The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection has unveiled its winter 2026-27 itineraries, introducing an expanded portfolio of luxury yachting experiences across French Polynesia, Hawaii and Asia-Pacific aboard Evrima and Luminara. Sailing from October 2026 through April 2027, the season will comprise 32 new voyages. Reservations for winter 2026-27 itineraries are now open.
Marking a milestone for the brand, Evrima will make its debut in the South Pacific with a series of sailings through the islands of French Polynesia, visiting destinations such as Bora Bora, Mo’orea and Huahine. Voyages will also explore the Hawaiian Islands, with calls in Honolulu, Maui (Kahului), Hilo and Kona. Visiting 10 new ports in Asia, Luminara will encounter the biodiversity and artisan traditions of Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and beyond throughout Asia-Pacific.
French Polynesia and Hawaii
Evrima will embark on its first-ever season in Polynesia with 13 voyages ranging from seven to 12 nights, sailing from Hawaii and calling on a diverse array of destinations including Raiatea, Bora Bora, Fanning Island in Kiribati and the Hawaiian Islands.
The yacht’s intimate size allows access to smaller ports and anchorages. In addition, calm, well-protected waters often make it possible to deploy the Marina, offering direct access to the region’s waters for swimming, lounging and a range of water sports. Cultural immersion is also woven throughout each itinerary, with opportunities to experience traditional Polynesian dance performances, visit sacred Marae sites and savor guided tastings of regional fare. Further, the ancestral craftsmanship of island communities comes to life through shoreside workshops in wood carving, tapa cloth painting and shell jewelry making.
Asia-Pacific
Following its inaugural sailings in Asia-Pacific in winter 2025, Luminara will return to the region for an expanded season of 19 voyages in winter 2026-27. Presenting enriched itineraries across the Philippines, Indonesia and Japan, the series will introduce 10 new ports, including Cebu, Philippines; Naha, Ta’aktana and Semarang in Indonesia; and Miyazaki, Japan.
These winter sailings deliver a mix of urban hubs, such as Okinawa and Ho Chi Minh, as well as remote gems, like Komodo and Belitung in Indonesia, with itineraries ranging from five to 14 nights. Each voyage is designed to uncover the cultures and natural contrasts of the region, with highlights including the temples of Bali, the beaches of the Gili Islands and Komodo National Park.
As for shore excursions, guests can embark on guided hikes through Komodo’s landscapes or take part in temple meditations in Bali. In Penang, Malaysia, street food tours serve up a taste of local cuisine. For history enthusiasts, temples in Celukan Bawang, Indonesia reveal centuries of spiritual tradition, brought to life through a local guide.
Luminara is slated to set sail on July 3, 2025, expanding the brand’s presence with spacious suites, refined dining, and privileged access to some of the world’s most sought-after ports.
