Some places ask a little more of you to get there, and give back so much more. Komodo's islands at first light. The lagoons of Huahine and Mo'orea. The quiet gardens of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection sails all of them on small yachts where every suite has a private terrace (Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection). Here are the six voyages we're watching, with the line's own fares and its air offer, so you can see which one is calling you. Our Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection overview keeps them all in one place.

Is Business Class air included?

Quick answer

It depends on your suite. On select 2026 and 2027 Asia and South Pacific voyages, its most spacious suites include roundtrip Business Class flights from select U.S. gateways, a pre-voyage luxury hotel night and transfers. Other suites get an airfare credit of up to $5,000 per guest for air booked with the line (Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection). On the Papeete round trip, the credit shown for Evrima's Grand, Loft, Signature and Terrace Suites is up to $4,000 (Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection). It is for U.S. and Canada residents, new bookings only, capacity controlled, and can change at any time (Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection).

How do I move and get in the water?

Evrima and Luminara each have a Marina at the stern for slipping into the sea (Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection; Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection), and some itineraries set aside a full Marina Day, like Huahine and Komodo Bay above. On board, the fitness studio lists sunrise yoga and mat Pilates (Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection). A slow morning stretch with the ocean all around is a lovely way to start a port day.
