In Europe, Ritz-Carlton's first Mediterranean voyage was planned as 8-day roundtrip from Lisbon to Gibraltar, Valencia, Malaga, Ibiza, Palma de Mallorca. With it, the yacht had to start an inaugural Mediterranean season extending through July (2020). For July 5th was scheduled a 9-day itinerary (Bordeaux to London UK) visiting the French ports Belle-Ile, St Malo, Honfleur and also St Peter Port (Guernsey, Channel Islands).
The Pool House
In August 2019, the shipbuilder (Astilleros Barreras) demanded an additional EUR 50 million (USD 55 million) to finish the first Ritz-Carlton superyacht. It also includes sensors producing real-time data that can be tracked from land-based facilities operated by both ABB Operations Centers and the customer. The Azipod thruster is approx 10% more fuel-efficient in comparison to shaft line propulsion systems. This results in a significant reduction of the vessel's operating costs and emissions. The lack of traditional rudders also allows the hull's hydrodynamics to be optimized. In spring and summer 2022, MS Evrima was to be deployed in the Western Caribbean and Bahamas, Bermuda and Mediterranean (including Holy Land / Israel and Cyprus).

In June 2023, Ritz-Carlton signed a partnership deal with Allianz (1890-founded, Munich Germany-based insurance and asset management company). By this deal, The Ritz-Carlton's cruise passengers are provided with Allianz Travel Insurance (via local Allianz Partners) that covers all expenses and also provides support in unexpected events prior or during the voyage. Such cases include cruise cancellations or interruptions, land and air travel delays, missed connections. The deal was signed by Jim Murren (Ritz-Carlton) and Tom Trotta (Allianz Partners USA's VP of Sales). The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection's fleet will expand to three with the launch of Ritz-Carlton Luminara in 2025. The luxury hotel brand, which is a subsidiary of Marriott, moved into the cruise sector with the launch of its first 298-passenger "superyacht" Evrima in 2022.
Itineraries
The Owner’s is the largest suite available measuring 1,019 square feet with a 635 square foot terrace. This large suite has 2 full bathrooms, separate living and dining areas, a walk-in closet, a sleeper sofa, and a private whirlpool on the terrace. The mega-yacht has an aft marina platform for watersports, providing direct access to the sea.
SES Networks' maritime package combines the low latency of O3b MEO satellites ("medium earth orbit") with the coverage of geostationary SES satellites. In November 2017, Ritz-Carlton signed an agreement with Rescompany Systems for the implementation of Central Reservations Solution. Its modules provide custom booking solutions for package deals - cruise, tour, hotel, air. The Ritz-Carlton "cruise line rival" is another (ultra-luxury hospitality company-owned) subsidiary and brand - Four Seasons Yachts (debuting in 2025-Q4).

The main Evrima Room restaurant is on the same deck at the stern, though other dining venues are scattered across different decks, as are outdoor spaces with the sheltered Marina Terrace on Deck 3 where Evrima’s marina is housed. Ritz-Carlton's The Shore Collection (land tours and excursions) program offers customized services provided by dedicated cruise ship staff (Concierge Ashore) working with local certified tour guides and other specializing in tourism and travel professionals. Room options range from the entry-level Terrace Suites to the 1,000-square-foot Owner’s Suite, with a private whirlpool.
Ritz-Carlton delays Evrima cruise ship's maiden voyage for the 8th time
Themed voyages in 2022 included Christmas Cruise (Dec 25 in Roseau Dominica), New Years Eve Cruise (Dec 31 in Saint Barthelemy Island), Casablanca overnight (tour to Marrakesh Morocco), Monaco Grand Prix 2022 (Circuit de Monaco). Staterooms include 27x Signature Suites, 18x Grand Suites, 12x Loft Suites (2-deck accommodations), 90x Terrace Suites. Terrace Suites are connecting cabins (with a soundproof blind wall in between) easily combined to reduce the cabins number from 149 to 107 (when the mega-yacht is privately chartered). The latest cancellations were due to the ongoing pandemic - safety concerns, international travel restrictions and uncertainties (countries' lockdowns and port closures).
Deck-top attractions
While you won't find a veritable shopping mall aboard Evrima in the style of Royal Caribbean's Royal Promenade, you will find The Boutique on Deck 4. The line promises leading luxury labels and artwork from local craftspeople. As twilight descends, passengers seek out The Observation Lounge on Deck 10. With incredible sea views, it's the place to get to know your fellow passengers over a drink at sunset followed by late-night dancing. According to Ritz-Carlton, this person "is your single onboard touchpoint to ensure a flawless, seamless journey from beginning to end."
The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection
There are all sorts of online travel agents and discounters from which to choose. If you don't use a travel agent, you can book directly through The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection. Just give them a call or shoot them an email, and they will match you with an internal cruise adviser. Even if you don't plan to get in the water, The Marina is an ideal spot to spend a sunny day. In addition to the exercise equipment, you can also sign up for personal training sessions (30 minutes starting at $75), private yoga sessions (an hour starts at $100) and fitness consultations (starting at $275).
Rising 10 decks high and with capacity for nearly 300 passengers, Evrima is notably bigger than the vessels operated by these other brands, though it still has a yachtlike shape. Additionally, Marriott Bonvoy members can earn Elite Night Credits through The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection to earn higher Marriott Bonvoy status. A member can earn 1 elite night for each night spent on a yacht plus any nights at participating Marriott hotels booked through The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection as part of a package. The Concierge Ashore program allows guests to choose from private, predesigned trips or assists in creating a bespoke itinerary with the assistance of a personal concierge. This program also allows guests to choose a private version of any of the available Shore Collection trips. The ship’s infinity pool is surrounded by a spacious sun deck with loungers and water misters.
Guests tend to be younger than average for ocean cruising, normally in their 50s, with around half having never cruised before and 40 per cent already familiar with the Ritz-Carlton brand. Mistral is a lovely open-air eaterie on Deck 8 that buzzes with atmosphere complemented by all-encompassing views where diners can enjoy seafood and steaks, while Talaat Nam, which means floating market in Thai, serves Asian cuisine. The ship's first Master was Captain Steven MacBeath (previously employed by HAL-Holland America Line) who also commanded Evrima during the sea trials (conducted in June 7-9, 2022) in Cantabrian Sea/Biscay Bay. The latest cancellations affected the entire Europe-Mediterranean (2020) and Caribbean (2021) seasons - or a total of 96 voyages.
Ninety cabins in this category are 300 square feet with a 67-square-foot balcony. Two Terrace Suites are ADA-compliant (adhering to standards set forth by the Americans with Disabilities Act). Way back in 2017, executives at The Ritz-Carlton announced the development of a line of brand-new yachts that would supposedly change the face of luxury cruising — at least for Marriott loyalists and anyone that prefers a small-ship experience. "ABB Ability" is a remote diagnostic system using Microsoft Azure (cloud computing).
