The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection welcomes all guests on board and prioritizes the health and safety of everyone on the yacht. Guests complete a standard health declaration questionnaire prior to embarkation. Travelers experiencing symptoms of illness before their departure are advised to adjust their travel plans.
Healthy Yachting and Air Filtration Practices
Rigorous sanitation standards are maintained across the yacht to provide a clean and safe environment. Key measures include:
- Medical-Grade Sanitation: Comprehensive deep-cleaning and surface sanitization are executed across all guest suites, public venues, dining areas, and equipment.
- Air Purification: The yachts utilize microbial air purification systems and continuous fresh air filtration to ensure optimal indoor air quality.
- Hand Hygiene: Touchless hand sanitization stations are placed at prominent locations throughout the vessel.
Onboard Medical Services
Every yacht carries a dedicated Medical Center staffed by licensed medical professionals available around the clock. The onboard team provides general clinical evaluation, diagnostic services, and emergency support for guests during the voyage.
Safety Ashore and Shore Excursions
The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection works closely with local tour operators across all destinations to maintain strict safety, transport, and hygiene standards during shore excursions. Guests may participate in curated small-group tours from The Shore Collection, arrange private land experiences, or explore ports independently in accordance with local regulations.
