11 NIGHTS FROM £17,629 per person

Ritz Carlton Cruise

As unrivalled views of the Acropolis fade away from sight, sail through the gems of the Aegean to Italy's storied shores onboard Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection's Ilma. Depart Athens to glide across the Mediterrean, where cliffside monastries balance uncannily above secluded coves, past Santorini's whitewashed walls, Crete's Venetian harbours, and Sicily's impeccable diverse time-old streets before arriving on the sun-dappled colourful shores of the Amalfi coast and disembarking at the capital of the ancient world, Rome. On board, embrace the yachting lifestyle of Ritz-Carlton, where every experience is elevated with a sense of exclusive and intimate luxury. 

By land

This 11-night odyssey begins in Athens with two nights at The Dolli, a prestigious hotel-maison boasting unrivalled Acropolis views. Then board the ultra-luxury Ritz-Carlton Ilma for a seven-night voyage through the Aegean and Mediterranean. Discover the charms of Amorgos, Santorini, and Crete before cruising to Sicily and the iconic Amalfi Coast. Conclude your journey with two nights at Rome's Hotel de la Ville, spectacularly situated atop the Spanish Steps.

By sea

The Ritz-Carlton Ilma, the second superyacht in the collection, redefines luxury at sea with a focus on space and intimacy. Accommodating 448 guests, the vessel features 224 all-terrace suites, five restaurants, and an expanded marina for direct water access. With a near one-to-one guest-to-crew ratio, it delivers the brand’s legendary personalised service across the Mediterranean and Caribbean.
