The cruise fare on The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection is designed to be largely all-inclusive. Your suite accommodation, multiple dining venues, most beverages (including fine wines, spirits, and specialty coffees), gratuities, Wi-Fi, onboard activities and fitness facilities are included. Specialty treatments such as spa services, select premium wines or rare spirits, boutique shopping, and some private or bespoke shore experiences may carry additional charges. Overall, the experience is structured so that once you are onboard, you can relax without constantly signing for extras.

The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection currently operates three purpose-built yachts:

• Evrima — 149 suites • up to 298 guests • 624 ft / 190 m

• Ilma — 224 suites • up to 448 guests • 790 ft / 241 m

• Luminara — 226 suites • up to 452 guests • 790 ft / 241 m

• Signature Suite — 420 sq ft + 114 sq ft balcony

• Grand Suite — 560 sq ft + 95 sq ft balcony

• Loft Suite (Evrima only) — 611 sq ft + 75 sq ft balcony

* All suites on The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection are designed as one-bedroom suites. Some categories can accommodate additional guests (typically children) through alternative sleeping arrangements. Suite layouts and sizes also vary slightly by deck and position, and certain suites exist only on specific yachts. Booking with GIFT Voyages means you get expert guidance on these details — the best decks, layouts, and “sweet-spot” suites — so you choose with confidence, not guesswork.

This isn’t a cruise — it’s a club. The guests are interesting, well-traveled, and frankly, the sort of people you’re glad to be stuck at sea with. The food is excellent and largely included, so you can actually relax instead of chasing a bill. And the service? Classic Ritz-Carlton — discreet, intuitive, and always one step ahead of you.

Add in beautifully designed spaces, no crowds, no buffets, and no lines, and suddenly it feels less like a ship… and more like your own private yacht for the week.

The dress code is elegant but relaxed. During the day, yacht casual is perfectly appropriate — think polished resort wear, comfortable but refined. In the evenings, most guests lean toward yacht sophisticated: smart casual to chic attire such as dresses, tailored trousers, collared shirts, or light jackets. There are no formal “black-tie” nights; the atmosphere is stylish, not stuffy.

Each yacht offers a mix of refined main dining, casual al-fresco options, lounges, and a few standout specialty experiences — with the venue mix varying by ship.

Younger guests can enjoy Ritz Kids programming, which offers supervised, age-appropriate activities inspired by culture, cuisine, and the destinations visited. Private babysitting services are also available upon request for an additional charge.

Shore excursions are curated by The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection and can be booked directly through your guest portal, with popular experiences often selling out quickly. In addition, GIFT Voyages provides personalized recommendations based on your interests — whether that’s wine, culture, gastronomy, history, or nature. I’ll suggest the best options available, whether they are official Ritz-Carlton experiences or standout alternatives in each destination, and can also advise on logistics such as timing and transportation so you can enjoy each port with confidence and ease.
