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
| Feature | Four Seasons Yachts | Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection |
|---|---|---|
| Launch | 2026 | Evrima (2021), Ilma (2024), Luminara (2025) |
| Guest Capacity | 190 | Evrima 298 · Ilma 448 · Luminara 452 |
| Suites | 95 ultra-luxe suites | Evrima 149 · Ilma/Luminara ~224 |
| Suite Size | 537–613 sq ft + terraces (Funnel Suite: 9,600 sq ft) | Evrima from ~300 sq ft, terraces included |
| Atmosphere | More private and boutique | Luxurious, slightly higher guest volume |
| Best For | Four Seasons loyalists, ultra-high-end travelers | Ritz-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.
