VACCINATION CERTIFICATION
All guests and employees must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 at least two weeks prior to boarding the yacht. Acceptable proof of COVID-19 vaccination must be in the form of the original vaccination record document issued by the country’s health authority. Photographs of a vaccination card will not be accepted. Approved vaccines include Pfizer/BionTech, Moderna, Johnson & Johnson and AstraZeneca/Oxford.
The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection welcomes families to sail with us. Children ages five years and older are required to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 in order to sail. Children under the age of five and ineligible to be vaccinated will be permitted to sail, on the condition that they follow testing requirements.
TESTING REQUIREMENTS
With the continual evolution of testing requirements for international travel, we recommend that guests familiarise themselves with the government public health website for their country of entry to ensure any additional requirements are met before departure. At this time, guests will be required to provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test taken no more than 72 hours prior to boarding the yacht. In addition, guests will be required to take a complimentary COVID-19 test at the time of check-in and may be asked to periodically undergo testing throughout the voyage at the discretion of The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection. Departure tests will be offered as a convenience for guests in order to fulfil any requirements needed for their post-voyage travels. Guests booked on consecutive voyages will be required to take a COVID-19 test prior to the start of each subsequent voyage.
HEALTHY SAILING BEST PRACTICES
In this new age of travel, we expect to implement health and safety protocols that we have become increasingly accustomed to such as touchless temperature checks and highly visible sanitation efforts throughout the yacht. While face coverings will be mandatory for all employees, face coverings for guests will be required in public spaces, terminals and shore excursions and we will adjust the policy as regulations and local requirements allow. As customary with cruise travel, guests will also be required to complete a health questionnaire prior to boarding. By design, the yacht offers one of the highest space ratios at sea, which will allow for physical distancing in public spaces onboard where possible.
CONTACT TRACING AND ISOLATION PROTOCOLS
In the event that a guest tests positive during their voyage, the Medical, Guest Services and Security teams will employ a comprehensive process to pinpoint and trace guests and/or employees who have been in close contact. Individuals identified as a close contact will be asked to remain in their suite and cooperate in completing the contact tracing and testing protocol. Guests who test positive must self-isolate in their suite and a complimentary second test will be provided. If those traveling in the same suite as the guest do not test positive, alternative accommodations will be offered, where available. Every effort will be made to ensure the care and comfort of any guest under suite isolation.
SAFETY ASHORE
To ensure a more controlled environment in the destinations we visit, The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection highly recommends that guests participate in the tours offered in The Shore Collection program. By design, tours are offered in intimate group sizes or can be transformed into private experiences. We are also working closely with our operators to ensure the tour guides guests interact with, transportation vehicles utilised, and venues visited ashore align with the same health and safety protocols that we employ on board the yacht. We do foresee that guests will be permitted to go ashore independently to explore on their own or on an organised tour dependent on regional and local regulations.
TRAVEL INSURANCE
For added peace of mind and to safeguard your investment, travel insurance is highly recommended. The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection Travel Protection Program (available to U.S. residents only) is a package of travel insurance coverage and non-insurance emergency assistance services designed to meet the particular needs of our guests. One benefit is that the program reimburses you for cancellation penalties or provides reimbursement for the unused portion of your trip should it be interrupted, when you are forced to cancel or interrupt your trip due to a covered reason. COVID-19 is a covered sickness under The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection Travel Protection Program. In the event that you become unexpectedly ill before your trip, the plan may reimburse you for charges that are assessed due to cancellation.
Find peace of mind on board, knowing that every detail of your surroundings has been considered. From in-suite espresso machines and premium beverages to small bites all hours of the day, higher-tier mini luxuries are yours to enjoy with our compliments.
THE RITZ-CARLTON YACHT COLLECTION ALL-INCLUSIVE EXPERIENCE

YOUR ALL-INCLUSIVE FARE INCLUDES:
EXTRAORDINARY ON LAND. AMAZING AT SEA.
Of all the remarkable destinations you’ll sail to, the yacht itself may become your favourite — especially after a day ashore. The steward welcomes you with a cold towel to wipe off the heat. The attendant hands you chilled mint water on the way to your suite. With almost as many staff members as guests, every wish — even wishful thinking – is our command. With service so intuitive and with such an unwavering commitment to detail, you’ll enjoy a sense of freedom that is quite extraordinary at sea, relaxed and at ease, far removed from your everyday world.
The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection service embodies true hospitality for an untethered voyage. Allow our service professionals to conduct a symphony of services for a truly remarkable luxury cruise experience.

The Personal Concierge is your single onboard touchpoint to ensure a flawless, seamless journey from beginning to end.
Allow our Personal Concierge to assist in the orchestration of all planning for your voyage from the smallest details to grandiose plans, so you can focus on what truly matters – relaxing and enjoying the journey. Your wish, whether it be to distill your own perfume in France or to seek adventures in the Fjords, is our command. Allow our Personal Concierge to flawlessly plan every request.
The Ritz-Carlton® Gold Standard
With an everlasting credo and unwavering commitment to service, The Ritz-Carlton® has been recognised with numerous awards that illustrate our embodiment of what it means to set the precedent of hospitality worldwide – and now equally extraordinary at sea.

Group and private transfers can be arranged as early as 300 days prior to sailing or onboard the yacht for an additional fee. Transfers between the airport and the pier, or between the pier and the hotel are available on embarkation and debarkation days to allow for a stress-free experience.
Extend your luxury cruise experience with thoughtfully orchestrated hotel packages that give you access to a curated selection of hotels in each destination, including The Ritz-Carlton and Marriott luxury properties worldwide. Your Reservation Services Agent can seamlessly arrange your pre- and post-voyage hotel stays and special events, creating the perfect complement to your voyage. Additional amenities in this program include daily breakfast, luggage handling, and convenient group transfers between the hotel and pier.
Allow us to take care of your air travel, customised and coordinated with the yacht's schedule. Select your preferred flights, airlines, and even stopovers, with our fully flexible air program as early as 300 days prior to date of sailing. Private jet service can also be arranged. Should the yacht’s schedule change, your flights will be changed, and any necessary hotel overnights arranged at no cost. Additional benefits assist you in reaching the yacht in the event of a flight delay.
The dress code on board the yacht reflects the luxury lifestyle of The Ritz-Carlton® and casual freedom of a yachting vacation. During the day for breakfast and lunch, the dress code is Yacht Casual, where shirts, shoes, and bathing suit cover-ups are required when not at the pool. During the evening for dinner, bathing suits and sleeveless t-shirts are not permitted and shirts and shoes are required throughout the yacht. In our specialty dining restaurant by Sven Elverfeld, the dress code is Yacht Sophisticated - collared shirts are not required but highly recommended. There are no formal nights on board.
The Guest Launderette is located on Deck 9 midship. Due to safety reasons, irons are not allowed in guest suites; however, the Guest Launderette features irons and steamers for guest use. A range of dry cleaning and laundry services are available upon request through our Suite Attendants at an additional cost.
A trained physician is on call 24 hours a day. The professional services of this physician, as well as certain medications, are available on board at reasonable costs. If you require ongoing medication, or have specific dietary needs, you should bring an ample supply of medications or dietary supplements with you in your hand-carried luggage.
Families exploring the world together are welcome aboard The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection. With its own dedicated space on board, Ritz Kids is an educational and fun-filled program that encourages children ages four to 12 to explore the world around them. Three sessions will be offered: morning, afternoon and evening. The morning and afternoon sessions are $45 USD per child per session, and the evening session is $65 USD per child per session. Enhanced programming will be available during holidays and summer months.
