequently include extended port stays and overnight calls for deeper destination immersion, giving you the kind of unhurried exploration that transforms a voyage into something genuinely extraordinary.

The voyage fare is comprehensively all-inclusive. It covers all onboard dining across multiple restaurants, premium wines, champagnes, and spirits, unlimited Wi-Fi, gratuities, onboard entertainment and enrichment, personal concierge service, in-suite bar and minibar, 24-hour in-suite dining, water sports from the Marina platform, and fitness and wellness programming. The goal is an effortless experience where virtually everything is included from the moment you step aboard.

Every accommodation aboard is a suite with a private terrace – there are no inside cabins or ocean-view rooms without outdoor space. Categories range from the Terrace Suite to the expansive Loft Suites featuring two-story living spaces, as well as the grand Owner’s Suite and the spectacular two-bedroom Owners’ Penthouse. All suites feature premium bedding, marble-appointed bathrooms, personal concierge service, an in-suite bar and minibar, and thoughtfully curated amenities. Your Extraordinary Adventures advisor can help you select the ideal suite category and location based on your preferences and travel style.

The inaugural yacht, Evrima, accommodates 298 guests in 149 all-suite accommodations, each with a private terrace. The fleet is expanding with additional sister yachts – Ilma and Luminara – which will offer even more capacity while maintaining the intimate, ultra-luxury superyacht atmosphere that defines the collection. Each yacht is purpose-built to deliver the highest standards of design, comfort, and service at sea. The interiors blend warm woods, rich fabrics, and natural light to create a residential ambiance, and every vessel features the distinctive Marina platform at the stern.

Yes, a valid passport is required for all Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection voyages, as itineraries visit international destinations across the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Northern Europe, and transatlantic routes. Your passport should be valid for at least six months beyond your travel dates. Some ports of call may also require visas depending on your nationality. Your Extraordinary Adventures advisor will provide detailed documentation guidance specific to your chosen itinerary so nothing is left to chance.

All dining aboard is complimentary and offered without rigid schedules or assigned seating. S.E.A., the signature restaurant, features contemporary fine dining inspired by the destinations visited. The Pool House offers relaxed, elegant fare in a stylish poolside setting. Mistral serves sophisticated al fresco cuisine under the stars. The Living Room provides a convivial space for lighter bites and cocktails. Full in-suite dining is available 24 hours a day, served course by course by your personal concierge. Menus draw on locally sourced ingredients from ports of call, and the culinary team is guided by a Michelin-starred vision that ensures every meal feels both inspired and effortless.

Onboard enrichment is thoughtfully curated to complement each voyage’s destinations and the interests of guests aboard. Programming may include guest speakers, cultural performances, culinary demonstrations, and wellness experiences. The intimate setting means enrichment feels personal rather than impersonal – you might find yourself in a small-group wine tasting led by a sommelier or a conversation with a local artisan who has joined the yacht for a single port call. Entertainment in the evenings ranges from live music to themed events, all designed to enhance rather than overwhelm.

The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection’s superyachts are designed with guest comfort in mind, and accessible suites are available. We recommend discussing any specific mobility requirements with your Extraordinary Adventures advisor during the planning process so we can ensure the right suite category, deck placement, and any necessary accommodations are arranged well in advance. Your advisor can also coordinate accessible shore excursion options at each port of call.

The atmosphere aboard is sophisticated yet relaxed, reflecting the modern luxury sensibility of The Ritz-Carlton. Daytime attire is resort casual. In the evening, the dress code shifts to Ritz-Carlton Casual (smart, stylish attire) or Ritz-Carlton Evening (elegant cocktail or dinner attire). The vibe is polished but never stiff – the emphasis is on feeling comfortable and confident while enjoying an elevated setting.

We recommend booking 8-12 months in advance, and even earlier for peak-season Mediterranean voyages or holiday sailings. With only 149 suites aboard Evrima, availability is inherently limited – and the most desirable suite categories and itineraries tend to sell out quickly. Booking early also gives you the best selection of suite locations and categories. Your Extraordinary Adventures advisor can monitor upcoming releases and provide first-look access to new itineraries as they become available, ensuring you never miss the perfect voyage.
