Sailing on the Ritz-Carlton Evrima was the perfect blend of luxury, adventure and complete relaxation.

This past January, I had the opportunity to experience the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection aboard Evrima, and it was truly one of the most luxurious and relaxing vacations I've ever taken. If you're dreaming of an intimate, upscale cruising experience that blends the elegance of a luxury hotel with the adventure of a private yacht, Evrima is an exceptional choice.
The yacht experience
Seamless check-in
Evrima is nothing like a traditional cruise ship. With only 149 suites and a maximum of 298 guests, the atmosphere is refined, serene and incredibly personalized. The crew-to-guest ratio ensures outstanding service — from the welcome champagne on arrival to the seamless embarkation and disembarkation at each port. Every detail is taken care of, and you feel pampered without ever feeling crowded.
The design is sleek and modern, with spacious suites featuring private terraces, luxurious bathrooms and thoughtful touches like walk-in closets, high-end linens and complimentary minibars. Public spaces are elegant yet relaxed, with plenty of nooks for quiet reading or a glass of wine with a view.
An Evrima suite feels like a luxury hotel room at sea, complete with sleek design, thoughtful touches and your own private terrace just steps away.

Dining and cuisine
The culinary program onboard is outstanding. Evrima offers a range of dining venues, from the fine-dining Evrima Room to Mistral for Mediterranean-inspired meals al fresco. The food is fresh, beautifully presented and constantly evolving based on the ports of call. For an elevated culinary experience, guests can reserve a Michelin chef-designed tasting menu paired with wines in the signature dining venue, S.E.A., which offers a truly unforgettable evening.
Evrima’s coffee shop is a hidden gem on board, offering artisan espresso, fresh pastries and gourmet snacks all day long in a chic, marble-clad space that feels more like a European café than a cruise ship.
Ports and itinerary
Our sailing explored several stunning Caribbean destinations, with highlights including the white-sand beaches of St. Barths and the culture and charm of San Juan. Due to high tides and rough seas, our Virgin Gorda stop had to be canceled at the last minute. However, the crew responded swiftly, moving us into a sheltered cove and opening the onboard marina, where we could swim in the ocean and enjoy paddleboarding, kayaking and other water activities.
One of Evrima’s most unique features — the onboard marina. This floating playground invites guests to swim, paddleboard or simply lounge by the sea.
Why I recommend it
For travelers who love the idea of cruising but want a more elevated, boutique experience, the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection offers something truly special. It’s ideal for couples, groups of friends or anyone looking for five-star service with the flexibility and excitement of travel by sea.
Whether you're celebrating a milestone or simply want to escape to warm breezes and turquoise waters in the winter, I can’t recommend Evrima enough. As a travel advisor, I also have access to exclusive perks when booking through Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, including potential onboard credits and pre-/post-cruise enhancements.
Need to know
Travelers should know that the Ritz-Carlton Evrima offers a more relaxed and luxurious pace than traditional cruises — think no crowds, open dining times and plenty of space to unwind. While the dress code is resort casual, pack a few elevated outfits for special evenings like the Michelin chef tasting experience. Excursions can be booked in advance, but there’s also plenty to enjoy onboard, from the marina deck to the serene spa. And if weather causes an itinerary change, the crew handles it seamlessly — you're always in good hands.
