If you’re the kind of person who enjoys a couples’ massage, there’s an outdoor space with two beds, shaded from the sun by gauzy curtains. The 12 Loft Suites on the Ritz-Carlton Yacht are gorgeous, like covetable duplex apartments, with the sleeping area downstairs and the relaxing, dining and balcony space upstairs.Ĭontinuing upwards, the spa and exercise space occupy Deck 9, with some thoughtful inclusions. Colour schemes are soothing and muted, in taupe, cream, emerald and teal, with abundant use of texture. The 90 Terrace Suites have a real hotel room feel, with oodles of space and big bottles of Diptyque goodies in the bathrooms. The accommodation is laid out between Deck 5 and Deck 8, with six categories from entry-level Terrace Suites to the two Owner’s Suites. This leads to the airy Living Room lounge and the main restaurant, the Evrima Room, all exuding quiet elegance, tasteful objets d’art and soothing neutrals. Inside, there’s a luxurious sense of space as you step into the very discreet reception. The ship really does look like a megayacht. The first impression of Evrima is one of sleek lines with a dark hull, raked bow and white superstructure. Collectors of Marriott’s Bonvoy Points can even earn and redeem their loyalty rewards on board. Instead, Evrima’s guests are yachting-curious regulars from Ritz-Carlton and the other upscale brands of the Marriott portfolio. Except that this tiny slice of Ritz-Carlton at sea moves, exploring the yachtie ports of the Caribbean in winter and the most desirable corners of the Mediterranean in summer.ĭon’t expect to find converts from Silversea and Seabourn on board, either. Possibly with kids, or travelling with older parents as part of a multigenerational group. These are well-heeled, well-travelled Gen Xers and millennials. Although it’s still early days, the formula seems to be working.Įvrima is aimed at the kind of guest who might stay in a Ritz-Carlton resort.


The company’s mission is “to blend the lifestyle of the Ritz-Carlton resorts with the casual freedom of a yachting vacation”. The 298-passenger Evrima launched in November 2022 after what seemed like endless pandemic and supply chain-related delays. The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection’s first seagoing venture is most definitely a yacht. Whatever you do, don’t call Evrima a cruise ship.
