Ritz-Carlton's new luxury cruise ship will sail in 2024 starting at $6,800 per person — see inside the 456-guest 'yacht'
The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection opened bookings for its second upcoming cruise vessel, the Ilma.
The 456-guest ship will enter service in September 2024 starting at $6,800 per person.
The cruise line's first ship has been "booking quite well," the company told Insider in 2022.
Ritz-Carlton has opened reservations for its newest cruise vessel following the success of its first floating hotel.
But if you're looking to travel on the upcoming Ilma, you'll have to be patient.
The cruise ship — which the brand affectionately calls a "superyacht" — won't enter service until 2024.
The Ilma will embark on its first six Mediterranean sailings in September 2024 starting at $6,800 per person.
These itineraries will range from 7 to 13 nights, bringing travelers to destinations like Spain's Balearic Islands with overnight stays in locations like Alexandria, Egypt.
All six of these cruises will have at least one sailing day with no port of call.
To some, this could be the most boring day of the vacation. But at least travelers will get to spend it in a 790-foot-long floating Ritz-Carlton.
The luxury vessel is no mega cruise vessel — There's no rock climbing wall, rows of waterslides, or loud mini-golf courses for bored children.
However, it does have a pool deck, a separate aft infinity pool, five restaurants, six bars, several lounges, and a spa.
If you're already familiar with the cruise line's first vessel, the 623-foot Evrima, you'll probably recognize some of the amenities aboard the upcoming Ilma.
Like its predecessor, the new vessel will have a marina with a new adjacent terrace, giving guests direct access to the water and water toys while the ship is anchored.
