The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection Cruise Line Jobs :

Company Name:
The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection

Parent Company:
The Ritz-Carlton (a Marriott International brand)
Operated independently by The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, LLC.

Headquarters:
Miami, Florida, USA


Overview:
The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection is a luxury cruise line extension of the world-renowned Ritz-Carlton hospitality brand. Launched to redefine luxury cruising, the collection offers an intimate, yacht-style experience designed for discerning travelers who seek the service and sophistication of The Ritz-Carlton, combined with the freedom and exclusivity of yachting.

This niche cruise line merges superyacht-level privacy with the elegant comforts of a floating Ritz-Carlton resort — creating a hybrid between private yacht charters and high-end ocean cruising.


Fleet:

  • Evrima (launched 2022) — 298 guests
  • Ilma (scheduled 2024) — 448 guests
  • Luminara (scheduled 2025) — 452 guests

Each yacht is designed with a residential, boutique-style aesthetic featuring modern suites, private terraces, and open, spacious public areas.


Destinations:

  • Mediterranean, Caribbean, Northern Europe, South America, and Transatlantic crossings.
  • Focus on exclusive small ports, off-the-beaten-path islands, and yachting harbors inaccessible to large cruise ships.

Core Offerings:

  • All-suite accommodations with private terraces
  • Personalized service with a high staff-to-guest ratio
  • Curated shore excursions blending local culture, adventure, and luxury experiences
  • Fine dining crafted by Michelin-starred chefs and global culinary collaborations
  • The Ritz-Carlton Spa at sea, offering bespoke wellness experiences
  • Luxury lifestyle programming including wine tastings, art tours, live music, and educational talks

Market Position:
The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection is positioned at the ultra-luxury end of the cruise market, appealing to affluent travelers, Ritz-Carlton loyalists, and those seeking the privacy and refinement of small-ship cruising without sacrificing resort-level amenities and service.

The line competes with elite brands like Seabourn, Silversea, and Ponant, but distinguishes itself with its hotel heritage and yachting ethos rather than traditional cruise line culture.


Target Audience:

  • Seasoned luxury travelers
  • Ritz-Carlton and Marriott Bonvoy loyal customers
  • High-net-worth individuals seeking intimate, exclusive voyages
  • Guests transitioning from private yachts or luxury resorts to small-ship cruising

Notable Features:

  • Marriott Bonvoy Program: Offers points earning and redemption for loyal Ritz-Carlton and Marriott customers.
  • Emphasis on casual luxury — no formal nights, refined resort-style attire encouraged.
  • Yachts are designed to feel like a private floating villa rather than a traditional cruise ship.
