Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection’s Ilma Sails Out on First Voyage

The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection reports that Ilma, its second new-build luxury superyacht, has set sail on its inaugural voyage. The yacht embarked on a seven-night journey from Monte Carlo to Rome on September 2.

The 448-guest Ilma measures 790 feet, offering 224 suites, all with private terraces providing direct access to the sea. On its inaugural season in the Mediterranean, Ilma will visit Santorini, Porto Cervo and the historic sites of Valletta before departing for the Caribbean, where experiences in Virgin Gorda, Gustavia and St. John await guests. In summer 2025, Ilma will sail the North and Baltic Seas of Northern Europe, a first for The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection. Ports of call will include Amsterdam, Stockholm and Reykjavík.

Ilma offers five dining venues, a refreshed in-suite dining program, seven bars and a signature wine vault. Highlights include two dining venues conceptualized by Michelin-starred restaurant chefs Fabio Trabocchi and Michael Mina.

A new signature space across The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection fleet, Ilma debuts a Marina and Marina Terrace, complete with large glass windows that draw in natural light, side doors that open and float above the water, and a hydraulic platform that connects guests directly with the sea when the yacht is at anchor. Deck 10 presents an open-air space for live entertainment and sunbathing, complete with the main pool, pool bar and an outdoor LED screen. Additional experiences include The Ritz-Carlton Spa with 11 rooms, five of which offer outdoor treatment options, and three fitness spaces: a Movement Studio, Cycle Studio and Fitness Studio with weights and cardio machines.
