The luxury hotel brand Ritz-Carlton has entered the cruise market with its new brand, The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection. It extends the hotel's meticulous hospitality to the sea, combining the freedom of a private yacht to create a premier maritime journey.

The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection has been introducing its three all-suite yachts—Evrima, Ilma, and Luminara—starting from 2022. With between 149 and 226 suites, the guest-to-staff ratio is nearly 1:1, and the space ratio per guest is close to 90. Each suite is assigned a Personal Concierge, providing personalized and detail-oriented service.

Luxury Suites

The suites are spacious and all feature a private terrace, allowing guests to admire the ocean view in privacy. They are equipped with a king-size bed, double vanity bathroom, espresso machine, mini-bar, and 24-hour in-suite dining. The terraces of top-tier suites (such as the Owner’s Suite and Concierge Suite) feature lounging areas where you can overlook the sea from a plush sofa or soak up the sun on a chaise lounge.

A Personal Concierge assists with itinerary planning, shore excursion reservations, and special requests, delivering meticulous service with Ritz-Carlton's high standards to make your journey more effortless.
