Luxury on ILMA Ritz-Carlton Yacht | That Blonde Travels — C/O Ritz Carlton Yachts

Luxury at Sea: Aboard ILMA with The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection

If you're looking for an ultra-luxury yachting experience that blurs the line between a private yacht and a high-end cruise, ILMA from The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection should be at the top of your list.

The Yacht Experience

ILMA offers an all-inclusive, highly personalized journey at sea, with rates starting at approximately $10,000 per person (double occupancy) for a 7-night itinerary. This price tag grants access to an intimate and luxurious sailing experience that prioritizes comfort, exclusivity, and world-class service.

WHAT Sets ILMA Apart

Beyond its stunning design and five-star service, ILMA boasts unique features that truly set it apart from traditional cruising experiences:

The Marina: A floating water playground accessible when anchored, offering kayaks, paddleboards, and more. It’s the ultimate way to feel like you’re aboard a private yacht rather than a traditional cruise.
Pop-Up Workshops: Guests can participate in engaging activities like nautical knot-tying, mixology classes, jewelry cleaning, and even photography enhancement workshops.
Exclusive Event Nights: ILMA hosts themed nights like Havana Nights and the White Party, offering an elevated entertainment experience.

The Ritz-Carlton Level of Service

The level of service on ILMA is nothing short of exceptional. Every guest has a Suite Ambassador who seems to anticipate needs before they even arise. The dining staff quickly learn names and preferences, adding a personalized touch to every meal. The ship is not particularly family-oriented, with only 5% of total capacity allocated to children, making it an ideal option for adult travelers seeking a sophisticated experience.

STARS Perks for That Blonde Travels Clients

Personalized welcome confection and an upgraded bottle of champagne or wine delivered to your suite.

An exclusive Suite Upgrade* for added luxury (based on availability).
Complimentary access to Starlink premium Wi-Fi services, ensuring seamless connectivity at sea.
