By Addie Bell Zackon, Founder, Jetset & Travel

Ready to visit the world's most sought-after destinations without the summer crowds? A new generation of yachts and ships from the world's leading ultra-luxury hotel brands is making that dream more accessible than ever. In this blog, I'm spilling the details on the 4 yachts everyone is talking about: The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, Four Seasons I, Orient Express Corinthian, and Aman Amangati, to help you decide which is right for you.

We've been partnering with each of these brands since before they set sail to give clients priority access, insider updates, and perks you won't find booking on your own.

Is the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection worth it?

Absolutely!! The Evrima is an experience like no other. The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection is the only one of the Big Four brands with a whole fleet already sailing — Evrima, Ilma (a Forbes Five-Star winner), and the flagship Luminara. I've been on the Evrima, and it was the perfectly curated experience (all about it in my blog, A First-Hand Experience on the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection). Plus, it’s the only one with a loyalty program, so if you collect Marriott Bonvoy points, this is your yacht.

Ritz-Carlton's Luminara luxury yacht — **Dining & Drinks:** All-inclusive. Don't miss S.E.A. by Sven Elverfeld (Evrima) or Seta su Ilma and Beach House by Michael Mina (Ilma/Luminara).

**Suites & Amenities:** Enjoy the signature Ritz-Carlton Spa on every ship, plus your own private terrace.

**Sailing Regions:** Europe, Asia, and the Caribbean.

**What Costs Extra:** Shore excursions, spa services, and dining at S.E.A. — but when you book through us, we’ll include a meal at S.E.A. at no extra cost!

The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection is best for the traveler who is an active explorer.

What's included on the Four Seasons I?

If you love choice, this is your yacht. Instead of all-inclusive, the Four Seasons I, which debuted in March 2026, operates à la carte — bringing that signature Four Seasons flexibility you know from land to the sea. Pricing is per suite rather than per guest, so it's an especially smart pick for couples or families traveling together. Plus, with a 1:1 staff-to-guest ratio, that means someone always knows your name and your order.

Note: this is the one yacht where dining isn't included beyond breakfast, so plan your restaurant budget accordingly. With 11 venues to try out, that flexibility is half the fun.

Which luxury yacht is best for a milestone trip?

The Orient Express Corinthian hands down. It’s the world’s largest sailing yacht at 721ft, decorated in a theatrical, art deco style by Maxime d’Angeac, and it offers experiences that money can’t buy. Picture anchorage during the Venice Film Festival, regatta access at Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez, private villa dinners, vintage car rallies, and enjoying their onboard recording studio.

**Dining & Drinks:** All-inclusive across five Michelin-level venues by Yannick Alléno (his signature venue is extra).

**Suites & Amenities:** 54 suites, six penthouse apartments, plus a jaw-dropping 15,230 sq ft top suite sleeping 22 (perfect for a landmark voyage and multi-generational families). Also a must-visit is Guerlain's first-at-sea spa.

**Sailing Regions:** French and Italian Riviera, Lisbon and Barbados, the Caribbean. Its sister ship, *Olympian,* will join the fleet June 2027.

**What Costs Extra:** Alléno's signature restaurant

**Jetset & Travel Perk:** 250€ credit per person

**Starting From:** $13,000 per suite

The Orient Express Corinthian is best for travelers who desire a one-of-a-kind journey.

Is Amangati worth booking before it launches?

Yes! Booking ahead of the Aman Amangati launch is highly recommended as inaugural-season suites are moving fast. With the lowest guest count and the smallest of the four, it’s the closest thing to a private yacht without chartering.
