Named for a word of Greek origin meaning “discovery,” Evrima sails to the world’s yachting playgrounds, where you’ll discover hidden coves and iconic cities while enjoying the relaxed pace of the yachting lifestyle. Culinary experiences on board range from casual poolside eateries to elegant fine dining, and The Ritz-Carlton Spa offers a wide array of revitalizing treatments. When you’re ready to explore, the sea or the shore is just steps away from Evrima’s aft Marina. After the day’s adventures, retire to your spacious suite and watch the sun drop beneath the horizon from your private terrace.
First, let me describe all the things wrong with it. The pre-voyage contingent was very disorganized. Quite literally four people interacted with us. They often took a long time to get back and – total rookie mistake – did not remind us a day ahead of the specific port and Venice has two, as we learned a very expensive cab ride later. Heck, you fly economy on Spirit Air and they remind you a day ahead. The fitness room should have had one seated exercise bike with back support (consider their demogaphic!) instead of two identical ones with no back support. The internet was very fast, but the tech was otherwise pretty bad, starting with the app, which you can’t search for on your phone with keyword ‘ritz.” (You need to use “Yacht”.) Also, the strawberry gelato was icy, the pillows aren’t soft, and the lifejackets when you swim off the marina bit into your neck. The breaded tofu never should have been allowed to leave the kitchen or even appear on the menu, and the ramen was no good. One of the tenders was unavailable for two days and they had no contingency plan for contacting people to stagger their departures, meaning we cooled our heels in the living room for up to 90 minutes. So we lost half of a prepaid private tour. (By the way, don’t feel constrained by their tours. while every shore day was great, the very best were the ones we planned on our own, either with or without finding a tour. You can, with some work, plan great days on your own.) Otherwise, it was a totally spectacular experience start to finish. we will definitely be doing another one. The service was impeccable, starting with our Ambassador Andre and his colleague Mark. Seems like the entire staff knew our names by the end. The ship itself was outstanding. You barely knew you were moving. The rooms were great and very quiet. (We upgraded but the upgrade was not worth it, as some of the square footage was a corridor.) The food except for those two meals was outstanding. we did not do SEA and to do it all over again would still not do SEA, because it is quite a commitment of time and money. Do a really great meal on the long shore days instead, for less or the same cost. Basically aside from those very specific complaints (easily remediable if the staff reads this, as I am sure they will), this was the best-ever vacation. They have certainly learned a lot from their early bad reviews, which is how I know they’ll read this one and learn some more.
This was our second Ritz Carlton Yacht experience and it certainly won’t be our last. It is true luxury at sea. The ship itself, the onboard amenities, the staterooms and the staff are all exceptional. They are listening to customer feedback. We saw many improvements between our first and second voyage. For example, they change the menus in all restaurants every three days to ensure variety. The food is top notch - caviar, fresh seafood, even custom requests - I don’t think there is a line that offers better quality dining. The entertainment has also significantly improved from nightly musicians to watercolor painting and mixology classes. If you like cruising, perhaps this line may not appeal. If you like luxury resorts, like the Ritz and Four Seasons, this is like a hotel on the sea. It has a refined sophistication and you go to relax and enjoy 5 star service. I appreciate the small capacity, the intimate feel and the personalized care that was extended to us during our voyage. Kudos to hotel manager Fabio for his leadership, to Julie, the entertainment director, Bianca, the guest relations manager, and all of the kind service from the restaurants from Hana, Dadan, Harry, Vishal and so many more. They all go out of their way to make sure you have a special experience.
This was our first luxury cruise, and it did not disappoint. Evrima is a small yacht, 298 passengers, and it was less than half full. This meant that the staff to guest ratio was likely more than 2 to 1. We selected their “signature” cabin, which is one up from basic. Reason for this was to get maximum comfort, cabin had a couch, and a lounger on the balcony. The ship is gorgeous, launched in ‘22, immaculately clean and modern. All the public, as well as private areas were top notch in comfort and cleanliness. Service was over the top, we had a personal concierge, visiting us daily, or whenever we picked up the phone to ask for ice, or food. Staff gets to know your name on day 2, my husband adored all the attention, I felt a bit over the top fussed over. But they knew just how he liked his green tea, and had it ready. Food was exquisite in all restaurants. We tried SPA, I had a facial which was luxurious but indecently expensive, at $300. On shore excursions are mixed. They hire local vendors and charge double. That said, we docked in Cartagena, Colombia, I asked for a private tour with focus on history of the city. Ritz actually provided a history teacher who had encyclopedic knowledge of the area, took us to his birthplace, and catered to our every wish. That tour was very interesting. On the other hand, in Curacao, the boat tour was disappointing, it was physically uncomfortable, diving into the cave was dangerous, resulted in a scrape on my head, and the destination was not anywhere as exciting as described. Bottom line, I would definitely do this again. Their new ship, Ilma, has basic “terrace” cabins which do have the couch/ living room arrangement. I would just do more research on the shore excursions to see if they match my needs. Local vendors can do the job. One last thought, the Ritz bathrobes are so luxurious that we are looking to buy them for home. To add, this is not a trip for children or teens. They did have some arts activities, but kids would be bored. This was fine with us. On board entertainment consisted of mediocre piano/ guitar/vocalists.
