Ritz-Carlton Hotels hit the Sea23 Jun. 2017

Traditional ocean liner cruising will never be the same anymore thanks to the new Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection. Three ultra-luxurious yachts are to be launched in 2019 which will take high-end cruising to the next level. With the cruising sector increasing each year Ritz-Carlton saw an opportunity in the luxury category. The ships will be able to accommodate just under 300 guests and they expect a high demand of such an experience in the future with the benefit of having an excellent reputation within luxury hospitality. Being onboard the Ritz-Carlton fleet should neither feel like a hotel nor a cruise ship, but be something completely new with the spacious and open-concept design spectrum. Passengers will be offered a lot in both the public and private spectrum, with a laid-back atmosphere with no classical and monochromatic all-inclusive tourism.

The fleet will be designed by the Swedish company Tillberg Design and the length is set to be 190 meters for all the ships with each costing around €180 million  to be built. These yachts will be inspired by other megayachts such as Azzam and Eclipse, but also the design concepts of Maserati Cars. All the classic yacht toys will be available to the guests as well as a glamorous pool, bars, lounges, day- and nightclubs.
The Ritz-Carlton yachts are set to cruise in the Mediterranean Sea, the Caribbean and New England, yet avoiding the bigger berths of the areas.
