The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection military discount is 5% off the cruise fare on every voyage — the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, Alaska, Asia and the South Pacific, on Evrima, Ilma and Luminara. The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection does not offer a military rate of its own, so Military Cruise Deals provides it, and it comes off after Ritz-Carlton’s current promotions. Active duty, retirees, veterans, military spouses, and friends and family in other suites all qualify.
Updated October 2026 by Mitch Bank, owner of Military Cruise Deals — booking military and veteran cruises since 2001.

How Much Is the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection Military Discount?
Our discount is 5% off the cruise fare on every Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection voyage — no exceptions, no blackout sailings.
Because Ritz-Carlton is all-inclusive luxury, 5% adds up fast.
| Ritz-Carlton voyage | Typical fare per guest | Your 5% discount | Savings for two |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-night Caribbean getaway (Ilma, from San Juan) | ~$2,900 | ~$145 | ~$290 |
| 7-night Caribbean (Ilma) | ~$7,800 | ~$390 | ~$780 |

| 7-night Mediterranean | ~$10,500 | ~$525 | ~$1,050 |
| 7-night Baltic | ~$12,300 | ~$615 | ~$1,230 |
Fares are Ritz-Carlton’s published “from” prices per person, double occupancy, for an entry-level Terrace Suite as of October 2026. Larger suites save even more.
And it comes off after Ritz-Carlton’s own promotions are applied — not instead of them.

Our 5% Ritz-Carlton military discount applies on top of them. You get Ritz-Carlton’s best available rate, then our discount comes off that.
