New Wave Luxury: Cruising Done Differently
NEW YORK (PRWEB) November 20, 2018 -- The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, a new cruise line from one of the leaders in luxury travel, is setting its sights high as it readies for the debut of its first of three custom-built yachts in February 2020. Recently, Lisa Holladay, Global Brand Leader for The Ritz-Carlton, and Douglas Prothero, CEO of The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, teamed with YourUpdateTV to discuss this exciting new cruise.

Designed to combine the luxury lifestyle of The Ritz-Carlton hotels and resorts and the casual freedom of a yachting vacation, The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection will distinguish Marriott International and The Ritz-Carlton as the only provider of luxury accommodations both on land and at sea.
As travelers continue to search for more authentic, bespoke experiences, small ship cruising offers many appeals. These yachts will feel intimate and offer a highly personalized experience to guests, while also providing access to smaller ports that can’t be reached by larger ships.
With a leisurely cruising style, the legendary service of The Ritz-Carlton, and ports at sought after destinations around the world, The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection will deliver one-of-a-kind experiences to its guests onboard and transform the luxury cruising industry.
