The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection Reveals New Luminara Details

The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection has revealed new details of its third yacht, Luminara, which is launching this July in Monte Carlo.

The vessel, which spans 794 feet in length, will accommodate up to 452 guests in 226 suites that marry warm walnut woods and striking marble, with a palette of soft blues, greys, and deep ocean hues, accented with bronze and subtle ruby tones. A hallmark across the fleet, each suite will open onto a private terrace.

“With Luminara, we’ve raised the bar once again, uniting legendary service, elevated design, and an extraordinary onboard experience to further define our distinct approach to ultra-luxury travel at sea,” said Ernesto Fara, president of The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection. “This remarkable superyacht opens the door to new destinations and deeper guest experiences, reinforcing our commitment to thoughtful exploration and continuous innovation across the fleet.”

Expertly curated art throughout the yacht will comprise 731 pieces, with approximately 65% commissioned specifically for the yacht. Works by renowned artists, among them Paul Klee, David Hockney, Alexander Calder, Henri Matisse, Gerhard Richter, and Andy Warhol will be displayed throughout the yacht, creating an unmatched ambiance for both inspired discussions and quiet reflection. The standout piece will be a stunning seven-story suspended light sculpture that will illuminate the aft staircase atrium.

Luminara Dining

Dining aboard Luminara will carry forward The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection’s commitment to world-class culinary excellence. The yacht will host five dining venues, two shaped by James Beard award winners and Michelin-starred restaurant chefs Fabio Trabocchi and Michael Mina. 

Seta su Luminara, in collaboration with Trabocchi, will feature an eight-course tasting menu alongside an à la carte selection of modern Italian cuisine inspired by Venice’s historic spice trade. At Beach House, created with Mina, guests will savor vibrant Middle Eastern and Mediterranean flavors, rooted in the chef’s Egyptian heritage.

Additional concepts include Azur on Luminara, with regionally influenced menus centered on seasonal ingredients; Haesu Bit, a pan-Asian concept incorporating flavors from destinations Luminara will visit; and Mistral, which will capture the spirit of Mediterranean coastal dining through fresh seafood and expertly grilled meats.

Luminara will also have seven bars, notably the new Art Bar, where guests can indulge in craft cocktails and regional sweet delights amid a striking installation of Cycladic art.

Luminara’s Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection Signature Amenities

Luminara will feature an expansive Marina, Marina Terrace, and Marina Beach, all anchored by a floating lounge platform with a central pool where guests can swim directly in the sea. A panoramic pool area on Deck 10 will invite relaxation with a main pool and two Jacuzzis.

The wellness journey will continue at The Ritz-Carlton Spa with nourishing treatments from ESPA, 111SKIN, and Pisterzi. Home to eleven treatment rooms, the spa will present a selection of treatments inspired by the yacht’s Asia-Pacific itineraries.

The luxury retail experience aboard Luminara, curated in partnership with Starboard Luxury, will be expanded, with dedicated retail spaces for Cartier, IWC Schaffhausen, and Piaget, all making their debut with The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection.

New Destinations for The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection

Following its inaugural Mediterranean season, Luminara will chart new waters for The Ritz-Carlton as it sails to Africa and the Indian Ocean before beginning Asia-Pacific itineraries in December 2025. Beginning in May 2026, Luminara will then spend the summer in Alaska and Canada.
