R-C opts for Azora

RITZ-CARLTON Yacht Collection has revealed the name of its first vessel, the Azora.

The name is derived from the Spanish word for blue, azul, and will be carried by the 298-passenger luxury yacht when it makes its debut in early 2020 (TD 16 Oct).

“We wanted to select a name that embodies the wanderlust of a luxury journey at sea and inspires travellers to dream of their next destination,” said the line’s CEO Doug Prothero.

“Azora, which evokes the beauty of the sky and ocean, does both.”
