Is This the Right Fit?

Who Ritz-Carlton Yachts Is Best For

Choose Ritz-Carlton Yachts If…

  • You want a genuinely all-inclusive fare, dining and drinks included
  • You prefer a larger fleet with more sailing dates and destinations
  • You’re already loyal to Ritz-Carlton or Marriott Bonvoy
  • You want more itinerary options across more regions
  • You value a boutique feel with slightly more social energy onboard

Consider Four Seasons Yachts If…

  • You want the most private, lowest-guest-count experience possible
  • You’re already a Four Seasons hotel loyalist
  • You prefer à la carte dining flexibility over a bundled fare

Worth knowing before you book: with only 95 suites fleet-wide, the most desirable accommodations often sell out more than a year in advance, and most shore excursions are optional add-ons rather than included in the fare.

How It Compares

Four Seasons Yachts vs. Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection

Guest Capacity190Evrima 298 · Ilma 448 · Luminara 452

AtmosphereMore private and boutiqueLuxurious, slightly higher guest volume
Best ForFour Seasons loyalists, ultra-high-end travelersRitz-Carlton fans, luxury cruise converts

The core difference: Four Seasons goes smaller and more spacious, with fewer guests and a higher staff ratio. Ritz-Carlton stays intimate but follows a more traditional cruise structure with more passengers per sailing.
