From Nordic fjords and Alaskan wilderness to Caribbean hideaways, The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection redefines luxury at sea through a lens of wellness, lifestyle, and deeply immersive travel. Across its trio of yachts – Evrima, Ilma and Luminara – days unfold at a gentle rhythm shaped by ocean-view spa rituals, elevated dining, and the unspoken ease of intuitive personalized service.
Evrima initially set the tone, fusing superyacht scale and curated wellness with the allure of immersive itineraries through some of the world’s most coveted destinations. Two additional yachts followed – Ilma and Luminara – both featuring exteriors by Aivan, the Finnish studio founded by Jarkko Jämsén, best known for designing the superyacht Pi. Jämsén’s owner-centric approach to design allows The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection to achieve the highest space ratios at sea, creating an ambience that feels more akin to a private residence.
That sense of residential luxury extends throughout the three yachts, with guest suites that all feature ocean-facing terraces and sweeping views designed to effortlessly transition from private retreat into a haven for entertaining. Select suites offer nearly as much outdoor as indoor living space, complete with whirlpools and outdoor showers.
Each individual guest experience is thoughtfully personalized, with anticipatory service and a high staff-to-guest ratio of nearly 1:1, including a dedicated Experience Ambassador to arrange pre-sailing details, and a Suite Ambassador to act as your personal onboard concierge, fine-tuning everything from dinner and spa reservations to special requests.
The relaxed and casually refined atmospheres of each yacht are infused with The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection’s all-inclusive lifestyle offering, which embraces a range of onboard amenities. Early risers can slide into the infinity pool for a morning swim before heading to the coastal-inspired spa for a steam and sauna, or have a trim and shave at the Gentleman's Grooming Salon.
Even the most ambitious itineraries are delivered at a relaxed pace designed to foster genuine connections at sea. Equally noteworthy is the intimate size of the vessels, ranging between 624 and 790 ft, allowing them to tie up dockside or anchor in smaller ports for a deeper, adventure permitting pace, with voyages often featuring late stays or overnights at destinations.

For most, the chance to explore is finely balanced by the desire to return to the yacht to taste what the day delivers in the world-class cuisine of the onboard restaurants. Starring among Evrima’s five restaurants, six bars and wine cellar is specialty dining restaurant S.E.A., by Chef Sven Elverfeld of Aqua, the three-Michelin-starred restaurant formerly at The Ritz-Carlton, Wolfsburg, where menus draw inspiration from the sea. Aboard Ilma and Luminara, Michelin-starred Chef Fabio Trabocchi presents his contemporary interpretation of Italian coastal cuisine at Seta Su Ilma and Seta Su Luminara, with James Beard-award-winning Chef Michael Mina also designing the menus for Beach House. The culinary program is further enriched by restaurants celebrating the flavors of regions visited, alongside refined Asian-inspired restaurants.
Whatever your passion, the yachts shape experiences at sea that are truly unlike the rest. Sail by brightly hued villages nestled within Iceland’s majestic fjords, glide on glassy waters under Alaska’s midnight sun, and drop anchor amid lush rainforests and volcanic landscapes in Caribbean harbors with the seamless luxury and personalized service of the yachting lifestyle, as crafted by The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection.
