Discover the new Ritz-Carlton Yacht Ilma
Experience the epitome of luxury at sea aboard the Ilma, Ritz-Carlton’s latest yacht offering bespoke elegance and unforgettable journeys.
The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection introduces its second masterpiece, Ilma, a floating sanctuary of refined elegance and bespoke experiences. Launched in September 2024, Ilma represents a pinnacle of sophistication, blending the legendary service of Ritz-Carlton with the serene freedom of yachting. At 241 meters long and housing 224 spacious suites, Ilma is meticulously designed for discerning travelers seeking exclusivity and indulgence. From Monte Carlo to Rome and beyond, its Mediterranean voyages promise an unparalleled blend of luxury and adventure.
Unlike traditional cruise ships, Ilma redefines maritime luxury. Its sleek black hull, contrasting white balconies, and polished teak decks are a striking prelude to the grandeur that lies within. Thanks to the renowned London design studio AD Associates, every detail reflects an artful synergy of comfort and style. The interiors, inspired by the island of Malta, feature noble materials, muted tones, and seamless layouts, offering an ambiance of serene sophistication.
Immersive Comfort – Suites Beyond Compare
Each of Ilma’s 224 suites is an embodiment of luxurious living, with sizes reaching up to 100 square meters. Expansive terraces, floor-to-ceiling windows, and bespoke furnishings invite guests to bask in the beauty of their surroundings. These sanctuaries are designed for seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces, creating a harmonious connection with the sea.
In every suite, indulgence is elevated to an art form. From custom bedding to expansive wardrobes, every detail caters to the UHNWI’s refined tastes. Personalized butler services ensure that every whim is anticipated, while state-of-the-art technology complements the timeless elegance of the design. With a commitment to privacy and exclusivity, Ilma’s suites redefine the concept of a home away from home.
World-Class Amenities Tailored to Perfection
Ilma is a haven of curated experiences. The Beach House, with its Latin-inspired cuisine and infinity pool, provides a laid-back yet sophisticated dining option. For wellness enthusiasts, the Ritz-Carlton Spa® offers treatments in 11 private rooms, blending modern therapies with breathtaking ocean views. Adjacent sauna and steam facilities ensure complete rejuvenation.
The ship’s fitness studio is equally impressive, featuring holistic health amenities, from a cycle studio to restorative yoga spaces. Meanwhile, the Marina Terrace allows guests to transition effortlessly from lounging by the water to kayaking or paddleboarding in the azure seas.
Evenings on Ilma unfold in elegant lounges with live jazz or classical performances, while bespoke cigar and cognac pairings await in The Humidor. Families are also well-catered for, with Ritz Kids® offering immersive educational adventures for younger travelers.
Destinations of Distinction
Ilma’s itineraries are as refined as their design, covering iconic destinations across the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, and Northern Europe. The 2024 inaugural voyage sets sail from Monte Carlo to Rome, offering guests an intimate glimpse of Europe’s most glamorous locales. Future routes will include the Baltic’s storied harbors and the rugged beauty of the Norwegian fjords. Each journey is enriched by carefully curated shore excursions, granting insider access to cultural landmarks and hidden gems alike.
Looking ahead, The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection plans to expand its fleet in 2025 with the eco-conscious Luminara, further cementing its status as a trailblazer in ultra-luxury yachting.
