Cruising with Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection

I've sailed on more than 40 cruises in my career, to destinations as far flung as Japan and as close as Jamaica, on clippers with as few as 166 passengers and on mega ships with as many as 6,700.

And one of my favorites HAS to be my Caribbean cruise last February on Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection's Ilma, a sleek, sophisticated and surprisingly un-stuffy ship I wrote about for Coastal Living's Winter 2025 issue.

Pick up a copy and find out for yourself what it's like to sail on the hotel brand's luxurious second ship, where I've never felt so at home.
