Earlier this month, the first Ritz-Carlton yacht embarked on its maiden voyage.
Introducing the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, the hotel group has become the latest international hotel chain to enter the yachting industry.
When Evrima, the collection’s first vessel, sailed from Barcelona to the south of France earlier this month, the collection took to the seas for the first time. Designed to replicate the Ritz-Carlton’s signature brand of elevated hospitality in a new setting, Evrima is the first of three custom-built Ritz-Carlton yachts.
“We are thrilled to introduce The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection and usher in an exciting new chapter for this beloved brand,” Marriott International senior vice president for Luxury Brands Chris Gabaldon said.
“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.”
Guests can combine trips without repeating destinations on Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection vessels thanks to their varied itinerary. In addition to the crystal clear waters of the Balearic Islands, the dense tropical shores of Costa Rica, and the glam marina towns along the French Riviera, the cruise will visit some of the world’s most favored destinations over a period of seven to ten days.
A total of 149 beautifully appointed suites are available on the 623-ft Evrima, all with a private terrace and a floor-to-ceiling window view. Additionally, the ship will feature a signature spa that offers a comprehensive treatment menu, an infinity pool, a Kids Club, and several dining options.
In addition to local guides, trekking expeditions, and museum visits, each Ritz-Carlton itinerary will also offer unique onshore experiences through The Shore Collection. In addition to onboard concierge services, there will be a concierge team who can organize bespoke onshore tours for more individual requests. There’s even the option of extending the experience into an overnight excursion and rejoining the itinerary at the next call.
