The Ritz-Carlton’s Journey into Luxury Yachting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 2017, the Ritz-Carlton announced its ambitious plan to venture into the luxury yachting world, promising a unique blend of luxury cruising and yachting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first venture was the Evrima<\/strong>, a custom-built yacht that set sail in 2023. The Evrima, with its exquisite suites and world-class amenities, has already made waves in the industry, setting a high bar for luxury sea travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, the Ritz-Carlton<\/a> is ready to raise the bar even higher with the launch of its second superyacht, the Ilma. A third yacht, the Luminara, is already on the horizon, set to launch in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n

The Ilma Superyacht: A New Era of Luxury Sea Travel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Ilma<\/strong>, named after the Maltese word for water, is a testament to the Ritz-Carlton’s commitment to redefining luxury sea travel. The Ilma is designed to carry up to 456 guests in its 228 suites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The design of the Ilma is a collaborative effort by London-based firm AD Associates<\/a>, lighting designer DPA, and Finnish yacht studio Aivan. Together, they have created a yacht that is not just a mode of travel but a destination in itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Inaugural Voyage of the Ilma Superyacht<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Ilma is set to make its inaugural voyage in September 2024, offering guests a seven-night journey from Athens to Haifa, Israel<\/strong>. This voyage promises to be an unforgettable experience, combining the luxury of the Ilma with the rich history and stunning landscapes of the Mediterranean.<\/p>\n\n\n
