The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection is looking ahead to summer 2028 with 52 voyages aboard Evrima and Ilma, exploring the Mediterranean and Northern Europe from late April through October.
The season moves between some of Europe’s most recognizable coastal destinations and quieter corners, from colorful villages along the Italian Riviera and the whitewashed islands of the Aegean to Norway’s dramatic fjords and Iceland’s volcanic landscapes. The itineraries are designed to give guests time to enjoy both sides of the journey, with relaxed days at sea and opportunities to spend more time discovering each destination ashore.
Two new ports of call — Gijón, Spain, and Portovenere, Italy — join the collection for Summer 2028. Guests can also expect more opportunities to explore the Greek Isles and Adriatic aboard Ilma.
Voyages range from four to nine nights, with roundtrip and one-way departures from Rome, Monte Carlo, Athens, Venice and Reykjavík.
Mediterranean and Northern Europe, Two Ways
In the Mediterranean, the journey unfolds through island villages, historic ports, local food traditions, and centuries of culture. Northern Europe offers a very different backdrop, with Evrima sailing through Norway’s UNESCO-listed fjords, the medieval cities of the Baltics, and Iceland’s volcanic terrain.
For guests, some of the highlights may happen before they even step ashore — from scenic sail-ins through Norway’s fjords to dramatic views of Iceland’s rugged coastline.
“The destinations our guests remember most are often the ones where they form the strongest connections, with the places they visit, the people they meet, and the moments they experience along the way,” said Ernesto Fara, President & Chief Executive Officer of The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection in a media statement.
That sense of connection continues through the collection’s Pre-Designed Private Excursions, Select Group Excursions and Custom Private Excursions. The experiences range from active adventures to intimate encounters with local food, history, and craftsmanship.
In the Mediterranean, guests can sail along the Portofino coastline to the secluded bay of San Fruttuoso, harvest oysters from a family-owned farm in Mali Ston Bay, see Mallorca from the air before a guided winery tasting, or explore the volcanic landscape of Milos by Jeep.
In Northern Europe, excursions include helicopter flights over Iceland’s waterfalls, lava fields, and glaciers, including a remote landing, as well as a private tasting focused on French caviar and Champagne at an eco-friendly estate in Bordeaux.
Gathering at Sea
The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection also offers a distinctive option for groups, charters, meetings and incentive programs, bringing the brand’s renowned service and luxury onboard a small-yacht setting.
The yachts can accommodate a range of experiences, from sales incentives and corporate meetings to customer appreciation events, celebrations, international sporting events and other special group occasions.
