REQUEST VIP coordinates Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection reservations by operating yacht, dated voyage and named suite category. Evrima, Ilma and Luminara are all sailing, but they have different capacities and itineraries. We verify live inventory, the selected fare's inclusions and the contractual provider before connecting air, hotels or private shore plans.

Key Facts

  • Evrima entered service in October 2022 and publishes 149 suites, all with private terraces.
  • Ilma debuted in September 2024 and publishes 224 suites with private terraces.
  • Luminara began sailing in July 2025 and publishes 226 suites with private terraces.
  • The operator currently says all three yachts can be considered for full private charter; that is a separate contract from booking suites on a scheduled voyage.

Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection Luxury Cruise

Start with the departure rather than the brand alone. A proposal should name Evrima, Ilma or Luminara and show embarkation, disembarkation, duration, ports and sea days. REQUEST VIP checks terminal details, check-in cutoff and current itinerary, then uses the wider luxury cruise concierge to compare suitable yacht-style sailings.

The word yacht describes the scale and service positioning, but a suite reservation remains a scheduled cruise. The captain and operator control navigation, safety and port substitutions. Weather, congestion or local restrictions may alter a call. Guests wanting greater route control should separately compare private yacht charter rather than assume that reserving several suites creates exclusivity.

Evrima, Ilma or Luminara

The published suite counts matter: 149 on Evrima, 224 on Ilma and 226 on Luminara. REQUEST VIP keeps each ship's deck plan, restaurants and facilities separate. An image or description from one yacht is not proof of the same layout on another. Every accommodation should be checked by category, deck, terrace, bedroom separation, accessibility, connecting ability and registered occupancy.

All suites are promoted with a private terrace and a Suite Ambassador. That does not make every category identical. Families, multi-generational groups and travellers sensitive to motion need a precise configuration. Suite number, bedding, child policy, accessibility features and any obstructed aspect belong in the written confirmation rather than an informal message.

Included service and possible extras

Current operator information presents suite accommodation, multiple dining venues, premium beverages, gratuities, Starlink Wi-Fi, entertainment and Suite Ambassador service within the voyage fare. Marina watersports are available when the yacht is at anchor and local conditions and permission allow. Their operation is not guaranteed at every port.

Shore excursions, spa treatments, certain signature dining or beverage choices, medical services, transfers and independent suppliers may carry additional charges. REQUEST VIP requests the current inclusion and exclusion list for the exact fare. A hotel-style phrase such as all-inclusive is not a substitute for an itemised total.

Scheduled voyage or full private charter

On a scheduled voyage, guests book one or more suites and share the yacht, programme and public spaces. A full charter gives one client contractual use of the entire named yacht for an approved period. The charter offer must state guest limit, suite access, route authority, crew, food and beverage scope, port expenses, production rules, deposits and cancellation.

Private events, visitors, branding, entertainment and external vendors require prior maritime approval. The fact that all three yachts are presented as charter candidates does not establish availability for a chosen date. REQUEST VIP asks the operator for a specific written offer and does not advertise unconfirmed buyout access.

Complete journey, loyalty and terms

The decision-ready quote identifies yacht, voyage, suite, guests, currency, taxes, port charges, inclusions, extras and REQUEST VIP fee. Payment recipient, deposit, final balance, cancellation, name changes and itinerary clauses must be visible. Marriott Bonvoy earning or redemption should be checked for the exact booking and member; hotel elite upgrades or benefits are never assumed aboard.

The luxury travel service can build flexible port hotels, while private jet charter can support a complex open-jaw route after the voyage is firm. The luxury hotel concierge can arrange stays, but a Ritz-Carlton hotel policy does not set yacht terms. REQUEST VIP offers its service independently of The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company and Marriott International. None has endorsed, appointed or affiliated with us.

How It Works

  1. Send dates, region, guests, yacht or suite preference, mobility and working budget.
  2. REQUEST VIP verifies the live voyage or charter, exact accommodation, inclusions and supplier terms.
  3. Review the total, payment calendar, cancellation, port logistics and itinerary-change exposure.
  4. Confirm the yacht journey, then add compatible air, hotels, transfers and approved shore plans.
