World-renowned hospitality brand The Ritz-Carlton now offers guests its luxury resort experience at sea with the debut of The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection.
The three custom-built superyachts will perfectly blend the lifestyle of The Ritz-Carlton resorts with the casual freedom of a yachting vacation, bringing guests an innovative, groundbreaking travel experience.
“We are thrilled to introduce The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection and usher in an exciting new chapter for this beloved brand,” says Marriott International Senior Vice President for Luxury Brands Chris Gabaldon. “The Ritz-Carlton has long been rooted in innovation and service excellence, guided by a commitment to be at the forefront of delivering transformative travel experiences. As we continue to evolve our legendary brand, we could not be more excited to give our guests the opportunity to experience The Ritz-Carlton in a new way.”
The first yacht of the collection, Evrima, paved the way for the hospitality brand’s new era of yacht-style cruisingwith a voyage that departed from Barcelona, Spain on October 15, 2022 to Nice, France.
Evrima features 149 suites, offering a selection of larger rooms, two-story loft suites and the option to combine suites for an open-concept space. All rooms feature a private terrace and floor-to-ceiling windows, as well as the expected luxurious amenities from a Ritz-Carlton resort, including a king bed, double vanity bathroom, luxury linens and more.
On board, travelers have access to spa treatments, a fitness center, watersports, an infinity pool, in-house entertainment, art and discussion events, as well as a range of dining options including a specialty dining experience designed by the chef of the three Michelin-starred Ritz Carlton restaurant, Aqua.
Evrima sails to the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, Central America and South America with most voyages ranging from seven to 10 nights. Measuring 190-meters, Evrima can access some of the most unique and sought-out ports, such as Mykonos, Saint-Tropez and St. Barts. At each destination, guests can choose from a selection of intimate on-shore experiences, such as world-class museum tours, yoga on a private beach and more.
