The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection Unveils European Voyages for Summer 2028

It's hard to miss the Ritz-Carlton Collection right now. It seems to be everywhere on my Instagram feed: sleek yachts, glamorous ports and that unmistakable Ritz-Carlton luxury. But beyond the images, it is really about something else: an entirely different way to experience Europe. Think intimate sailing, exceptional service, luxurious rooms and fine dining- that luxurious yacht life.

The Ritz-Carlton Collection was designed to explore the world’s most celebrated cities and island hideaways in effortless luxury. Our intimate yachts provide the perfect setting to relax and reconnect in an atmosphere of casual elegance. The sleek lines of their exteriors come together with fluid grace, embodying the freedom and ease of the yachting lifestyle. Each suite is a spacious, light-filled haven featuring a private ocean-view terrace, and every yacht includes an innovative marina with direct access to the sea for water sports. With lavish amenities, world-class dining, and the legendary service of The Ritz-Carlton, our yachts offer unparalleled expressions of travel's transformative power.

The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection has announced its Summer 2028 European itineraries, featuring 52 voyages aboard the Evrima and Ilma across the Mediterranean and Northern Europe.

Sailing from late April through October 2028, the season features the fishing villages of the Italian Riviera and the islands of the Aegean, as well as Norway’s fjords and Iceland’s volcanic scenery.

Ernesto Fara, president and CEO of The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, said: “Our Summer 2028 season brings together itineraries that encourage guests to spend more time engaging with each place in a way that feels personal and authentic. We believe those connections are what transform a voyage into an experience that stays with them long after they return home.”

The company said in a press release that two new ports of call, Gijón, Spain and Portovenere, Italy, are included in the season.

Voyages range from four to nine nights and include roundtrip departures from Rome, Monte Carlo, Athens, Venice and Reykjavík.
