Lisbon 2026 Sailings with Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection: Explore Luxury on the Atlantic
Curated by Stars Desk – Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection Top Producer 2025 & Leading Marriott STARS Agency
Lisbon, Portugal, is a city of light, culture, and historic charm—and in 2026, the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection invites travelers to experience it from a perspective few have seen: the open sea. Combining world-class service with luxurious, intimate accommodations, the yacht collection provides a unique gateway to the Atlantic and Mediterranean.
At Stars Desk, we specialize in curating the most exquisite Ritz-Carlton Yacht experiences. Our expertise ensures that every sailing—from Lisbon to Barcelona, back to Lisbon, or across the Atlantic to Miami—is more than a cruise: it’s a personalized journey of luxury, culture, and discovery.
Why Choose Lisbon as Your Cruise Gateway
Lisbon, perched on Portugal’s sun-kissed Atlantic coast, is a city that balances old-world charm with modern vibrancy. Its cobbled streets wind through pastel-colored neighborhoods, historic trams climb steep hills, and panoramic viewpoints showcase the sparkling Tagus River below.
From a Ritz-Carlton Yacht, Lisbon becomes even more enchanting. Imagine departing the city at sunset, the warm glow reflecting off the river and the iconic Belém Tower. It’s the perfect start to a multi-day luxury voyage, where every detail—from your suite’s amenities to curated shore excursions—is designed for comfort, elegance, and immersion.

What Makes the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection Exceptional
Luxury is not just about surroundings—it’s about experience. The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection elevates the traditional cruise by offering:
1. Intimate, Spacious Accommodations
With fewer than 300 suites aboard Ilma and Evrima, guests enjoy personalized service and privacy rarely found on conventional cruise ships. Suites include expansive terraces, indulgent bathrooms, and state-of-the-art amenities that transform every moment at sea into a retreat.
2. Personalized Service
Every guest benefits from a dedicated Butler Signature Service, ensuring seamless dining reservations, shore excursion bookings, and any special request—from champagne on your terrace to arranging private city tours.
3. Gourmet Dining Experiences
From fresh local seafood to Michelin-inspired menus, dining on the Ritz-Carlton Yacht is as much a voyage as the destinations themselves. Flexible options allow for intimate meals in your suite or curated culinary journeys at the yacht’s signature restaurant.
4. Exclusive Shore Experiences
Ritz-Carlton curated excursions take guests beyond ordinary tourist experiences. In Lisbon, explore Alfama’s winding streets with a local historian, sip port wine in the scenic Douro Valley, or visit Sintra’s palaces and gardens for a day immersed in Portugal’s royal heritage.
