Unveiling the Epitome of Luxury: The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection
If you're a fan of five-star comfort and the open sea, the Ritz-Carlton Yacht collection might be your new obsession. The Evrima, the first of three custom-built yachts, oozes elegance with its navy blue hull, spacious aft deck, and teak accents. With 149 guest suites and two-story lofts, the yacht feels like a luxury hotel at sea. It's operated by cruise-world veterans, which brings a unique fusion of hotel and cruise experiences that'll leave any traveler in awe. The best part? Ritz Carlton is the first to debut its yachts, while others like the Four Seasons and the Aman are planning to follow suit in the coming years.
If you're someone who's been on a traditional cruise before, you know how hectic it can feel at times. That's where the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection comes in, offering a much more intimate and luxurious experience that feels more like being on a private superyacht than a crowded cruise ship. At just 624 feet, the Evrima is small enough to anchor at smaller, more exclusive ports of call like St. Barts in the Caribbean or Mykonos and St. Tropez in the Mediterranean. And of course, since this is a Ritz-Carlton experience, you can expect nothing but the best from start to finish.
As you step onto the boat, you'll be greeted by the epitome of luxury. The interiors are nothing short of extraordinary, with a contemporary aesthetic that is sure to impress even the most discerning traveler. The Library is a massive room, filled with floor-to-ceiling shelves of books on art and design. It's the perfect place to sink into plush seating with a cocktail in hand after a long day of exploring ashore. The suites are equally impressive, with impeccable finishing touches and plenty of space to spread out and relax. The two-story suites are particularly noteworthy, offering a king bed and observation window on the lower level, and a spacious living and dining area on the upper level. And the highlight? Every room comes with its own personal concierge, ensuring that your stay is nothing short of perfect.
If you're looking to indulge in some top-notch culinary experiences while on vacation, then you'll definitely want to check out Evrima's dining options. With five different venues to choose from, there's something for every palate. Start your day off right with breakfast at the Pool Lounge, where you can enjoy your meal while taking in the stunning views from the fifth deck. For lunch, head over to Talaat Nam, an indoor-outdoor restaurant serving up amazing Southeast Asian fusion cuisine. Feeling like Mediterranean fare? Then you won't want to miss Mistral on deck eight. But the real standout dining experience has to be S.E.A. (Sven Elverfeld Afloat), which is modeled after Elverfeld’s Michelin three-starred restaurant at the Ritz-Carlton in Germany.
The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection and its flagship vessel, the Evrima, redefine the luxury cruise experience. With its intimate and exclusive setting, the yacht offers a personalized journey that feels more like being aboard a private superyacht than a crowded cruise ship. From the moment you step on board, you'll be immersed in a world of elegance and sophistication, surrounded by stunning interiors and impeccable attention to detail.
