Evrima from The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection Completes Sea Trials

One of the world’s most famous hotel brands is nearly ready to begin sailing on their new cruise ship! Evrima, the inaugural yacht from The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, completed a series of successful sea trials today under the direction of Captain Steven MacBeath and the entire onboard team of engineers, contractors and shipyard staff. 

The international hotel chain announced in 2018 that they would be entering the cruise space and though the COVID-19 pandemic delayed production of their new ship, the fledgling cruise line is finally getting ready to sail. 

About Evirma

The new ship boasts ultra-luxe suites with private terraces and two glamorous 138-square-foot penthouse suites all found in a sleek 190-meter frame. The intimate size of the yacht creates a more residential feel, and the expansive suites boast floor to ceiling windows resulting in more flowing, spacious accommodations. Those who book will find a number of onboard activities and entertainment, watersports from the yacht’s marina, a curated menu of spa treatments and the yacht’s signature restaurant, which was designed by Sven Elverfeld of Aqua, the three Michelin star restaurant at The Ritz- Carlton, Wolfsburg.
