The 456-guest ship will enter service in September 2024, starting at US$6,800 per person.

Following the success of the hospitality giant’s first floating hotel launch, the Ilma will offer equal levels of unparalleled service and amenities to cater to the world’s elite travellers.

Here’s a peek inside the new floating hotel.

It’s launching in 2024

If you’re looking to travel on the upcoming Ilma, you’ll have to be patient.

The cruise ship – which the brand affectionately calls a “superyacht” – won’t enter service until 2024. The Ilma’s pool deck will have plenty of lounge chairs for days at sea and will embark on its first six Mediterranean sailings in September 2024, with prices starting at US$6,800 per person.

All of the accommodation aboard the upcoming vessel will have balconies. The Ilma will have a second pool above the marina.
