The Ritz-Carlton, synonymous with opulence and timeless elegance, has taken its world-renowned luxury to the high seas once again with the launch of Ilma, its second ultra-luxurious superyacht. Embarking on its maiden voyage from Monte Carlo to Rome, Ilma is not just another addition to The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection—it’s a bold statement that reimagines the future of luxury travel on the water.
Measuring a staggering 790 feet and accommodating up to 448 guests, Ilma offers 224 exquisite suites, each featuring private terraces that invite guests to experience the ocean in the most intimate way possible. But beyond its impressive dimensions and lavish accommodations, what truly sets Ilma apart is its seamless blend of contemporary design, curated dining experiences, and The Ritz-Carlton’s legendary service.
Every corner of Ilma reflects careful attention to detail, from its elegantly understated interiors to the refined materials and craftsmanship. Designed by AD Associates, an acclaimed London-based architectural and design firm, and with lighting masterfully curated by DPA, Ilma’s interior evokes a sense of sophistication that perfectly balances comfort and indulgence. The neutral color palette, punctuated by subtle design nods to Maltese mythology and coastline, creates an ambiance that is both serene and visually rich.
The exterior, designed by the Helsinki-based studio Aivan, draws inspiration from the sleek, timeless forms of private yachts. The seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces enhances the connection to the sea, allowing guests to experience the surrounding beauty at every moment.

Dining aboard Ilma is nothing short of a world-class experience. The yacht’s five distinct dining venues are helmed by some of the culinary world’s most revered names, including MICHELIN-starred chefs Fabio Trabocchi and Michael Mina. Guests can indulge in Trabocchi’s modern Italian cuisine at Seta su Ilma, where seasonal tasting menus pair with an impeccable selection of Italian wines.
For those looking to enjoy the vibrant flavors of South and Central America, The Beach House—designed by Toronto-based Chapi Chapo Design—blends fire-born flavors in a casual yet upscale environment, making it the perfect place to unwind with 180-degree ocean views.
Other highlights include Memorī, which puts a modern spin on Pan-Asian cuisine, and Tides, offering an ever-changing menu inspired by the diverse culinary landscapes of the destinations Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection explores.
At the heart of Ilma’s luxurious offering is The Living Room, a central hub where guests can begin their day with freshly roasted coffee and pastries or wind down with cocktails and live music in the evening. The yacht’s Marina Terrace is an architectural marvel, featuring large glass windows that invite natural light and connect guests directly to the sea with a hydraulic platform that extends when the yacht is anchored.
For those seeking relaxation, The Ritz-Carlton Spa offers a rejuvenating escape with treatments from globally renowned brands like ESPA, 111SKIN, and Pisterzi. Fitness enthusiasts will find three distinct workout spaces, including a Cycle Studio and Fitness Studio.
Ilma’s inaugural Mediterranean season is nothing short of spectacular. With stops in Santorini’s blue waters, Porto Cervo’s glamorous yachting playgrounds, and Valletta’s historic sites, the yacht takes guests to some of the world’s most coveted destinations. Come 2025, Ilma will sail the North and Baltic Seas, marking The Ritz-Carlton’s first venture into Northern Europe with immersive itineraries in cultural hubs like Amsterdam, Stockholm, and Reykjavík.
Whether sunbathing on Deck 10’s poolside terrace, indulging in gourmet meals, or discovering historic ports of call, Ilma delivers a travel experience that blends luxury, culture, and the freedom of the open sea.
With Ilma’s debut, The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection further cements its place as a leader in luxury travel. Combining legendary service, thoughtful design, and bespoke experiences, Ilma invites travelers to explore the world with unparalleled comfort and sophistication.
For those seeking the ultimate yachting experience, reservations for Ilma are now open, offering an invitation to sail the seas in signature Ritz-Carlton style.
