Porcelain at Sea

Luxury travel is increasingly shaped by details that sit somewhere between hospitality, design and ritual. Not only where one goes, but how a space feels once there.
The new collaboration between The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection and Ginori 1735 sits exactly in that space.
Aboard Evrima, the collection’s first yacht, Ginori 1735 has introduced its Ginori Terrace concept at sea for the first time. Until now, the idea was more closely associated with luxury hotels. Here, it moves into a nautical setting, spreading across three outdoor areas and turning parts of the yacht into a floating study in colour, craft and leisure.
What makes the project interesting is not simply the presence of a heritage porcelain house on a yacht. It is the way tableware, textiles, colour and setting are treated as part of one visual language.
At The Pool House on deck five, Ginori’s Azzurro palette brings together sky blues and deeper teal tones. The effect is clear but not flat: a continuation of the sea, the pool and the horizon rather than a decorative interruption.
On deck eight, the Mediterranean restaurant Mistral takes a warmer direction. The Mandarino palette moves through orange, coral and blush, bringing a softer energy to the open-air dining space. The setting is built around pieces from Il Viaggio di Nettuno, Ginori 1735’s porcelain collection designed by Luke Edward Hall, where mythological figures and marine creatures turn the table into a small narrative of its own.
The Ginori Terrace aboard Evrima says something about the current direction of luxury hospitality. The experience is no longer built only around service or setting. It is increasingly built through visual memory.
