Featuring unique itineraries and immersive experiences, The Ritz-Carlton Yachting Collection is carving out a niche in the industry while embodying the brand's forward-thinking approach to luxury hospitality. Calling at iconic and intimate ports, most cruises last seven to ten nights. No two voyages are exactly the same, so guests can combine itineraries without repeating the same destination. Depending on the season, Evrima calls at locations in the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, Central and South America. Destinations vary throughout your stay, from the Spanish Balearic Islands to the coveted paradise of the French Riviera, the turquoise waters of Aruba and the tropical coast of Costa Rica. The compact size of theEvrima also provides unique access to some of the most popular ports of call, offering yacht-style cruises to destinations such as Mykonos, St Tropez or St Barths.
“The Ritz-Carlton Yachting Collection is revolutionizing the luxury cruise industry, creating a truly unique category designed for those seeking unparalleled vacations, curated itineraries, privileged access and a level of personalization never before seen in the industry. We considered every element of the luxury yachting experience when designing and building theEvrima, and we are delighted to offer long-time passengers and newcomers discovering the activity, unforgettable trips,” commented Douglas Prothero, Managing Director of The Ritz-Carlton Yachting Collection.
The purpose-built yacht measures 190 meters in length and can accommodate up to 298 passengers. Reflecting the exceptional comfort and legendary service for which the Ritz-Carlton brand is renowned, the onboard experience features one of the highest people-to-space ratios at sea.
One of the many elements that sets the tone is the design of the yacht's 149 suites. Evrima offers not only a large number of large suites, but also several two-story loft suites. With private terraces and floor-to-ceiling windows, all rooms are among the airiest and most spacious at sea. Some suites also have the option of combining with more spacious, open spaces via a blank wall. All suites offer extensive luxury amenities expected by guests of The Ritz-Carlton properties.
