The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection epitomizes luxury cruising with its fleet of three intimate, ultra-swanky cruise ships with some of the highest ratios of space per guest at sea. Luminara, the newest of the fleet, features 226 suites with private terraces and embarks on inaugural Mediterranean voyages in 2025, mark your calendars!

From exquisite accommodations complete with Frette linens and Diptyque amenities to exceptional dining curated by Michelin-starred chefs, think impeccable service and refined elegance synonymous with The Ritz-Carlton brand, with the freedom and flexibility of private yachting.

With a focus on immersive cultural exploration, guests can engage in curated shore excursions and onboard activities tailored to their interests, such as helicopter tours and private wine tastings. From wellness retreats to culinary masterclasses, each voyage offers a unique blend of relaxation and adventure, but don’t expect casinos, slides or Broadway shows – this has more of an intimate luxe feel. That being said, families can enjoy Ritz Kids®, an enriching and entertaining program designed to spark children’s curiosity and foster exploration of their surroundings.
