The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection announced its Summer 2028 European itineraries, featuring 52 voyages aboard Evrima and Ilma across the Mediterranean and Northern Europe. Sailing from late April through October 2028, the season takes guests from the lively coastlines of the Mediterranean to the dramatic fjords and rugged landscapes of Northern Europe, revealing the unique character of each region through thoughtfully paced journeys at sea, balancing unhurried days on board with immersive exploration ashore.

From the colorful fishing villages of the Italian Riviera and the whitewashed islands of the Aegean to Norway's majestic fjords and Iceland's volcanic scenery, the Summer 2028 voyages showcase the breadth of Europe's coastal regions. 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.

While the Mediterranean unfolds through island villages, centuries-old ports, and vibrant culinary traditions, Northern Europe delivers a striking contrast. Aboard Evrima, itineraries sail through Norway's UNESCO-listed fjords, the medieval capitals of the Baltics, and Iceland's volcanic terrain, where scenic sail-ins and extraordinary natural beauty become as memorable as the destinations themselves. Together, the season presents two distinct perspectives on Europe, each shaped by the landscapes and cultures that bring it to life.

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

The journey continues ashore through Pre-Designed Private Excursions, Select Group Excursions, and Custom Private Excursions, tailored to individual interests and inviting a deeper exploration of each destination. In the Mediterranean, guests can sail along the Portofino coastline to the secluded bay of San Fruttuoso, harvest oysters from the seabed at a family-owned farm in Mali Ston Bay, take in Mallorca from above by helicopter before a guided winery tasting, or explore the volcanic terrain of Milos by Jeep. Northern Europe provides opportunities to soar over Iceland's waterfalls, lava fields, and glaciers by helicopter with a remote landing or discover the artistry of French caviar through a private tasting paired with Champagne at an eco-friendly estate in Bordeaux. Each experience creates a more intimate perspective on its destination, connecting guests with the landscapes, craftsmanship, and local expertise that define it.

Highlights on Evrima include:

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 colorful harbor and Portovenere's shoreline seem almost untouched by time. On the island of Elba, historic fortifications rise above quiet coves and crystalline waters, offering a glimpse into a different side of Mediterranean life.

July 12, 2028 | 9-Night London to Copenhagen

Summer days stretch along Norway's coastline, where colorful harbors, mountain-framed fjords, and waterside villages shape the journey from Haugesund to Geiranger. Scenic 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 include:

May 9, 2028 | 7-Night Athens Round Trip

Days unfold among some of the Aegean's most storied islands, from the whitewashed lanes of Mykonos to the dramatic 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 honey-colored historic streets and sunlit squares, where café terraces spill into lively squares. In Taormina, Mount Etna remains in view beyond the rooftops, while Amalfi's steep lanes, lemon groves, and sweeping coastal views invite a slower look. Before returning to Rome, a final island call brings dramatic cliffs, tucked-away coves, and the relaxed pace of southern Italy into view.

The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection launches a new collaboration with Ginori 1735, debuting Ginori Terrace at sea aboard Evrima. Ginori Terrace celebrates the art of viaggio, the Italian word for travel, through a distinctive expression of design, art, and luxury hospitality.

Beginning in the Mediterranean, The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection introduces the playful takeover across three outdoor spaces aboard Evrima. Rooted in exploration and emotion, the concept merges the craftsmanship and colorful spirit of Ginori 1735 with The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection’s refined yachting experience. Each space is reimagined through a vibrant design language, centered on Ginori 1735’s Il Viaggio di Nettuno porcelain collection, presented within a Ginori concept for the first time. Custom-designed outdoor textiles and décor further enrich the spaces, alongside signature cocktail offerings. Together, these elements create an immersive setting where Italian design meets discovery, connection, and the joy of gathering, leaving memorable moments that linger long after the voyage ends.

“The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection continues to evolve how luxury is experienced at sea through thoughtful service, craftsmanship, and a spirit of innovation,” said Gaby Aiguesvives, Chief Marketing Officer of The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection. “Ginori 1735’s heritage and approach to elevating everyday rituals make it a natural partner as we continue to reimagine the guest experience. Ginori Terrace brings this vision to life on board Evrima, where craftsmanship, color, and design enhance each moment of the voyage, and beauty becomes part of the everyday journey.”

Ginori Terrace at sea unfolds across three interconnected outdoor environments, each expressed through a compelling color story in striped and solid interpretations. Every space is thoughtfully attuned to its setting and purpose, with shades, patterns, and decorative details carefully calibrated to interact with natural light and the surrounding seascape. From relaxed mornings by the pool to evenings at sunset, the spaces carry guests through the day in an experience designed to surprise and delight the senses.

The Pool House on Deck 5, Evrima’s all-day dining venue overlooking the main pool, is styled in Ginori 1735’s Azzurro colorway, where stripes of soft sky blues and deeper teal hues create an oasis for seaside relaxation. Upholstered sun loungers, umbrellas, pillows, and towels extend the print across the deck, creating a visual flow from sea to sky that transitions from carefree mornings to lively evenings.

On Deck 8, Mediterranean culinary destination Mistral takes on the warmth of the Mandarino palette, instilling fresh energy into the open-air restaurant. On the aft, orange, coral and blush-toned upholstery and décor add a joyful touch to al fresco dining and aperitivo against sweeping ocean views. The setting is further shaped by Ginori 1735’s Il Viaggio di Nettuno porcelain collection, designed by English artist Luke Edward Hall. Drawing from the marine world, the collection brings together fantastical sea creatures, mythological figures, and rich color to create an imaginative underwater narrative. Across tableware, glassware, and lighting accents, it infuses the atmosphere with creativity and refinement, inviting guests to connect over chef-driven dishes, specialty cocktails, and elegant wines.

At the water’s edge, the signature Marina is awash in the Zafferano tones, where bursts of golden yellow and amber recall the glow of a Mediterranean sunset. Brightly colored furnishings and vivid textiles complement the sunlit atmosphere, as guests lounge above the water, sunbathe after a swim, and enjoy watersports while at anchor, highlighting direct access to the sea, one of Evrima’s defining pleasures.

“We are pleased to collaborate with The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection on a project that embodies our shared commitment to excellence in hospitality. At Ginori 1735, we view luxury hospitality as a natural extension of our craftsmanship, where design enhances the experience of travel and gathering. Il Viaggio di Nettuno expresses this vision, bringing a narrative inspired by the sea and discovery into a refined onboard setting,” said Mehdi Benabadji, Chief Executive Officer of Ginori 1735.

The collaboration extends beyond design with a limited-time craft cocktail menu inspired by Ginori 1735’s Italian heritage. Select pieces from the Il Viaggio di Nettuno collection will also be available for purchase at The Boutique, with home shipping available to guests in the United States. The full collection is available for purchase on Ginori.com.
