Ultra-Luxury

The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection

The first cruise line to earn a Forbes Five-Star rating. Michelin-caliber dining on intimate yachts of 298 to 452 guests.

Ritz-Carlton, Untethered

Take the service standard that defines the world’s most recognized luxury hotel brand and put it on the water. That’s the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection — not a cruise line pretending to be a hotel, but a hotel brand that decided the ocean was the next frontier. The Forbes Five-Star rating they earned isn’t ceremonial. It reflects a level of luxury ocean cruising that’s genuinely in a class of its own.

Three Yachts, One Standard

Evrima carries 298 guests in 149 suites, each starting around 300 square feet with private terraces. Ilma, launched in 2024, scales up to 448 guests across 224 suites with the highest passenger-space ratio in the industry at 104:1. Luminara, her sister ship, joined the fleet in 2025 with similar dimensions and an equally impressive sense of space. All three feature the Marina — a stern platform that drops open for complimentary water sports, from jet skiing to snorkeling.

Dining Without Reservation

The culinary program draws from Michelin-star talent and doesn’t require you to book a table — every restaurant is open-seating, all-inclusive. S.E.A., the signature restaurant, serves globally inspired cuisine with a focus on sustainability. It’s the Ritz-Carlton philosophy applied to dining at sea: no surcharges, no rush, no compromises.

Destinations & Experiences

The fleet sails the Mediterranean, Caribbean, and Northern Europe, with itineraries designed around small-ship access to ports that mega-ships skip entirely. For culinary journeys, the onboard program is complemented by shore-side chef-led experiences in each destination.

Bonvoy at Sea

For Marriott loyalists, this is the obvious choice. Sailings earn Bonvoy points, elite night credits apply, and the brand’s service culture translates seamlessly from land to water. If you’re sitting on a pile of Bonvoy points, we can explore redemption options.

Why Book Through Travel Tamers

We’ll coordinate suite selection, Bonvoy benefit optimization, and any pre- or post-voyage hotel stays at Ritz-Carlton properties ashore. Our relationship with RCYC’s group and reservations teams means we can lock in preferred suites before they hit public inventory.
