Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection debuts second newbuild superyacht

The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection has added a second newbuild luxury superyacht to its fleet.

Ilma sailed a seven-night maiden voyage from Monte Carlo to Rome on September 2.

Its inaugural season in the Mediterranean will include Santorini, Porto Cervo and Valletta as ports of call, before moving to the Caribbean and making stops in Virgin Gorda, Gustavia and St John.

For the first time, the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection will include itineraries in the North and Baltic seas with itineraries around Amsterdam, Stockholm and Reykjavik.

The 790-foot-long ship features 224 suites with private terraces, all with direct access to the sea.

There are also five dining venues, including two headed up by Michelin-starred chefs, seven bars, a wine vault and a “refreshed” in-suite dining programme.

Jim Murren, executive chairman and chief executive of The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, said: “It is with immense pride and excitement that we welcome Ilma to our growing fleet.

“Since Evrima’s debut, we have been steadfast in our pursuit of excellence at sea. The addition of Ilma signifies a continuation of our mission to deliver legendary service and unparalleled enjoyment to our guests.”
