The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection launched Evrima in 2022 after a four-year shipyard delay, and has since added Ilma and Luminara — a three-yacht fleet built to feel like a private charter with hotel-grade service behind it.
About The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection
The yachts carry between 298 and 448 guests in all-suite, all-balcony accommodation, with an average suite size well above the luxury norm and a service ratio close to one crew member per guest.
What separates the brand commercially is Marriott Bonvoy. Guests earn Bonvoy points on cruise fare and onboard spend, elite status is recognised aboard, and points can be redeemed against voyages — the only meaningful bridge between a global hotel programme and a luxury cruise product.
Onboard the tone is deliberately unstructured: no formal nights, no assigned seating, dining across five to seven venues including a Michelin-starred chef partnership, and a marina platform at the stern for swimming and watersports whenever conditions allow.
Itineraries are short by luxury standards — mostly seven to ten nights — designed to be combined with a Ritz-Carlton hotel stay at either end, which is exactly how the brand sells them.

Loyalty Programme — Marriott Bonvoy
Marriott Bonvoy members earn points on cruise fare and onboard spend, and voyages can be booked with points at published redemption rates.
Bonvoy elite tiers carry aboard: Platinum and above receive priority embarkation, a welcome amenity and onboard credit, while Ambassador members are assigned a dedicated point of contact for the voyage.
Because Bonvoy status is earnable through hotel stays and co-brand cards, the yacht product is unusually accessible to travellers who have never sailed with the brand before.
Destinations
Mediterranean summers cover the Riviera, the Balearics, the Adriatic and the Greek islands from Nice, Barcelona, Rome, Venice and Athens.
Winter deployment splits between the Caribbean from San Juan and Fort Lauderdale and a growing Central America and Costa Rica programme, with transatlantic repositioning voyages in spring and autumn.
