Karl WP Beyer October 18, 2022 - More than five years ago, luxury hotel brand Ritz-Carlton broke plans to enter the cruise business with three super yachts. Little was heard of the project for a long time. Now the time has come: The Evrima, the first of three planned new buildings, is heading for Nice from Barcelona.
With unique itineraries and extraordinary experiences, the company intends to create "a new line of business in the industry". A noble claim that competitors positioned in the luxury segment have already successfully met. The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection offers stays in "unique and distinctive" locations. Most trips last between seven and ten nights. No two trips are the same. When guests combine cruises, they don't see the same destination twice. Depending on the season, the Evrima travels the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, Central and South America.

About the ship: The 190 meter long ship in yacht design was built at a shipyard in Vigo, Spain. It has 149 suites, including several two-story loft suites. With double occupancy and full occupancy, 298 guests can be accommodated on board the Evrima. All cabins have a private deck and floor-to-ceiling windows. It is possible to transform certain suites into larger rooms by using flexible walls. Three restaurants on board ensure luxury gastronomy. We also take care of wellness and fitness. Even water sports are offered from the aft "yacht port" of the ship. Rather unusual in this class: With “Ritz Kids”, children aged four to twelve are offered exciting and informative stays on board.

With "The Shore Collection" guests experience tours at their finest. Curator-led tours of world-class museums or visits to UNESCO World Heritage sites are promised, for example. Yoga on a private beach, high ropes course in the rainforest or truffle hunting and more are also on the program. Ship guests use the “Concierge Ashore” service to organize private excursions. The world is so beautiful when you book with the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection.
