Evrima

1 · POSITION

Evrima is the first yacht of The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection and the smallest of its three. The collection’s own specification sheet gives 26,500 gross tons, a length of 624 feet or 190 metres, a beam of 78 feet, 149 suites, 298 guests and 246 officers and crew, over eight guest decks with public areas running from Deck 3 to Deck 10. Every suite has a private terrace. The collection dates her launch to October 2022. [1, 2]

2 · ELEVEN NAMES ON THE SUITE LADDER

The specification sheet lists The Owner’s, The View, The Loft, The Grand, The Signature Mid, The Signature, The Terrace Mid and The Terrace Suites, with Accessible, Connecting and Convertible rooms alongside them. Cruise Industry News photographed the Grand, Signature and Loft suites in April 2022 and reported that the look drew on The Ritz-Carlton Residences in Sunny Isles, Miami Beach and Los Angeles. The ladder is named rather than numbered. [1, 4]

3 · TEN PLACES TO EAT FOR 298 GUESTS

The 2019 culinary release lists The Evrima Room with a Dining Privée for ten, Mistral for seafood and steaks, Talaat Nam for Southeast Asian small plates, S.E.A. for twenty-eight guests over five courses, The Pool House, The Living Room coffee bar, The Marina Terrace open only at anchor, The Bar and in-suite dining. S.E.A. was designed by the chef Sven Elverfeld. Matthieu Godard was named culinary director and Lee Goble executive chef. [2, 3]

4 · THE YARD, THE DELAY AND THE WATER AT THE STERN

Cruise Industry News reported in April 2022 that Evrima was being finished at the Astander shipyard in Spain and was set to launch that August after a number of delays; the collection dates the launch to October 2022. Watersports are offered from the marina while the yacht lies at anchor. The spa menu is drawn from 111SKIN and ESPA. The collection counts five dining options aboard. [2, 4]

5 · ⚑ CANDOUR

⚑ The counts do not agree. The 2019 release names ten places to eat and drink; the collection’s later statements speak of five dining options, which appears to count restaurants only. An April 2022 report expected an August launch against the collection’s October. Astander is described as finishing her, not as building her, and no source listed here names her original yard or her interior designer. The crew figure is officers and crew, not a ratio, and belongs to Evrima alone. [1–4]
