What It’s Like to Work on Some of the World’s Most Luxurious Superyachts | Condé Nast Traveler

"Operating as a luxurious fleet that deliberately aims not to feel like a traditional cruise line, the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection carries roughly 450 guests across 10 decks and focuses on delivering a yacht-like, highly personalized experience rather than big-ship anonymity. I note that the line sails to glamorous and lesser-visited ports (Monte Carlo, Hong Kong, Virgin Gorda, Bora Bora) with itineraries spanning the South Pacific, Mediterranean, Caribbean, Asia, Alaska, and Northern Europe. Benic joined the company in October 2024 as Safety Officer and has since risen to Staff Captain, describing duties that include overseeing nautical operations, managing crew human resources, and checking in with guests; the line’s emphasis on intimate, guest-centered service is repeatedly highlighted." - Ashlea Halpern
