Swedish design company Tillberg Design that is working in collaboration with Ritz-Carlton’s in-house team on their first ‘superyacht’, has released new renderings of her interior. The first vessel of the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection will carry the name Evrima, which originates from the Greek islands and means ‘Discovery’.
Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection says they believe the name will ‘inspire travellers to immerse themselves in exceptional experiences, explore new destinations and foster the spirit of adventure’.
In 2018, The Ritz-Carlton Hotel first announced itineraries and shore excursions for its Luxury Yacht Collection. Three luxury cruising yachts are scheduled to sail in 2020. Initially named Azora, the first vessel saw its keel laying ceremony in January 2018.
In its inaugural season, The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection will offer 40 different voyages, most ranging from 7 to 10 nights. Number of experiences will be available, such as visiting a renowned winery in Bordeaux, France, learning how baby oysters are grown in a private farm in Sete, France or even meeting with a spiritual shaman in the Grenadines.
The shore excursions will be grouped into five categories: Iconic Sights (art and culture); Stirring the Senses (wellness); Cultural Connections (wild life); Active Explorations; and Epicurean Experiences. The trips “illustrate our commitment to providing rare opportunities to today’s luxury traveler,” said Lisa Holladay, global brand leader for The Ritz-Carlton, in a statement.
The uniquely designed yachts will measure 190 metres, with 149 suites accommodating up to 298 passengers. Each stateroom has its own private terrace. The yachts will also feature two 158-square-metre penthouses, each with its own private whirlpool. Prices have not yet been released.
The 190-metre vessel will be ready for delivery in June 2020. The first cruise with Evrima will embark several destinations from Barcelona to Palma De Mallorca with a number of stops in the Balearic Islands. Ritz-Carlton has started reservations from its loyalty members and those of its parent company Marriott International.
