Not directly comparable
The observed medians use different quote units. Keep Explora's available suite total, double occupancy separate from Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection's ritz suite fare per guest until a supported normalization exists.
Explora: 664 priced sailings, $684 per cabin, per night median.
Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection: 231 priced sailings, $1,633 per unit, per night median.
No direct price winner is published for different or unproved quote units.
Bottom line
Different quote units prevent a direct price winner
Explora's observed median is $684/night on its available suite total, double occupancy basis; Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection's is $1,633/night on its ritz suite fare per guest basis. Those quote units do not support a direct price winner without a verified normalization.
Each observed price remains useful on its own published basis, but the two amounts are not like-for-like.
