The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection
Timeless Elegance at Sea: The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection
The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection brings the brand’s legendary refinement to the open ocean, redefining luxury travel through an intimate yachting experience. From Evrima to Ilma and Luminara, each yacht is thoughtfully designed as a floating retreat, where contemporary elegance, expansive private terraces, and impeccable service create a seamless sense of comfort and exclusivity.
Sailing to extraordinary destinations across the Mediterranean, Caribbean, and beyond, each voyage unfolds at a relaxed, unhurried pace. Days are shaped by discovery and indulgence — from world-class dining and serene moments on deck to exploring secluded ports inaccessible to larger ships. More than a journey, it is a refined passage where freedom, privacy, and The Ritz-Carlton’s signature hospitality meet the endless horizon.
Across the Pacific: From Canada’s Wild Edge to Japan
From Vancouver, where urban energy meets a dramatic natural setting, the journey moves north into the raw, untamed landscapes of Alaska. In Ketchikan and Sitka, the atmosphere is shaped by dense rainforest, island-dotted coastlines and a strong sense of cultural heritage, while Seward introduces a more expansive scenery of glaciers, fjords and open water. Further along, Dutch Harbor offers a remote and windswept character, where life feels closely tied to the sea and the vastness of the surrounding environment.
Crossing the Pacific brings a gradual shift in tone, leading into the refined yet approachable charm of Japan. Hakodate reflects a blend of cultures and a relaxed coastal rhythm, before the journey concludes in Yokohama, where a calm waterfront setting meets the energy of a major metropolitan gateway. Spanning continents, the experience flows from rugged wilderness to cultural depth, offering a seamless contrast between nature, history and modern life.
