The Ritz Carlton operates luxury cruises to various global destinations, including the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, and Central America. As part of the Marriott International Bonvoy program, booking a cruise with The Ritz Carlton Yacht Collection promises an extraordinary vacation aboard their opulent super yachts. These super yachts are essentially floating Ritz-Carlton hotels or a 5 star floating luxury hotel and cruise line.
Distinguishing themselves as a new player in the industry, The Ritz Carlton Yacht Collection boasts brand-new ships designed to accommodate a more intimate number of guests compared to the colossal super-liners. This intimate setting sets the stage for an upscale, high-end experience at sea. Currently, they operate two ships, the Evrima and Ilma, with the Luminara scheduled for its maiden voyage in 2024.
The allure of the Caribbean and the British Virgin Islands (BVI) as a destination is undeniable, providing an enticing incentive for guests to venture beyond the deck loungers and explore the rich offerings of the BVI.

After spending some time on the cruise ship and perhaps growing a bit weary of your signature suite, the observation lounge, or the pool house, the desire for a quiet escape becomes quite appealing. In such moments, the BVI offers a sanctuary of pristine white sand beaches, each with its unique charm.
For those yearning for solitude, several of these beaches are delightfully secluded, providing a peaceful haven where you can bask in the serenity of the open air, away from the crowds. If you're in search of a more vibrant atmosphere, other BVI beaches beckon with enticing beach bars, exhilarating water sports facilities, and tempting restaurants.
