The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection has announced its summer 2028 European season, comprising 52 voyages aboard Evrima and Ilma across the Mediterranean and Northern Europe. Sailing from late April through October 2028, itineraries range from four to nine nights and include roundtrip departures from Rome, Monte Carlo, Athens, Venice, and Reykjavík.
The season adds two new ports of call — Gijón, Spain, and Portovenere, Italy — alongside expanded exploration of the Greek Isles and the Adriatic aboard Ilma. Evrima's itineraries sail through Norway's UNESCO-listed fjords, the medieval capitals of the Baltics, and Iceland's volcanic terrain, with the broader season spanning from the fishing villages of the Italian Riviera and the islands of the Aegean to Northern Europe's fjords and rugged coastlines.
"The destinations our guests remember most are often the ones where they form the strongest connections, with the places they visit, the people they meet, and the moments they experience along the way," said Ernesto Fara, president and chief executive officer of The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection. "Our Summer 2028 season reflects that belief, bringing together itineraries that encourage guests to spend more time engaging with each place in a way that feels personal and authentic."
Ashore, guests can choose from Pre-Designed Private Excursions, Select Group Excursions, and Custom Private Excursions. Mediterranean options include sailing along the Portofino coastline to the bay of San Fruttuoso, harvesting oysters from the seabed at a family-owned farm in Mali Ston Bay, taking in Mallorca by helicopter before a guided winery tasting, and exploring the volcanic terrain of Milos by Jeep. In Northern Europe, guests can soar over Iceland's waterfalls, lava fields, and glaciers by helicopter with a remote landing, or discover French caviar through a private tasting paired with Champagne at an eco-friendly estate in Bordeaux.
Highlights on Evrima
May 14, 2028 | 7-Night Nice to Rome
From Nice to Rome, this voyage traces coastlines that have drawn artists, writers, and travelers for generations. Spend a morning wandering Cannes on the French Riviera before continuing to Italy, where Portofino's harbor and Portovenere's shoreline seem almost untouched by time. On the island of Elba, historic fortifications rise above quiet coves and crystalline waters.
July 12, 2028 | 9-Night London to Copenhagen
Summer days stretch along Norway's coastline, where harbors, mountain-framed fjords, and waterside villages shape the journey from Haugesund to Geiranger. Sailings through one of Norway's most breathtaking fjords reveal towering cliffs and cascading waterfalls, while Kristiansand and Aalborg offer a glimpse into Scandinavian urban life before the itinerary concludes in Copenhagen.
Highlights on Ilma
May 9, 2028 | 7-Night Athens Round Trip
Days unfold among the Aegean's islands, from the lanes of Mykonos to the views of Santorini's caldera. In Patmos, life moves at a gentle pace, while the quiet beauty of Amorgos and Nafplio's waterfront cafés and neoclassical streets invite lingering exploration before returning to Athens.
July 27, 2028 | 7-Night Rome Round Trip
Leaving Rome behind, you'll find yourself among Valletta's historic streets and squares, where café terraces spill into squares. In Taormina, Mount Etna remains in view beyond the rooftops, while Amalfi's steep lanes, lemon groves, and coastal views invite a slower look. Before returning to Rome, a final island call brings cliffs, coves, and the relaxed pace of southern Italy into view.
Reservations for Summer 2028 voyages across the Mediterranean and Northern Europe are now open.
