Following a year-long delay , the first of the Ritz-Carlton ’ s luxury yacht collection , the Evrima , set sail last October , travelling from Barcelona to Nice .

This marked the legendary hotel brand ’ s first foray into luxury yachting and the first of many highly tailored getaways taking place in 2023 across the Med , Caribbean , Central and South America . Think highly curated 7 to 10-night itineraries , including to Spain ’ s Balearic Islands , coveted havens along the French Riviera , and the tropical coastline of Costa Rica ; and one of the highest staff and space ratios at sea .

The 298-passenger Evrima offers 149 suites , all with private terraces and floorto-ceiling windows , and delivers everything from Michelin-starred restaurant Aqua and water sports from the yacht ’ s marina to discussions led by renowned experts and intimate jazz performances .

The Concierge Ashore will help you customise your own unique experiences at each stop , from yoga on a private beach to zip-lining through a rainforest . Bliss .
