Ilma — 'water' in Maltese — is the first of two LNG-powered newbuilds for the brand and scheduled to debut in 2024.
Larger and even roomier than Evrima
Ilma and 2025 sister ship Luminara measure 46,750gt, up from the 24,000gt of The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection's first vessel, Evrima, and have 456 berths each, up from 298.
They''ll have even roomier public areas than Evrima plus a larger selection of top-end suites and more categories, all with terraces.
Reservations are expected to open this fall.
