The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection Unveils Luminara’s Asia-Pacific Voyages
The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection has officially launched Luminara, the newest superyacht in its fleet, which made its maiden voyage in July 2025.
Expanding the boundaries of ultra-luxury cruising, Luminara will introduce itineraries to the Asia-Pacific region in December 2025 and Alaska in May 2026, marking The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection’s first ventures into these culturally rich and visually stunning destinations, unlocking unparalleled opportunities for discovery and connection.
The launch of Luminara represents a significant milestone for The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, which debuted Evrima in 2022 and Ilma in 2024.
Luminara, inspired by the Latin word for “light,” is a 242-metre superyacht designed to illuminate the ultra-luxury yachting experience. Hosting up to 452 guests in 226 distinguished suites, each with private terraces and ocean views, it boasts world-class dining, a Ritz-Carlton Spa® and a marina for watersports and sea access.
Lyn from our Claremont office recently stepped aboard Luminara, The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection’s newest superyacht.
“Firstly, the ship and cruise experience far exceeded my expectations. I knew it would be high quality, however, having cruised on many “luxury” ships, I was not prepared for the extra level of quality, service and attention to detail. It was definitely worthwhile having this super yacht experience as I see the value in choosing RCYC as a very special cruise experience. The crew are so very important and words and photos cannot convey the warm, genuine hospitality on board.”
