Ritz Carlton Yacht Collection
[ OVERVIEW ]Ritz-Carlton was the first hotel brand to bet big on the water. And it’s paying off. With Evrima, Ilma, and Luminara, they’ve set the benchmark for what this new style of ultra-luxury travel looks like: polished design, big airy suites (all with terraces), and the signature Ritz-Carlton service you’d expect, but on the scale of a private yacht.
The Evrima is the smallest of the Ritz Carlton ships, followed by Ilma and Luminara:
Evrima – 149 suites
Ilma – 224 suites
Luminara – 226 suites
Forget buffets and crowded dining halls. Here it’s Michelin-inspired restaurants, a world-class spa, and a marina platform that lets you slip straight into the sea for watersports or sunbathing.
What really makes Ritz-Carlton stand out right now is reach. Their itineraries already span the globe—the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, Africa, Asia, Alaska, and the Caribbean—while the other hotel-branded yachts are still gearing up.

Global Itineraries
The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection opens the world in ways few travelers have experienced. Their thoughtfully designed itineraries span the globe—from the sun-soaked Mediterranean and the dramatic coastlines of Northern Europe, to the wildlife-rich shores of Africa, the cultural treasures of Asia, the glaciers of Alaska, and the turquoise waters of the Caribbean.
What sets these voyages apart is not just where you go, but how you experience each destination. With smaller yachts that access exclusive harbors and less-traveled ports, you’ll find yourself exploring hidden gems that larger ships simply can’t reach. Paired with Ritz-Carlton’s signature service and immersive shore experiences, these journeys transform travel into an extraordinary way of life—allowing you to see the world’s most coveted places with unparalleled ease, intimacy, and style.
Three Yachts
The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection has already launched three stunning yachts, each one raising the bar higher than the last. From design to dining, suite layout to onboard experiences, every new ship reflects guest feedback and the brand’s commitment to continual refinement. The result: a fleet that not only delivers Ritz-Carlton’s legendary service at sea, but also evolves with every launch to offer even more space, innovation, and sophistication. With each yacht, the experience becomes richer, more seamless, and more extraordinary.
A fleet designed around you
The “Larger” Yachts – The Best of Both Worlds
With two “larger” ships (Ilma and Luminara) in the fleet (although with a 452 maximum guest capacity), The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection offers an extraordinary blend of scale and intimacy. Guests enjoy multiple dining venues, expanded spa and wellness facilities, and enhanced onboard experiences, all delivered with Ritz-Carlton’s signature elegance. The larger capacity also allows for a wider range of itineraries and more travel date options, while still maintaining the exclusivity, space, and personalized service that define ultra-luxury yachting.
The Smaller Yacht – Intimacy at Its Finest
The smaller yacht, Evrima, is ideal for travelers who seek even more privacy, and tranquility. Its intimate size allows it to slip into secluded harbors and lesser-known ports that are inaccessible to larger vessels, creating itineraries rich with hidden gems. Coupled with the renowned Ritz-Carlton service, this Evrima offers a journey that feels uniquely personal and deeply immersive.
Seamless connection to the sea
The Marina Each Ritz-Carlton yacht features a signature Marina—an innovative design that brings you directly to the water’s edge. From this private platform, guests can step seamlessly into the sea for swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking, or other watersports, all with the same elegance and ease you’d expect from a Ritz-Carlton resort. Unlike traditional cruise ships, which keep the ocean at a distance, the Marina creates an intimate connection with the sea, transforming it into your personal playground.
The Acquabana – A Floating Haven
Exclusive to the Ilma and Luminara, the Acquabana takes ocean leisure to another level. This customized floating pool system unfolds from the yacht into the sea, creating a chic and secure space to lounge, swim, and soak in the surroundings. Picture yourself reclining on plush sunbeds, sipping champagne, while the crystal-clear water sparkles around you—no crowds, no distractions, just the luxury of enjoying the sea as if it were entirely yours. It’s a playful yet sophisticated extension of the yacht experience, embodying the perfect balance of adventure and indulgence.
