Overview

Some trips mark the end of a year. This one marks the beginning of something you'll never stop talking about.

Imagine welcoming 2027 from the deck of a superyacht as the stars over Bora Bora reflect off water so clear it looks like glass. No airport chaos. No crowded hotel bars. No compromises. Just you, the South Pacific, and one of the most exclusive luxury vessels on the ocean.

The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection's Evrima carries only 298 guests... meaning your New Year's Eve celebration feels intimate, intentional, and nothing like anything you've experienced before.

Over seven nights, you'll sail roundtrip from Papeete through the most iconic islands of French Polynesia: Taha'a, Huahine, Raiatea, Bora Bora, and Mo'orea. Every port is a postcard. Every evening is an event. And every detail, from your suite to your last sip of champagne at midnight, is handled.

This is the trip you've been waiting to take. And 2027 is the year you actually take it.
