91 At twilight, this area transforms into an entertainment venue, with ambient floor, ceiling and table lighting. We also wanted to encourage guests to connect with the destinations that they are sailing to, so we used minimalist interior design techniques such as light colour palettes and a variety of textures to encourage guests to look outwards. I believe it’s the thoughtful touches that create a sophisticated aesthetic and feeling of a private yacht. The Marina platform is the most yacht-like feature on Evrima and is one of my favourite onboard spaces. When at anchor, guests can enjoy direct access to the sea and complimentary watersport equipment such as paddle boards, windsurf boards, kayaks and sailboats. Just a few steps above the platform, the Marina Terrace features a relaxed lounge-like atmosphere, complete with white loungers with cushions that match the navy-blue hull of the ship. We can even open the yacht’s side platforms in this space for seating right over the water’s edge. Furthermore, to deliver a truly luxurious experience, we developed some of the largest suite offerings in the luxury cruising sector. For example, our twostorey Loft Suites provide a panoramic window in a bedroom on the lower level and a large balcony off the living area on the upper level. It’s a dramatically impressive suite with one of the largest bedrooms onboard Evrima. Expanding into the cruise market has allowed us to create spaces that feel like you are walking onto a private yacht, but which offers The Ritz-Carlton luxury experience. As such, we hope that Evrima and our upcoming ships Ilma and Luminara – launching in 2024 and 2025 respectively – are reflective of the unparalleled personalised service and luxurious amenities that our brand has come to represent.
