Ilma
Ilma expresses The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection’s approach to yacht travel through contemporary interiors, expansive sea views and private terraces that keep the ocean closely connected to daily life onboard. Mediterranean influences shape the design, while generous open-air areas and carefully composed public spaces create a refined residential feel throughout the yacht. Dining, service and outdoor living are woven into an intimate resort-style setting that feels distinctly different from the atmosphere of a conventional cruise ship.

Onboard Experience
Accommodation
Suite categories range from compact residential layouts to substantial multi-room retreats. The Owner’s Suites span 732 to 1,033 square feet, combining generous living and dining areas with whirlpool-equipped terraces; selected layouts also add outdoor showers. Grand Suites measure 560 square feet and include a double-vanity bathroom with a soaking tub and separate shower. These choices give couples and longer-stay guests noticeably different levels of living space and privacy overall onboard.Dining
Meals move between chef-led fine dining and livelier shared plates. Seta su Ilma presents contemporary Italian cooking from Chef Fabio Trabocchi, with seasonal tasting menus and wine pairings shaping a more formal evening. Beach House takes a different direction through Pan-Latin and Caribbean flavors created with Chef Michael Mina, complemented by an open-air setting and its own aft splash pool. The contrast makes restaurant choices feel distinct throughout each voyage.Bars & Lounges
Drinks and conversation shift naturally between two very different social spaces. The Living Room serves coffee and pastries in the morning before evolving into a piano bar with specialty cocktails, wines, Champagne, and late-night entertainment. The Humidor offers a quieter setting for premium cognacs, single malts, and hand-rolled cigars stored in a state-of-the-art humidor. Together, they cover lively pre-dinner gatherings and slower after-dinner moments without feeling interchangeable onboard at all.Activities & Entertainment
Sea days can alternate between family programming and cultural enrichment. Ritz Kids® gives younger travelers educational activities built around curiosity about the world, with enhanced programming during holidays and summer periods. Elsewhere on Ilma, classical and jazz musicians perform in intimate venues, while visiting experts, historians, artists, and other voices may add destination-focused context to a sailing. The schedule favors smaller-scale participation rather than large theatrical production-style entertainment at sea.Ilma Highlights
Open-air sightseeing and onboard shopping provide alternatives to dining or scheduled activities. The Observation Terrace occupies a forward position with panoramic top-deck views, lounge seating, and space for cocktails or quiet time outside. The Boutique carries designer apparel, sportswear, jewelry, and leather goods, with voyages also featuring collaborations with local artisans. Both spaces work easily around port days, giving guests flexible options without committing to structured programming or longer appointments.The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection
