The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection has announced its expansion into the Asia-Pacific region with Luminara, offering 10 new journeys between December 2025 and May 2026. These voyages will explore 28 ports across 10 countries, including Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Japan, Thailand and beyond.
The 10 new journeys range from 10 to 15 nights and depart from either Tokyo, Hong Kong or Singapore. Itineraries will include stops in ports such as Hạ Long Bay in Vietnam and Puerto Princesa in the Philippines.
Here are a few highlights of the new itineraries:
- During the 14-night Singapore to Hong Kong voyage, toast the New Year with a celebration aboard Luminara and relax on the beaches of Koh Samui before sailing for an overnight stay in Bangkok. Vietnam tells tales of history in the subterranean Cu Chi Tunnels outside Ho Chi Minh City and in the capital of Hanoi, which can be explored during a stay in Hạ Long Bay.
- The 12-night Hong Kong to Singapore voyage explores the islands of the Philippines, including the forested mountains and white sand beaches of Busuanga, El Nido and Puerto Princesa. The itinerary also visits the island of Borneo with its beaches and Bako National Park near Kuching which is home to proboscis monkeys.
- The 10-night Tokyo round-trip voyage visits Japan during cherry blossom season, when the blooms blanket the grounds of Osaka Castle and accent the views of Mount Sakurajima from Kagoshima. This voyage also calls on UNESCO World Heritage Sites ranging from the floating shrine and peace memorial of Hiroshima to the remains of Christian castles and cathedrals in the Nagasaki region.
- The 12-night Tokyo to Hong Kong voyage explores Osaka, while the UNESCO-listed castles of Himeji, Nara and Kyoto are also nearby. South Korea’s capital of Seoul has its own UNESCO palaces along with traditional villages offering authentic cuisine and crafts. During an overnight in Shanghai, guests can experience a performance of the ancient art of acrobatics before sailing for Hong Kong.
Guests can also choose from Select Group Excursions, Pre-Designed Private Excursions or Custom Private Excursions. Whether kite boarding in the Philippines, exploring the street food in Thailand, whitewater rafting in Malaysia or discovering museums in Vietnam, guests are encouraged to customize their journey from the leisurely to the more adventurous.
Luminara will offer 226 suites, accommodating up to 452 guests. It will also offer itineraries in the Mediterranean during its inaugural launch season.
