The Ritz-Carlton cruise ships will explore the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, and New England. Trip itineraries will offer less time at sea, and more time to explore the smaller ports.

Unlike most cruises, rooms will not be called staterooms, but rather, suites. Each will have its own private terrace.

There will be 149 suites onboard, accommodating up to 298 passengers — as well as two 138 square-meter duplex penthouse suites.
Intimate spaces will be created for dining and drinking. Guests can eat whenever they wish, rather than the traditional set meal times that are customary on cruises.

During each trip, local talent — such as chefs, artists, and guest lectures — will join for a variety of entertainment throughout the cruise.
As partnerships are still forming for day activities and excursions, prices are yet to be set.
