The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection brings the unmistakable polish of The Ritz-Carlton to the open sea with an intimate, all-suite yachting experience designed for travellers who want their luxury to feel effortless, residential, and deeply personal. It’s not “cruising” in the traditional sense; it’s a refined new way to explore the world’s most captivating coastlines with the ease of a five-star hotel—only with a new horizon every morning. 

​

Now sailing across the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Northern Europe, Alaska and beyond, the fleet - Evrima, Ilma, and Luminara is purpose-built for intimacy and access, with a scale that feels exclusive and wonderfully unhurried. Think late mornings, long lunches, elegant evenings, and the kind of service that anticipates what you want before you need to ask. 

​

Accommodation is the cornerstone of the experience. Suites are light-filled and beautifully understated, designed with a calm, contemporary sensibility with each suite featuring a private terrace, so the sea is never something you “visit,” it’s simply part of your day. The newest yacht, Luminara, offers 226 suites with private terraces and is celebrated for its generous sense of space at sea. 

​

A signature highlight is the Marina, a beach-style platform at the stern that opens directly onto the water. Here, the yacht lifestyle comes to life: sea swims, sun-soaked lounging, and those perfect, spontaneous moments that only happen when you’re truly close to the ocean. 

​

Onboard dining is destination-led and mood-driven, with multiple venues ranging from relaxed poolside bites to elevated evenings. For something truly special, S.E.A. offers an inspired tasting experience created by chef Sven Elverfeld, while other restaurants explore global flavours, from Mediterranean seafood to Pan-Asian influences, alongside beautifully delivered in-suite dining when privacy calls. 

​

Wellness is equally considered, anchored by a dedicated spa and rejuvenation program designed to slow the pace and restore the senses. Between serene treatment spaces, sun-drenched decks and elegant lounges, the atmosphere is quietly glamorous and never crowded, never rushed, always exactly as refined as you’d expect from The Ritz-Carlton name.

Itineraries are crafted for discovery at a graceful rhythm, pairing iconic ports with smaller, more exclusive calls, and even shorter sailings (including under six nights) for those who want a taste of yachting without committing to a longer journey. From the storied Mediterranean to the Caribbean and further afield, each voyage is designed to feel curated rather than scheduled. 

​

For discerning travellers who value freedom, privacy, and sophisticated design, The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection is a rare sweet spot: the intimacy of a private yacht, the confidence of a legendary luxury brand, and a journey where the yacht itself becomes your most beautiful destination.
