EXPERT ANSWERS

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about planning your voyage on The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection.

Why should I book through Aimee Byrd instead of directly with Ritz-Carlton? +
Booking direct gives you only standard rates without extra perks. Because Aimee Byrd holds top-tier Marriott STARS Top Producer status and Vincent Vacations is affiliated with the Signature Travel Network, you receive exclusive complimentary amenities—including $150–$300+ in onboard credits, chilled champagne upon arrival, and highest-priority upgrade clearance. Best of all, Aimee's specialized advisory services are 100% complimentary.
Do I earn Marriott Bonvoy points and Elite Night Credits? +
Yes! Because Aimee books directly through the authorized Marriott STARS program, your Marriott Bonvoy number is attached directly to the yacht reservation. You will earn Marriott Bonvoy base points on your cruise fare, earn 1 Elite Night Credit for every calendar night on board, and enjoy your standard elite recognition perks.
What is included in the cruise fare on The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection? +
Voyages are truly all-inclusive. Your fare includes an oceanview terrace suite with private veranda, a dedicated Personal Concierge, all fine dining options (including 24-hour in-suite dining), premium alcoholic beverages, fine wines, coffees and juices, non-motorized water sports from the aft marina platform, high-speed streaming Wi-Fi, and all shipboard gratuities and port taxes.
How far in advance should I book my yacht voyage? +
Because Evrima, Ilma, and Luminara only carry between 298 and 452 guests, suites sell out far more rapidly than conventional cruise ships—often 9 to 18 months ahead of departure. Upper-tier suites like the Owner's, View, and Signature Suites, as well as Mediterranean peak-season itineraries, frequently sell out on the day bookings open to Marriott STARS advisors. Booking with Aimee gives you early access before waitlists close.
Can Aimee help with pre-cruise hotels and private air/transfers? +
Absolutely. Aimee coordinates full end-to-end luxury door-to-door itineraries, including pre- and post-cruise stays at iconic Ritz-Carlton, St. Regis, and Luxury Collection properties through Marriott STARS (granting complimentary daily breakfast for two, $100 hotel credits, and room upgrades), as well as VIP airport transfers and private yacht excursions.
