The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection announces Winter 2026–2027 Caribbean season aboard Ilma - Get updated on what's happening in tourism!

The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection has opened reservations for its Winter 2026–2027 Caribbean season on Ilma. From November 2026 through April 2027, the yacht will operate more than 20 itineraries of three to seven nights, blending vibrant harbors with secluded tropical coastlines. New short three- and four-night getaways join the program, alongside longer voyages designed for immersive exploration.

For the first time, Miami joins San Juan as a turnaround port, offering guests flexible departures and convenient access just minutes from Miami International Airport. “Our 2026–2027 Caribbean voyages aboard Ilma offer the freedom to design a journey perfectly suited to the occasion, with Miami and San Juan providing seamless entry points to the region,” said Ernesto Fara, President of The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection.

Highlights include stops in St. Barth’s Gustavia, Bequia, Antigua, Martinique, St. Lucia, and the Grenadines, with opportunities for reef snorkeling, rainforest excursions, boutique shopping, and cultural immersion. Holiday sailings feature a Thanksgiving voyage from Miami to San Juan, festive Christmas and New Year programs, and a Valentine’s Day journey to romantic island settings.

Curated shore excursions enrich each itinerary, from diving with sea turtles in the Virgin Islands to Michelin-led cooking classes in Antigua. Guests can also explore Virgin Gorda’s Baths or soar over St. Lucia’s Pitons by helicopter.

Ilma measures 790 feet (241 meters) and hosts 448 guests in 224 suites, each with private terrace and uninterrupted sea views. On board, five restaurants by acclaimed chefs Fabio Trabocchi and Michael Mina, seven bars, a wine vault, the Ritz-Carlton Spa®, and an expansive Marina ensure refined luxury.

Reservations for Winter 2026–2027 are now open at ritzcarltonyachtcollection.com.
