The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection unveiled its winter itineraries from October 2027 to May 2028 in the Asia-Pacific region, the Caribbean and the South Pacific aboard Evrima, Ilma and Luminara.

In all, the itineraries include 60 sailings and 14 new ports.

"As part of The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection's upcoming Winter 2027–2028 season, Evrimawill sail throughout the Hawaiian Islands and the South Pacific before returning to the Caribbean, while Ilma will complement visits to vibrant beach towns and tucked-away anchorages with a total of 27 ports," the company said. "Luminara will return to Asia-Pacific, where its voyages will connect the region's bustling capitals and emerging seaside towns."

Evrima's roster of South Pacific itineraries includes inaugural calls at Rangiroa and Fakarava in French Polynesia, and Rarotonga and Aitutaki in the Cook Islands.

The ship will also sail on a new 13-night sailing from Los Angeles to Panama City, with inaugural calls at Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlán, Zihuatanejo and Puerto Chiapas in Mexico, along with two seven-night itineraries from San Juan to Panama City, with transits through the Panama Canal.

Ilma's Caribbean schedule includes 27 ports, with Miami, San Juan and Curaçao's Oranjestad serving as embarkation and disembarkation ports.

"St. Barths remains a highlight with frequent stops across the season, while an expanded collection of three- and four-night round-trip voyages from Miami and San Juan creates new opportunities for spontaneous long weekends and effortless escapes to destinations such as Great Exuma and Key West," the line said, adding that the ship will also make an inaugural call to Culebra, Puerto Rico.

Luminara offers voyages in the Asia Pacific region that couple urban destinations with off-the-beaten-track ports.

A new seven-night itinerary from Bangkok to Singapore will include an inaugural call at Bintan Island, set in a picturesque Indonesian archipelago.

Highlights of an 11-day sailing from Hong Kong to Tokyo include an inaugural call at Taiwan's Kaohsiung and a visit to Ishigaki, Japan, which is known for its gin-clear waters, bleached beaches, and vibrant coral reefs.

Luminara's 2027-28 winter season also features longer voyages of up to 14 nights. One highlight is a Hong Kong-Singapore itinerary with overnight stays in Bangkok and Ho Chi Minh City, and marina access for beach activities and water sports in Koh Kood and Koh Samui, Thailand.

"Similarly, Tokyo round-trip voyages will offer a rich view of Japan beyond its major cities through off-the-beaten-path calls, including Hakodate for its seafood culture, Otaru for its scenic canal and glass ateliers and Aomori for contemporary art and apple-harvest season," the company said.

"Our Winter 2027–2028 season reflects our continued focus on creating journeys that feel both expansive and personal," said Ernesto Fara, president and chief executive officer of The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection.

"By introducing new destinations across Asia-Pacific, the Caribbean and the South Pacific, we're offering guests more ways to explore at their own pace while enjoying the care and connection that define our experience."
