The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection's Second Yacht Opens Reservations

The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection has announced that the inaugural 2024 Mediterranean season for Ilma, the second newbuild superyacht in its growing fleet, is now open for reservations. 

Ilma, which translates to “water” in Maltese, is slated to take to the seas in September 2024 with a seven-night inaugural voyage from Athens, Greece to Haifa, Israel. Voyages range from seven to 13 nights, visiting a range of destinations in the Greek Isles, along the Amalfi Coast, and amid iconic yachting playgrounds of the French Riviera and Balearic Islands. Guests will be transported to historic cities such as Rome and Florence (via Livorno), Italy, and Monte Carlo, Monaco, as well as exotic destinations like Tangier, Morocco and Funchal, Madeira, Portugal. Overnights include Alexandria, Egypt; Amalfi, Italy; and Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain, among other coveted destinations.

Ilma will measure 790 feet and offers 228 suites, each with its own private terrace. Accommodating up to 456 guests, Ilma will offer one of the highest space ratios at sea and a significant percentage of larger suites, with two new, spacious upper suite categories measuring more than 1,000 square feet in size. The superyacht will showcase craftsmanship and interior finishes by London-based architect and design firm AD Associates and lighting designer DPA. The exterior design of Ilma was developed by Finland-based yacht stylist, Aivan.

Having one of the highest staff-to-guest ratios in the luxury cruising category, Ilma will provide nearly one staff member for every guest. The new superyacht will also include five restaurants, six bars, a wine vault and signature spaces found on Evrima such as an expanded marina with a new mezzanine feature, a signature Ritz-Carlton Spa, and a special space for Ritz Kids programming.

Ilma is also available for private charter.
