The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection has announced its European program for summer 2028, with 52 voyages aboard Evrima and Ilma covering the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, Norway and Iceland.
Two New Ports in Italy and Spain
The season will run from late April through October 2028, with voyages ranging from four to nine nights. Departures will be offered from Rome , Monte Carlo, Athens, Venice and Reykjavík, giving travelers several options for exploring Europe by sea.
The program also introduces two new ports for the yacht collection: Gijón in northern Spain and Portovenere on the Italian Riviera.
The itineraries are split between the two yachts, with Evrima focusing on a mixture of Mediterranean and Northern European routes, while Ilma will spend more time around the Greek Isles, Aegean and Adriatic.
Among Evrima's highlights is a seven-night voyage from Nice to Rome departing May 14, 2028. The itinerary includes Cannes, Portofino, Portovenere and Elba, combining well-known Mediterranean ports with the newly added Italian call.
Another standout itinerary departs London on July 12 for a nine-night voyage to Copenhagen. Guests will visit Haugesund, Geiranger and other destinations in Norway before continuing to Kristiansand, Aalborg and Copenhagen, with the route featuring some of the country's fjord scenery.
Evrima will also sail in Northern Europe to destinations including medieval Baltic capitals and Iceland, where the itineraries are built around the island's volcanic landscapes.
Ilma's summer program will put greater emphasis on Greece and the Adriatic. A seven-night Athens roundtrip departing May 9, 2028, includes Mykonos, Santorini, Patmos, Amorgos and Nafplio.
On July 27, Ilma will operate a seven-night round trip from Rome, visiting Valletta, Taormina, the Amalfi Coast and an island destination in southern Italy.
The new program also places considerable emphasis on shore experiences. In the Mediterranean, excursions include a trip from Portofino to San Fruttuoso, oyster harvesting in Mali Ston Bay, a helicopter and winery experience in Mallorca and a Jeep excursion around Milos.
Northern European options include a helicopter flight over Iceland's waterfalls, lava fields and glaciers, with a remote landing, while another experience combines French caviar and Champagne at an eco-friendly Bordeaux estate.
Ernesto Fara, President and CEO of The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection , said the 2028 program reflects the company's aim to give guests more time to engage with the places they visit and the people they meet.
The collection currently operates a small fleet of luxury yacht-style ships, with Evrima and Ilma among its European vessels. Evrima entered service in 2022, while Ilma began sailing in 2024.
The 2028 program gives the collection a broad European footprint, stretching from the Mediterranean islands and Italian coast to the Greek Isles, Adriatic, Norwegian fjords, Baltic region and Iceland.
