From in-suite amenities to onshore experiences, this partnership creates a unique fusion of Italian artistry and sophisticated travel, providing a deeply immersive vacation for luxury enthusiasts.
A Curated Experience of Luxury and Elegance
“Starboard Luxury is excited to bring together two iconic names, Bvlgari and The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, to offer an extraordinary experience tailored for the most discerning travelers,” said Stacy Shaw, Senior Vice President of Starboard Luxury & Resorts. “This is an exceptional opportunity for guests to explore Bvlgari’s stunning creations while voyaging to some of the world’s most coveted destinations aboard a remarkable yacht.”
The Bvlgari boutique aboard Ilma has been designed to capture the essence of the brand’s flagship boutiques, combining Roman elegance and contemporary flair. The boutique offers a handpicked selection of Bvlgari’s finest collections, including Serpenti, B.zero1, Divas’ Dream, and Octo. Guests can indulge in a range of bespoke experiences, from private viewings to personalized shopping appointments, either onboard or during curated shore excursions. Private shopping appointments can even be reserved ahead of time, allowing for a seamless, customized experience from the moment the guest steps aboard Ilma.
Onboard and Onshore Activations
Bvlgari’s presence aboard Ilma is not confined to the boutique. Throughout each voyage, guests will have the opportunity to engage in exclusive, bespoke experiences that showcase the brand’s rich history and craftsmanship. These include in-depth presentations by Bvlgari representatives and personalized sessions tailored to introduce guests to the heritage and artistry behind the brand’s luxurious jewelry, watches, and accessories.
Highlighting the unique partnership between the two luxury powerhouses, culinary events hosted by world-class chefs, as well as immersive shoreside adventures, will offer guests a deeper connection to Bvlgari’s Italian roots. These exclusive experiences will unfold throughout Ilma‘s inaugural season, making each voyage a blend of adventure and high-end luxury.
