Up to $1,000 Onboard Credit on The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection When You Book With Me
Here's one of the fun parts of working with a travel advisor: sometimes you get more for booking the exact same trip.
As of October 15, 2026, when you book The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection through me, you get onboard credit on your voyage. That's thanks to the partnership between the yacht line and Departure Lounge, the agency I'm affiliated with.
How Much Onboard Credit You Get
$500 per suite on standard suites
$1,000 per suite on the top three suite categories on each yacht
Which Suites Get $1,000
The top three categories are different depending on the yacht:
Luminara: Owner's Suite, Concierge Suite, Residential Suite
Ilma: Owner's Suite, Concierge Suite, View Suite
Evrima: Owner's Suite, View Suite, Loft Suite
So if you've been deciding between suite categories, this is one more thing to weigh. I can help you figure out whether moving up actually makes sense for your trip.
What I'd Spend It On
This is where the credit is actually useful, because so much of the yacht is already included in your fare. Your suite, most of the dining, drinks, gratuities and Wi-Fi are all covered.
So the credit goes toward the things that aren't. Think spa treatments, shore excursions, and specialty dining.
In other words, the things you were probably going to want anyway.
Which Yacht Is Right for You?
Evrima is the smallest of the three, with 149 suites. Ilma and Luminara are larger, with more restaurants to choose from.
Each one sails different itineraries, so the right answer usually comes down to where you want to go and when.
Yacht or Small Luxury Ship?
If you're still deciding between a yacht and a small luxury ship, here's how Ritz-Carlton compares to Explora Journeys.
