Saudi Prince Muqrin bin Abdulaziz has once again reminded the world that when it comes to royal getaways, few do it with as much scale and style. The former Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia arrived in Greece earlier this week aboard his private jet, accompanied by an entourage of nearly 100 people.
The moment his aircraft touched down, a coordinated convoy of luxury vehicles was ready on the tarmac to whisk the prince and his inner circle away from the airport toward the Aegean coast, where an exclusive superyacht awaited.
The vessel in question is none other than Evrima, the first ultra-luxury yacht from the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection. Launched in 2022, Evrima marked Ritz-Carlton’s bold entry into the world of high-end maritime travel.
Designed to combine the exclusivity of a private superyacht with the comfort and sophistication of a boutique hotel, Evrima is a floating sanctuary that redefines modern cruising. With just 149 suites on board, the yacht accommodates up to 298 guests, attended by a crew of 246, offering one of the highest guest-to-crew ratios in the industry.
Currently cruising along the serene coastline of Corfu Island in Greece, Evrima is serving as the private playground of Prince Muqrin and his entourage, as reported by the Greek daily Protothema. The yacht boasts five gourmet restaurants, six lounges, a full-service gym, a Ritz-Carlton spa, and a stunning infinity pool at the stern.
There’s also a marina platform for water sports, private terraces for sunbathing, and expansive decks lined with Balinese beds. Inside, the décor blends minimalist elegance with understated luxury, featuring neutral tones and curated modern art throughout its halls. Suites on Evrima range from terrace-level retreats to expansive loft-style residences with double-height windows and private balconies.
While Tinseltown has been drawn to the Ritz-Carlton’s latest yacht, Luminara, which recently hosted a celebrity-studded preview cruise around the Tyrrhenian Sea, Evrima has quietly become the setting for a more discreet yet equally lavish affair.
Unlike Luminara, which played host to the likes of Kendall Jenner, Ricky Martin, and Martha Stewart, Evrima has been entirely reserved by the Saudi royal for his personal escape. For several days, the yacht has sailed under the Mediterranean sun without a single other guest aboard, its full range of services focused solely on the prince and his guests.
The Saudi Prince who chartered a Ritz-Carlton Yacht –
Prince Muqrin bin Abdulaziz Al Saud is no stranger to influence or the spotlight. Once the director general of Saudi Arabia’s intelligence agency, he briefly held the title of Crown Prince in early 2015, making him the second most powerful figure in the kingdom at the time. Known for his discretion and deep ties within the royal family, Muqrin is the youngest surviving son of the kingdom’s founder, King Abdulaziz. A former military aviator, he has held a series of key political and advisory roles throughout his career, including serving as a special envoy to King Abdullah and deputy crown prince under King Salman. Though he was removed from the line of succession shortly after King Salman’s accession, his continued presence in elite royal circles is evident.
This summer, that presence is being felt not in the corridors of power, but along the sparkling Greek coastline, where one of the world’s most luxurious yachts has been transformed into a temporary royal court at sea. With a crew catering to his every need and the entire vessel dedicated to his comfort, Prince Muqrin’s Aegean retreat is a reminder that in the world of quiet luxury, actions speak louder than Instagram posts.
