Ritz-Carlton’s highly-anticipated superyacht cruise has finally made its debut, three and a half years after its originally scheduled maiden voyage.
Evrima, the first of three custom-built yachts from the renowned Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, began its seven-night cruise from Barcelona, Spain to Nice, France on October 15.
The 190-meter vessel, accommodating 298 passengers, features 149 suites with private terraces, floor-to-ceiling windows, an infinity pool, a wine vault, a Ritz-Carlton Spa, a nightclub, and its very own “marina.”
Rates for a one-week stay start at $6,400 per person for Mediterranean voyages and $5,100 per person for Caribbean voyages. Accommodation options range from standard cabins to two-story “loft-style” apartments and a sprawling 1,091-square-foot “owner’s suite” with a private hot tub.
Those who choose these luxury cruises can expect “service at a gold standard,” with one of the highest staff and space to guest ratios at sea. Fine dining experiences, complimentary water sports, and on-board entertainment are also provided.
There is a dedicated on-board children’s facility with a program for kids aged four to 12.
Evrima, meaning “discovery” in Greek, will sail to various destinations in the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Central America, and South America, with most cruises lasting from seven to 10 nights.
The luxury yacht will be followed by two others, Ilma and Luminara, currently under construction at Chantiers de l’Atlantique shipyard in Saint-Nazaire, France.
Ritz-Carlton announced plans to venture into the luxury yachting world in 2017, describing it as “a hybrid between luxury cruising and yachting.”
