Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection’s Ilma Returns For Winter Season

The ultra-luxury Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection announced its Winter 2026/2027 Caribbean season today aboard Ilma. Now available for reservations, Ilma will sail in the Caribbean between November 2026 and April 2027.

Ports of call include St. Barths, Bequia, in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Antigua, Martinique, and more.

Ilma, which measures 790 feet, accommodates up to 448 guests. The yacht offers 224 suites, each with a private terrace, along with amenities such as a marina, 5 restaurants, 7 bars, a wine vault, and open-air entertainment areas.

Here’s where Ilma will sail:

November 2026: 4-Night Miami Round-Trip
December 2026: 7-Night San Juan Round-Trip
January 2027: 3-Night San Juan Round Trip
February 2027: 7-Night San Juan Round-Trip

“Our 2026–2027 Caribbean voyages aboard Ilma offer the freedom to design a journey perfectly suited to the occasion, with departures from Miami and San Juan creating a flexible, immersive way to experience this extraordinary region,” said Ernesto Fara, president of The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection.

Interestingly, Miami will become a turnaround port for the first time, joining San Juan as a port of turnaround. Just 15 minutes from Miami International Airport (MIA), the location will offer seamless access for guests flying into or out of the airport.

The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection finally debuted its first ship, Evrima, in October 2022. Today, the brand operates 3 luxury ships and offers a variety of destinations, including Europe, Alaska, and Asia.

How To Book

Reservations for the winter 2026/2027 Caribbean sailing season are now available at the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection website. Given the ship’s relatively short distances, prices are much lower than we’ve seen on other Ritz-Carlton yachts.

For instance, you can score a 3-night sailing from San Juan to Virgin Gorda in the British Virgin Islands and St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands, for a fairly reasonable $3,200.

The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection participates in the Marriott Bonvoy loyalty program, which means you can earn and redeem Marriott Bonvoy points on your sailings. You’ll earn 5x Marriott points per dollar spent on fares as well as hotel packages.

Hot Tip:

You can redeem an initial 180,000 points toward $1,000 in savings on Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection fares, and increments of 90,000 points toward a $500 savings thereafter.

Final Thoughts

The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection announced its next sailing season, and there’s some great news for travelers. The company is offering sailings ranging from 3 to 7 days, and pricing is significantly lower than we’ve seen on other ships like Evrima.
