Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection is the luxury cruise line associated with Marriott. One of the cool things about Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection is how the cruise line belongs to Marriott Bonvoy, so in this post, I’d like to go over the details of how that works in practice, given that I just took my first voyage with the company, so have some firsthand experience to share.
Note that while Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection has the Ritz-Carlton name, it has very little to do with Marriott — this is primarily a licensing agreement, and the cruise line isn’t owned by Marriott. Fortunately part of that agreement includes loyalty perks.
Before we do, let me just mention that you can take advantage of the Bonvoy perks regardless of whether you book direct or through a travel advisor.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
