Aboard the ultra-luxurious yachts Evrima and Ilma, guests will journey through 21 countries and 30 exquisite ports, including secluded coves, yachting havens, and vibrant island communities. Running from November 2025 to April 2026, this collection of 32 cruises redefines tropical travel with tailored experiences that reflect the distinctive sophistication of the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection.
Where Next-Level Luxury Sets Sail: Season 2025–26 on Ritz-Carlton Yachts
The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection is inviting travelers to experience its refined 2025–2026 winter Caribbean season, featuring a series of newly unveiled voyages that combine luxury, discovery, and cultural immersion.
Each itinerary is a carefully composed experience at sea, with most voyages ranging between five and eight nights. A selection of shorter escapes—lasting three or four nights—provides the perfect opportunity for a spontaneous tropical retreat.
Whether it’s the allure of Gustavia in St. Barts, the calm charm of Virgin Gorda, or the natural beauty of Soufrière in St. Lucia, each destination offers a fresh perspective on the Caribbean lifestyle. New additions, like the picturesque port of St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands, further expand the reach of this exceptional yacht experience.
Yachts & hidden gems
Guests aboard Evrima and Ilma are welcomed into spacious, all-suite accommodations with private terraces designed to keep them connected to the sea. These floating sanctuaries merge comfort with elegance, complemented by open communal areas that encourage connection while maintaining a sense of exclusivity.
The onboard Marina allows for direct access to the water, enhancing the immersive island experience. Meanwhile, a refined culinary program, influenced by Michelin-star techniques, brings island flavors to life through artfully crafted meals and curated beverage pairings.
Beyond the comforts of the yacht, the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection presents immersive shore excursions that go well beyond the ordinary. Whether it’s savoring grilled lobster and saffron couscous at a beachfront BBQ in Canouan or joining a sushi masterclass in Barbuda after a scenic helicopter arrival, every detail is thoughtfully arranged. Private options abound—guests can charter sunset sails with a private chef, fly to Canouan for a round of golf, or dive among shipwrecks like the legendary RMS Rhone near Virgin Gorda.
Unforgettable getaways
Festive season travelers will find unforgettable ways to celebrate. Thanksgiving can be spent in Philipsburg, Christmas on the tranquil waters, and New Year’s Eve welcomed with the sparkle of the ocean as a backdrop. For a romantic escape, Valentine’s Day in St. Lucia or St. John offers a memorable retreat surrounded by natural beauty and world-class service.
Extending through spring 2026, these voyages also highlight the vibrant culture of the Caribbean—from the spice-scented air of Grenada to the colorful Dutch architecture of Willemstad in Curaçao. Each journey is a celebration of place, curated to deliver moments that feel both intimate and extraordinary.
