The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection is unveiling its summer 2027 Asia and Alaska itineraries aboard Luminara.
The 452-guest vessel, which launched in July 2025, is the third superyacht in the fleet. Luminara will spend April through October 2027 offering 15 voyages in Alaska and four sailings across Asia, plus two transcontinental crossings.
The ship is making its debut in Alaska this summer. Next year, it will return with an expanded slate of itineraries sailing between Vancouver, British Columbia, and Whittier, Alaska, with stops in destinations like Juneau, Wrangell, Klawock and Sitka along the way.
Many voyages include a glacier day, along with scenic cruising through Tracy Arm Fjord. Each voyage will host two guest speakers, including naturalists, conservation specialists, historians, writers, photographers and cultural voices.
In Asia, the ship is also visiting new ports and debuting new itineraries. Travelers will have a chance to visit destinations like Seoul, Tianjin, Otaru and Akita.
“Our summer 2027 season on Luminara reflects our continued focus on immersive exploration by sea, pairing expanded Alaska voyages and new ports of call across Asia with the comfort of ultra-luxury accommodations and personalized service,” says Ernesto Fara, president and chief executive officer of The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection. “These new voyages are thoughtfully designed to invite guests to experience and connect with both remarkably distinct regions in a way that feels seamless and enriching.”
