From the Greek Isles to the Norwegian fjords, the new itineraries aboard Evrima and Ilma invite guests to explore Europe's most captivating coastlines with the intimacy, service, and enriching experiences of The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection.
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Oct. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection today announced its summer 2027 Mediterranean and Northern Europe itineraries aboard Evrima and Ilma, now open for reservations. Sailing from April through October, the season introduces 50 new voyages that explore the beauty, history, and culture of Europe's celebrated coastlines. Each itinerary pairs marquee cities with lesser-traveled ports, offering extended time ashore and curated excursions that bring each destination to life.
The season will introduce 12 new ports of call across France, Denmark, Norway, Germany, Spain, and Italy, further expanding the brand's footprint while maintaining its boutique approach to discovery at sea. Highlights include La Rochelle, France, with its charming harbor and medieval architecture, and Zadar, Croatia, where sunset sail-aways pass the famed Sea Organ, an architectural work that transforms the movement of the waves into music. In Northern Europe, additions such as Aarhus, Denmark, and Travemünde, Germany deepen Baltic and North Sea itineraries, while San Sebastián, Santander, and A Coruña showcase the diverse traditions of northern Spain.
The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection also introduces Tilbury, London as a new turnaround port, providing convenient access from the city center for voyages across Northern Europe. In the Adriatic, all sailings will call on Dubrovnik with frequent visits to Kotor, creating more opportunities to highlight the region's historic architecture and dramatic fjord-like landscapes. Across the Greek Isles, voyages will increase with additional four- to seven-night itineraries designed for flexible, curated escapes. Ports such as Piran and Nafplio set the stage for unhurried days, with Marina time for leisurely seawater swims and an array of water activities.
"Our summer 2027 itineraries highlight The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection's vision of travel at sea, where craftsmanship, meaningful experiences, and legendary service come together to create unforgettable journeys," said Ernesto Fara, President of The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection. "With the season introducing several first-time calls, the voyages invite deeper exploration and connection with the culture, history, and beauty of the Mediterranean and Northern Europe."
Curated shore experiences continue to invite guests to explore each destination with insider access and cultural depth. In Bordeaux, a private lunch unfolds in the grandeur of an illustrious château, while in Porto, a guided stroll through charming streets leads to priority entry at Livraria Lello, paired with tastings of regional specialties that illuminate Portugal's history. Across the Mediterranean, adventures range from off-roading to Mount Etna followed by a mountainside wine estate visit, to a sky-to-cellar helicopter journey soaring above Mallorca's Serra de Tramuntana before landing for a picturesque tasting at an organic gravity-flow winery. Select Aegean itineraries delve in the timeless culture of Ephesus and the seasonal bounty of the village of Caferli, while in Northern Europe, extended time in the fjords allows for scenic sailing and unhurried exploration ashore.
