Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection
OVERVIEW
The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection is set to bring its luxurious land-based brand of hospitality to the seas. The line's first yacht, Evrima, is scheduled to make its first sailing from Spain to France on October 15, 2022.
The first of three yachts on order, Evrima can accommodate 298 passengers. The two new vessels, which will be bigger than Evrima, are scheduled to debut in 2024 and 2025, respectively. The guest experience on the yacht is designed to serve as an extension of the Ritz-Carlton hospitality brand, reflected across various aspects of the vessel, from design to dining options.
Evrima has 149 suites, including two-story loft suites and some that have soundproof blind walls, allowing guests to combine them into larger, open-concept spaces. Each suite has floor-to-ceiling windows, a private terrace, and king beds.
S.E.A., the vessel's signature restaurant, serves a European tasting menu and was designed by chef Sven Elverfeld, who is in charge of three-Michelin-starred restaurant Aqua at the Ritz-Carlton's Wolfsburg, Germany property. Other choices include Southeast Asian-inspired cuisine at Talaat Nam, and Mistral, which offers a Mediterranean-influenced menu and prime views.
There will also be spa treatments, as well as a variety of shore excursions on offer, including snorkeling at reefs, yoga on the beach, and curator-led museum tours, which vary by itinerary. Fares include multiple restaurants, room service, Wi-Fi, beverages, personal concierge service, water sports equipment and more.
DESTINATIONS VISITED
The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collections first vessel Evrima will travel to the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, South America and more, depending on the time of year, with itineraries that include Costa Rica and the French Riviera.
Future plans include Canada and New England, Northern Europe and the Baltic Region and crossing voyages.
