The Ritz-Carlton is taking to the sea with the launch of The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection. Evrima, the first of three lavish, custom-built yachts from the hotel group, has just set sail on its maiden voyage from Barcelona to Nice.

The Ritz-Carlton brand of yacht is all about bringing the legendary hotel experience to the sea. So, it’s a given that the rooms are going to be swoon-worthy. 

The luxurious 190-metre yacht can accommodate 298 guests, with ample space to spare. The 149 suites are sprawling. Each has its own private terrace and floor-to-ceiling windows, to ensure your room has the best views on offer. For those travelling in larger groups, there’s a selection of innovative two-story loft suites, a unique duplex accommodation that will fit the family comfortably.

Evrima also offers all the amenities that you’d expect from a Ritz-Carlton hotel. Guests can indulge in a curated menu of opulent ESPA and 111SKIN spa treatments, a sauna and steam room, infinity pool and fitness studio, just to name a few. 

When it comes to on-board dining, The Evrima Room will plate up locally-inspired creations, while Southeast Asian Cuisine and a sushi bar is on offer at Talaat Nam. If you’re looking for an elevated dining experience, S.E.A offers a dining experience designed by three-Michelin-starred chef, Sven Elverfeld.

Depending on the season, Evrima will sail the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Central America and South America, stopping at both intimate and signature ports of call. Most voyages will range from seven to 10 nights with no two itineraries alike, so you’ll never repeat a journey.
