The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection unveiled its 2028 Europe sailings, including 52 itineraries in the Mediterranean and Northern Europe from late April 2028 to October 2028. The roster of European itineraries feature 52 voyages aboard Evrima and Ilma throughout the Mediterranean and Northern Europe.

Reservations for the cruises are now open for bookings.

“Two new ports of call, Gijón, Spain and Portovenere, Italy, expand the season’s offerings, alongside greater exploration of the Greek Isles and the Adriatic aboard Ilma. Voyages range from four to nine nights, including roundtrip departures from Rome, Monte Carlo, Athens, Venice, and Reykjavík,” the ultra-luxury line said.

Sample Evrima Sailings

Sample itineraries for Evrima include a seven-night sailing from Nice to Rome on May 14, with calls at France’s Cannes and Italy’s Portofino, Portovenere and the island of Elba; and a nine-night voyage from London to Copenhagen on July 12, exploring destinations such as Norway’s Haugesund, Geiranger and Aalborg.

Ilma Itinerary Highlights

Itinerary highlights for Ilma include a roundtrip cruise from Athens departing May 9, with calls at Mykonos, Santorini, Patmos, Amorgos andNafplio; and a seven-night round-trip sailing from Rome on July 27, exploringValletta, the capital city of Malta, and in Italy, Taormina, Mount Etna and the Amalfi Coast.

Focus on Meaningful Connections

“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,” he added. “We believe those connections are what transform a voyage into an experience that stays with them long after they return home.”
