Small cruise fans can now book their berth on the hotly-anticipated first vessel of the Ritz Carlton Yacht Collection.
Set to launch in February 2020, the collection’s vessels are modelled on contemporary superyachts and will offer a wide range of initial itineraries, each of which delves into the local culture at each port.
The first of three 149-suite vessels planned, The Ritz-Carlton Yacht, will travel to both conventional and emerging destinations, including the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, the Caribbean, Latin America, Canada, and the Northeastern United States, with voyages ranging from seven to ten nights designed to include world-class events and festivals, from the Monaco Grand Prix to the Edinburgh Military Tattoo.
Created by The Ritz-Carlton and maritime expert Douglas Prothero, the first of three lavish cruising yachts in this series will have a distinctive personality and is sure to be a true stand out in the most glamorous ports around the world. The specially designed small capacity vessel will measure 190-meters, accommodate up to 298 passengers, and feature 149 suites, each with its own private terrace. The yacht will also feature two 159 square-meter lavish penthouse suites, with modern craftsmanship and interior finishes jointly designed by The Ritz-Carlton and leading cruise ship design firm, Tillberg Design of Sweden.
Additionally, the yacht will offer one-of-a-kind curated destination journeys through collaborations with local chefs, musicians and artists, allowing guests to experience the locations
in unique and experiential ways, both onboard and ashore.
