Lenders pushed back repayment dates and waived covenants as The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection "struggles" with low occupancies, according to the Financial Times.
Last year RCYC indicated it does not expect to be profitable until 2027.
FT.com reported Crédit Agricole agreed to defer $171m of Ilma and Luminara payments, extending the respective loans from December 2025 to January 2028 and from December 2027 to January 2033.
The French bank, RCYC's biggest creditor with $918m of debt outstanding, agreed to waive covenants related to borrowing levels subject to conditions such as shareholder funding commitments. FT.com said the holders — Oaktree Capital Management, Singapore wealth fund GIC and Mohari Hospitality — will provide $275m of fresh equity.
Oaktree holds a 55% stake, the Scheinberg family's Mohari Hospitality 30% and the Singapore government 15%.
Ilma and Luminara were built at Chantiers de l'Atlantique, with Luminara entering service in July 2025 and Ilma in September 2024.
In addition, a syndicate of Spanish banks led by CaixaBank agreed to delay a $299m payment for Evrima that was due at the end of 2025, according to FT.com.
Built in Spain, Evrima entered service in October 2022 following numerous construction delays.
In 2023, RCYC's then-CEO and Executive Chairman Jim Murren told Seatrade Cruise News the company planned eight to 10 ships for multiple Marriott International brands and aspired to go public in the next three to four years.
