The Ritz-Carlton
Yacht Collection is sharing its lineup of Winter 2026-2027 Caribbean season
sailings aboard the luxury-at-sea Ilma.
From November 2026 through April 2027, the yacht will sail
more than 20 crafted itineraries from three to seven nights. An expanded
selection of shorter three-and-four-night escapes enables travelers to
experience the Caribbean in spacious suite accommodations with world-class
cuisine and personalized service. Measuring 790 feet (241 meters), Ilma
accommodates up to 448 guests in 224 suites, each with a private terrace
offering uninterrupted sea views.
For
the first time, Miami will join San Juan as a new embarkation point with numerous
flight options and the port just 15 minutes from Miami International Airport.
“The winter season is a meaningful time for travel, when
many of our guests are looking to celebrate the holidays or escape to warmer
shores,” said Ernesto Fara, President of The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection in a
statement.
He added, “Our 2026–2027 Caribbean voyages aboard Ilma offer
the freedom to design a journey perfectly suited to the occasion, with
departures from Miami and San Juan creating a flexible, immersive way to
