Luxury on a Smaller Scale

Yacht-style ships carry a few hundred guests or fewer, slip into small harbors big ships cannot reach, and often stay late or overnight in port.

Hotel brands at sea

The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection sails superyachts in the Mediterranean and Caribbean, and other luxury hotel brands, including Four Seasons and Aman, have announced yachts of their own.

Sailing yachts

Masted ships from lines such as Windstar and Star Clippers offer a relaxed, casual luxury under sail.

Small luxury ships

Seabourn, Silversea and Scenic’s “discovery yachts” bring luxury to smaller ports and remote coasts.
