A New Chapter in Luxury Travel
“We are thrilled to introduce The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection and usher in an exciting new chapter for this beloved brand,” remarked Chris Gabaldon, Senior Vice President for Luxury Brands at Marriott International.

Unique Itineraries and Immersive Destinations
The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection distinguishes itself through unique itineraries and immersive experiences that provide travelers with a novel approach to exploration. Featuring journeys ranging from 7 to 10 nights, Evrima calls at both intimate and signature ports, ensuring that no two voyages are alike.

Throughout the season, Evrima sails the enchanting waters of the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Central America, and South America. Travelers can explore destinations such as Spain’s stunning Balearic Islands, the iconic French Riviera, the vibrant beaches of Aruba, and the lush coastlines of Costa Rica.
