Luxury travel is reaching new heights—or rather, new depths—with the launch of Luminara, a 794-foot floating hotel from the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, set to embark on its maiden voyage on July 3.
As the third and largest vessel in the Ritz-Carlton fleet, Luminara is a marvel of modern nautical design and opulence. Spanning 10 decks, the vessel is equipped to host 452 guests in ultra-luxurious accommodations. Among its standout features are two swimming pools, including a chic infinity pool and a sprawling main pool on the top deck.
The yacht’s first voyage—a week-long journey from Monte Carlo to Rome—promises travelers a seamless blend of luxury, leisure, and fine dining.
Onboard, guests will have access to five distinct gourmet restaurants, each offering a curated dining experience, a designer boutique featuring high-end fashion labels, and a signature Ritz-Carlton spa. Additionally, Luminara houses a mini-marina with a floating lounge, a sun-soaked terrace, and a beach zone, offering the ambiance of a resort without ever leaving the sea.
For travelers seeking the pinnacle of indulgence, the ship’s top-tier suites offer private terraces, personal hot tubs, and 24/7 in-suite dining. The price? A staggering $78,377 per week.
Described as a “sea hotel,” Luminara caters to those desiring both opulence and adventure—making it not just a yacht, but a destination in itself.
With its upcoming inaugural sailing, Luminara signals a bold step forward for luxury cruising, blending the Ritz-Carlton brand’s signature elegance with the freedom of ocean travel.
