We're excited to announce a monumental milestone - the official delivery of our highly anticipated second yacht, Ilma! The delivery ceremony took place at Chantiers de l'Atlantique shipyard in Saint-Nazaire, France and celebrated several maritime traditions including the changing of flags on board the yacht. This milestone brings us one step closer to welcoming our first guests aboard in September. A huge thank you to our incredible Ladies and Gentlemen and all the teams involved in preparing Ilma for her maiden voyage. Their dedication ensures our future guests will receive the exceptional service and luxurious amenities that are synonymous with The Ritz-Carlton. Stay tuned for more updates as we gear up for Ilma's inaugural season.
We are very proud to have been part of this beautiful project, and to be part of such an amazing and beautiful vessel! May the wind be gentle!
🤗 can’t wait for our voyage September 2025!

The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection. Maritime traditions play a crucial role in yacht deliveries, symbolizing the transfer of responsibility and celebrating the vessel's readiness for service. These traditions, including the changing of flags, are deeply rooted in maritime culture and ensure a ceremonial passage into active use.
See you next Summer!!
How very wonderful to name her ILMA. As a Maltese national it is heartwarming to discover you have taken the Maltese word for water “Ilma” and embued it with elegance, luxury and an impeccable sense of style - The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection
I bet this will be amazing. I wasn’t a cruise person, but I am now The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection
