The yacht journey
An overview
Ilma expands The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection concept while keeping the experience intentionally intimate. The 790-foot yacht accommodates up to 448 guests in 224 light-filled suites, all with private terraces. Large open decks, an expansive Marina, multiple restaurants and a strong wellness program give guests space to move through the day without the feel of a traditional large ship. In 2026, Forbes Travel Guide recognized Ilma as the world’s first Five-Star Cruise Ship — a distinction that reflects the yacht’s emphasis on service, design and consistency as much as on hardware.
An expansive Marina platform with direct access to the sea in suitable destinations.
Five dining venues plus bars, lounges and a dedicated wine vault.
The Ritz-Carlton Spa, fitness and personalized Suite Ambassador service.
Forbes Travel Guide named Ilma the world’s first Five-Star Cruise Ship in the 2026 Star Awards.
