THIS incredible 790ft mega-yacht carries hundreds of guests in ultra-opulent cabins.
The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection gave an exciting glimpse into the new superyacht named Ilma, which includes an onboard spa and gym, in vision on social media.
Vision of the luxury boat shows cabins that await guests, with decor resembling a five-star hotel room leading to private terraces looking over the sea.
It also boats a huge deck for guests to bask on sunbeds.
A swimming pool with a bar behind it adds to the opulence, with separate massive dining areas.
Interior Design Director Taylor Cuff said it was in line with Ritz-Carlton’s mission to give guests “uncompromised luxury”.
She said: “Projects like this really allow us to move the needle to create a new product and to provide a new opportunity for luxurious experience.
“It’s really important that we deliver what our guests are expecting from land-based Ritz Carlton on the yacht collection.”
She said the “absolutely stunning” yacht gave customers a chance to “connect directly with the sea”.
Taylor added: “We really wanted to do it bigger and better for Ilma and really evolve that further.”
The word Ilma translates to “water” in Maltese.
Ritz-Carlton’s Yacht Collection website says guests – it can hold 448 of them – are greeted by spacious suites, open-air lounges and “an aft Marina” by the water.
Wealthy yacht-goers pay up for an all-inclusive fare featuring 24-hour dining as well as drinks in their suites and around the yacht.
It has several restaurants offering bites ranging from sashimi to pasta to grilled steak and seafood.
In the evening, a pianist provides a romantic soundtrack to the night before a DJ comes on for those keen to boogie.
There is even a crew-guest ratio of one to one, promising top-notch service.
Bringing the kids on board is also made easier by Ritz Kids, a program offered in the summer mixing education with fun.
Apparently not satisfied, Ritz-Carlton is adding another mega-yacht to its fleet to hit the seas in 2025.
It’ll be called the Luminara and will be even larger at 794ft.
Ritz-Carlton first launched in 1983, and now has 108 luxury hotels dotted across the globe.
Aside from Ilma and Luminara, the third yacht of the company’s lavish boat collection is the slightly smaller Evrima, which has a 298-guest capacity.
The yachts sail around Asia, the Caribbean, Mediterranean and the northern Europe and Baltic regions.
