Book The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection With Exclusive Perks
Inside the three-yacht fleet redefining luxury at sea, and the members-only benefits, onboard credit, and Marriott Bonvoy points that come with booking through Explore More.
Quick Answer
Every few weeks, a client asks some version of the same question: is there a way to see the world's most beautiful coastlines without ever checking into a hotel, unpacking a suitcase twice, or waiting in a buffet line? The answer, more often than not, is a yacht, and specifically, one flying The Ritz-Carlton flag. The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection was built for travelers who want the residential comfort of a Ritz-Carlton and the freedom of a private yacht, and as a cobranded Explore More partner, we're able to offer clients a set of perks that simply aren't available booking direct.
Embrace the Yachting Lifestyle
The three intimate yachts of The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection are purposefully designed to explore the world's celebrated cities and island hideaways. The sleek lines of the exteriors come together with fluid grace, evoking the relaxed freedom of the yachting lifestyle, while the interiors fuse the refined residential feel of The Ritz-Carlton ashore with the innovative design quality of the world's most stylish yachts. Guests can expect unparalleled personalized service, world-class specialty restaurants, and spacious suites, each with its own private terrace.
Private terraces, sun-soaked pool decks, and ocean views define
every yacht in the fleet.

Three Yachts, One Philosophy
Each yacht in the fleet has its own personality, but all three share the same DNA: intimate guest counts, private terraces on every suite, and a marina at the stern that puts kayaking and paddleboarding a few steps from your cabin. Guests also earn and redeem points, receive Elite Night Credit, and more with Marriott Bonvoy, no matter which yacht they choose.
Evrima
Evrima, the flagship of the fleet, at sea.
Just 298 guests sail aboard Evrima at a time, taking in the view from a private terrace while at anchor off a scenic shoreline. From the aft Marina, guests can explore by kayak or paddleboard before heading ashore. Five restaurants and six lounges offer an array of culinary delights, while legendary Ritz-Carlton service and amenities complete the onboard experience.
Ilma
Ilma, the first yacht in the world to earn a Forbes Five-Star rating.
With the highest ratio of space per guest at sea, Ilma features 224 airy, light-filled suites, all with private terraces. Five restaurants, six bars, and a wine vault offer culinary experiences to please every palate, and the yacht's aft Marina includes expansive spaces for alfresco dining or watersports straight off the swim platform.
Luminara
Luminara, the newest addition to the fleet.
A beacon of modern elegance inspired by light's allure, Luminara features 226 suites with private terraces and an unrivaled space ratio for guests at sea, while two new upper suite categories deliver 1,000 square feet of uplifting ambiance. Guests can savor moments in five restaurants, six bars, and a wine vault, make the sea their playground from the expanded marina, or unwind at The Ritz-Carlton Spa.
Every suite, on every yacht, opens onto its own private terrace.
Suite categories fill quickly on Evrima and Ilma sailings, and Luminara's newest upper suites are already generating early interest. If a destination or date has your attention, the earlier we look at availability together, the more suite categories we'll have to choose from.

An Exclusive Invitation: Sail From San Juan With Jen
One upcoming sailing is especially close to home. On Thursday, November 12, 2026, Evrima departs San Juan, Puerto Rico, on a 7-night voyage to Panama City, and Explore More founder Jen Campbell Boles has been named the Virtuoso Voyage host for the departure.
