LNG-fuelled propulsion for Ritz-Carlton superyachts
The superyachts will be built by Chantiers de l’Atlantique in Sant-Nazaire, France, with an option for additional vessels. Each vessel will be fitted with four dual-fuel engines and use LNG as the main fuel source. Additionally, the yachts will include advanced water treatment systems, an efficient heat recovery loop, and LED lighting.
The vessels feature the highest space ratios at sea, with 228 suites, each with its own private terrace, and will offer a high percentage of larger suites, with two new, spacious upper suite categories measuring up to 100 square meters (1,076 square feet) in size.
Both vessels will showcase modern craftsmanship and interior finishes imagined by London-based architect and design firm, AD Associates, and award-winning lighting designer, DPA. Finland-based yacht stylist, Aivan, developed the exterior design of the newbuilds, taking inspiration from the elegant aesthetics of private yacht design.
“Chantiers de l’Atlantique is very proud to design and build these medium size – ultra luxury cruise vessels and initiate a new partnership with The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection. These ships will provide the highest quality standards and comfort level to their guests and simultaneously be at the forefront of environmental performances,” said Laurent Castaing, General Manager of Chantiers de l’Atlantique.
The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection is preparing to launch its first superyacht, Evrima, this summer.
The new superyachts will feature itineraries ranging from seven to 10 nights in the Caribbean and Mediterranean. They will also be available for private charter.
