Overview

Evrima entered service in 2022 and carries around 300 guests in suites with terraces. It is a yacht with hotel-trained service, a stern marina for swimming and water sports at anchor, and a children's program rare at this scale.

Evrima is the first of The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection: residential interiors, a restaurant by Sven Elverfeld, a marina platform that opens at anchor and itineraries that stay late in Saint-Tropez, Bonifacio and Porto Cervo.

It suits design-led couples and small families who want yacht privacy with a real service culture. Groups needing several connecting suites should look at Explora instead.

What it costs

Planning figures for Evrima

Planning figures from the sailings on this page, not a quote.

The fare

The Evrima sailings we would shortlist run from about $9,000 per person for 7 nights, depending on ship, suite, season and itinerary.

What that includes

All-suite accommodation; Dining and most drinks; Gratuities and Wi-Fi; Marina and water sports when conditions allow. Anything not on that list, we price alongside the fare so there is no surprise on board.

Around the ship

Flights, hotel nights before and after, private transfers and any excursions outside the fare sit on top. Your proposal sets out the cruise fare and additional costs so you can compare the full trip.

On board

Suites, cabins, dining and evenings on Evrima

In our words, from the questions we are asked most. Suite names are the line's; which one we would book is ours.

Suites
Terrace suites are the core and quiet; Grand suites add a living area; the Owner's suites at the top have the best terraces on the yacht.
Cabins we would book
A Terrace suite midship for couples; a Grand suite for grandparents hosting; connecting Terrace suites exist in very small numbers and go first.
Dining
S.E.A. by Sven Elverfeld, the Evrima Room, Talaat Nam pan-Asian, Mistral on deck and the Marina Terrace; all included except S.E.A.
Entertainment
A pianist, live music under the stars, the marina at anchor. Quiet, yacht-style evenings.

Want the right suite on Evrima?

Tell us who is traveling and we will name the deck and the suite numbers we would hold, and the ones we would avoid.

Children, grandparents, mobility

Evrima for the whole family

Three honest notes: what the ship does for children, what it does for grandparents, and what it asks of anyone with limited mobility.

Children
Ritz Kids runs a program on most sailings, unusual on a yacht, and children are welcome in every restaurant.
Grandparents
Quiet, residential, with hotel service; the one yacht we suggest for grandparents hosting a single family rather than the whole clan.
Accessibility
A few accessible suites; many calls are at anchor with tender transfers, which limits fit. We are direct about this.

Planning for the whole family?

Connecting suites, different activity levels, dining that works for everyone, and transfers that suit grandparents and toddlers alike. The best family suites go first, so start early.

Where it sails

Where Evrima goes

The regions this ship sails as far as we know; the itinerary confirms the ports and the season.

Positano stacked above the sea on the Amalfi coast
Late May to June and September to early October. July and August for school vacations, booked well ahead.

Mediterranean

The easiest great cruise there is: short flights, famous ports, and a ship for every kind of family.

Sunset over the whitewashed houses of Oia, Santorini
June and September are ideal; July and August are hot and busy; October still swims.

Greek Islands

Small ships, island overnights, and a late season that runs into October.

The walled old town of Dubrovnik and its harbour from above
May to June and September; July and August are warm and busy.

Adriatic & Croatia

Venice, Dubrovnik and Kotor in a week, on ships small enough for the old harbors.

Friendship Beach on Bequia in the Grenadines, palms over a quiet bay
December to April. Christmas and New Year sailings book 12 months ahead.

Caribbean

Winter sun for the whole family, on ships that make Christmas and half-term easy.

Our promise

We will say no.

We do not recommend a cruise because it is expensive, and we do not put people on the wrong ship. If Evrima is not right for your party, we will tell you and suggest the one that is, even if it costs less or is sold by someone else. We are an advisor, not a booking engine.

Good to know

Evrima FAQs

Does Evrima take children?

Yes. The Ritz Kids program runs on most sailings and children are welcome everywhere on board, which is rare on a yacht of this size.
