Step aboard with Eva Longoria as she shows Architectural Digest what makes The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection unlike the rest.   In this exclusive behind-the-scenes look, Eva invites us into a space where craftsmanship, design, and hospitality converge. With all suite accommodations, private terraces, curated experiences, and personalized service, this is more than a voyage—it’s a reimagining of travel at sea.   From elegant interiors to destination-inspired cuisine, The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection sets a new benchmark for bespoke travel—a journey for those who value space, serenity, and sophistication.

We had the honor of hosting an exclusive preview voyage aboard Luminara, the newest addition to our superyacht fleet. Over three remarkable days, a select group of creators, partners, and executives joined us for a journey through the Mediterranean—featuring daytime activations, immersive art tours, chef-led culinary demos by Michael Mina and Fabio Trabocchi, and lively evening entertainment. A defining moment of the voyage was the christening of Luminara by actress Simone Ashley, who was named the official Godmother of Luminara in a ceremony at sea. Departing from Barcelona with stops in Palma de Mallorca and Rome, Luminara will sail through the Mediterranean now and continue its journey to the Maldives and Asia Pacific—bringing thoughtfully curated travel experiences to guests around the world. A special thank you to our partners who made this voyage unforgettable: Planning: Ashley Pigott Events Floral & Design: Birch Event Design Entertainment & Immersive: ÉLAN ARTISTS Photography: Scott Clark Video: DC Film Co Activations: ESPA International, 111SKIN, Etnia Barcelona, Abbode, Chris Corsini, Sanne Vloet

Step aboard Luminara — where every space tells a story.   Be among the first to discover Luminara’s newly unveiled public spaces—designed to immerse guests in the beauty of the sea and foster meaningful connections.   Unwind at the Art Bar, a serene indoor-outdoor haven with panoramic views and a tranquil atmosphere. Indulge in ocean breezes from our whirlpools or retreat into the new Residential Suite, a spacious sanctuary that feels like home at sea.   Today marks Luminara’s inaugural journey, setting sail from Monte Carlo with stops in Cannes, Corsica, Livorno, and Portofino—ushering in a new era of refined exploration.

A new chapter begins at sea. On June 3, 2025, Luminara, the third ultra-luxury superyacht from The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, officially joined our fleet during a ceremonial handover at the Chantiers de l'Atlantique shipyard in Saint-Nazaire, France. This momentous delivery marks the result of a multi-year collaboration with the world-renowned shipbuilder. As Ernesto Fara, President of The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, shared: “The arrival of Luminara marks a significant moment for The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection as we continue to shape the future of ultra-luxury travel at sea. With striking architecture and thoughtfully designed interiors, Luminara represents the passion and shared commitment to excellence that define both our brand and our close working relationship with Chantiers de l’Atlantique.” With Captain Magnus Bengtsson at the helm, Luminara will embark on its maiden Mediterranean voyage on July 3, sailing from Monte Carlo to Rome.

Onboard Luminara, every space is an expression of thoughtful design and elevated experience. Guests are invited to savor destination-inspired cuisine at Azur on Luminara, indulge in Michelin-starred Italian dining at Seta su Luminara, or explore bold Pan-Asian flavors at Haesu Bit. From the Mediterranean charm of Mistral to the vibrant notes of Middle Eastern cuisine at Beach House, each restaurant tells a story of place and palate. Beyond the table, moments unfold across oceanfront terraces, a curated boutique, a tranquil spa, and gathering spaces brought to life through art, music, and conversation. Whether enjoying cocktails on the Marina Terrace or live performances at Art Bar, Luminara offers a journey that extends far beyond the itinerary.
