The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection's Evrima

Cigar Aficionado

|

July - August 2023

With last fall’s launch of its first “yacht,” Evrima, RitzCarlton sailed into the luxury cruising sector, mixing the intimacy and elegance of a superyacht with the service and amenities of a Ritz-Carlton resort. It’s tailor-made for the brand’s loyalists looking for a new adventure.

The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection's Evrima

If endless buffets, clanging casinos, amusement park features and cheesy lounge acts make you shudder, Evrima defies the tacky cruise clichés with a less-is-more ethos (only 624 feet long, carrying just 298 passengers) that immerses guests in tastefully designed spaces and caters to their whims with one of the highest staff-to-guest ratios at sea—it is a floating Ritz-Carlton, after all. Enthusiastic crew members are quick to learn your name and favorite cocktail.

Drive A Tank

At more than 3,000 pounds, a Chevy Malibu is a formidable vehicle with a crash-safety test rating of five-stars. But against a 60-ton Chieftain tank, it’s a mere speed bump. That is, if speed bumps came with the sound of crunched steel and shattered glass. Driving a tank that’s the weight of 20 Cadillac Escalades over a junked auto is the “Crush a Car” option of Drive A Tank, the Minnesota facility that offers customers maximal military sensations you’d otherwise have to enlist to experience.
