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.
Into the Wild North: A Journey Through Alaska’s Untamed Coastline
Vast, untamed, and quietly powerful, this 10-night voyage reveals Alaska through a sequence of ever-changing landscapes and deeply rooted cultures. Departing from Vancouver, the journey gradually leaves behind urban edges for remote coastal passages, where each stop introduces a new perspective—from communities shaped by indigenous heritage and maritime traditions to secluded islands where life moves at a gentler pace. Along the way, forested shorelines, wildlife-rich waters, and historic settlements create a sense of place that feels both expansive and intimate.
As the voyage progresses, the scenery builds in scale and intensity, culminating in the dramatic presence of glacier-carved fjords, where ice, water, and towering cliffs define the horizon. Further along, rugged mountain backdrops and quiet coastal towns reflect the resilience and character of Alaska’s frontier spirit. Moments at sea offer space to pause between destinations, allowing the experience to unfold naturally. By the time the journey reaches Whittier, what remains is a lasting impression of a region shaped by nature in its purest form—raw, remote, and unforgettable.

11 Days 10 Nights Vancouver to Whittier - Itinerary
Set between ocean and mountains, Vancouver offers a dynamic starting point. Explore the cobbled streets and Victorian façades of Gastown, browse artisan markets at Granville Island, or step into the greenery of Stanley Park, where coastal trails and totem poles reflect the region’s heritage. For elevated views, Grouse Mountain and the Capilano Suspension Bridge provide a closer connection to the surrounding landscape.
Begin with a tranquil day at sea before arriving in Ketchikan, where coastal traditions and dramatic fjord landscapes set the tone. Continue to the quiet charm of Klawock and the cultural depth of Sitka, then encounter wildlife and local heritage at Icy Strait Point and Haines. Sail through the striking scenery of Endicott Arm Fjord, surrounded by towering cliffs and drifting ice, before a final day at sea leads to Valdez—then conclude in Whittier, your gateway to the glaciers and mountains of Prince William Sound.
-
The transition begins as the coastline fades into open water. A day at sea introduces the slower rhythm of the journey, with uninterrupted horizons and time to settle into the experience.
-
Ketchikan is deeply tied to both sea and tradition. Visit Creek Street, once a historic waterfront district, and explore Saxman Native Village or the Southeast Alaska Discovery Center to understand the region’s totem heritage. Beyond town, Misty Fjords National Monument reveals dramatic cliffs, waterfalls, and glacial valleys, while the surrounding waters offer fishing and wildlife encounters.
-
On Prince of Wales Island, Klawock presents a quieter, more intimate setting. Klawock Totem Park showcases one of the largest collections of standing totem poles, while the Dog Salmon Fish Pass provides a chance to observe bears and eagles in the wild. The surrounding rainforest, coastal waters, and Klawock Lake offer opportunities for kayaking, hiking, and whale watching.
-
Sitka’s identity is shaped by both Alaska Native and Russian influences. Walk through Sitka National Historical Park, where totem-lined trails meet coastal scenery, and visit landmarks such as St. Michael’s Cathedral and the Russian Bishop’s House. Beyond its history, Sitka Sound offers rich marine life, while nearby islands and forests invite exploration.
-
At Icy Strait Point, nature and culture intersect. Learn about Tlingit traditions in nearby Hoonah, explore the restored cannery along the waterfront, or venture into the surrounding wilderness. The waters of Point Adolphus are known for whale sightings, while inland areas offer chances to encounter brown bears and other wildlife.
-
Haines is defined by its expansive landscapes and rich ecosystems. The Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve is a key highlight, home to one of the largest concentrations of bald eagles. The Chilkoot Lake area offers turquoise waters and forested surroundings, while Lynn Canal—the deepest fjord in North America—provides a dramatic coastal backdrop.
-
The journey reaches a defining moment within Endicott Arm. This narrow fjord is lined with steep granite walls, cascading waterfalls, and floating ice, leading toward Dawes Glacier. The surrounding Tongass National Forest adds to the sense of scale, with wildlife often visible along the shoreline.
-
A final day at sea creates space to reflect, as the shifting scenery gives way once more to open water and a quieter pace.
-
Located along Prince William Sound, Valdez is framed by the Chugach Mountains and shaped by both history and nature. Visit the Valdez Museum to learn about its Gold Rush past and recovery after the 1964 earthquake, or explore natural sites such as Keystone Canyon, Worthington Glacier, and Columbia Glacier. The surrounding waters are equally striking, dotted with icebergs and wildlife.
