Luxury seafaring reaches new heights as The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection unveils its Summer 2027 itineraries, opening a new chapter of European exploration. From the sun-drenched Greek Isles to the dramatic fjords of Norway, the yachts Evrima and Ilma will offer 50 distinct voyages between April and October, inviting travelers to discover the continent's most captivating coastlines with the brand's signature intimacy and service.
The season is marked by a significant expansion, introducing 12 new ports of call to the collection's repertoire. These additions provide deeper access to the diverse cultures and landscapes of France, Denmark, Norway, Germany, Spain, and Italy, all while maintaining the boutique feeling of discovery at sea.
New Horizons and Enriched Itineraries
The 2027 season deepens the brand's footprint with carefully chosen new destinations. Travelers can anticipate the charming harbor and medieval architecture of La Rochelle, France, and the unforgettable sunset sail-aways past Zadar, Croatia's famed Sea Organ. In Northern Europe, Aarhus, Denmark, and Travemünde, Germany, will enrich Baltic and North Sea journeys. The diverse traditions of northern Spain will be on display in ports like San Sebastián, Santander, and A Coruña.
Adding convenience for travelers, Tilbury, London, will serve as a new turnaround port, offering easy access from the city center for Northern European voyages. In the Adriatic, every sailing will include a call on Dubrovnik, with frequent visits to Kotor, Montenegro, highlighting the region's historic architecture and stunning, fjord-like landscapes. The Greek Isles will see an increase in voyages, including new four- to seven-night itineraries designed for flexible, curated escapes.
Curated Shore Experiences
Beyond the destinations, the collection continues to excel with its curated shore excursions, designed to offer insider access and cultural depth. Experiences range from a private lunch at a grand château in Bordeaux to a guided stroll through Porto's charming streets with priority entry at the legendary Livraria Lello. Adventurous guests can opt for an off-roading journey to Mount Etna followed by a mountainside wine tasting, or a helicopter tour above Mallorca's Serra de Tramuntana culminating in a tasting at an organic gravity-flow winery.
