(PRESS RELEASE) FORT LAUDERDALE, FL, 2025-Jun-25 — /Travel PR News/ — The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection has unveiled its Winter 2026–2027 season of luxury voyages, adding inaugural sailings in French Polynesia and Hawaii on Evrima, alongside an expanded slate of Asia-Pacific itineraries on Luminara. Running from October 2026 through April 2027, the season introduces 32 new journeys that reinforce the brand’s dedication to granting guests exclusive access to the world’s most remote and culturally rich locales.
Evrima will make her South Pacific debut with 13 unique sailings—ranging from seven to twelve nights—departing from Hawaii and island-hopping through French Polynesia’s iconic atolls, including Raiatea, Bora Bora, Mo‘orea and Huahine. Guests will also cross the equator and International Date Line en route to the secluded motus of Kiribati. Thanks to the yacht’s intimate size, travellers can disembark at smaller ports and anchorages, then launch the onboard Marina for direct access to crystalline lagoons, snorkeling adventures and water-sport activities. Each voyage combines breathtaking natural beauty—white-sand beaches, coral gardens and lush volcanic backdrops—with cultural immersion, from Polynesian dance performances and Marae shrine visits to hands-on workshops in tapa-cloth painting and traditional carving.
Meanwhile, Luminara returns for a third Asia-Pacific season, charting 19 voyages that introduce ten new ports across Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Japan. Itineraries between five and 14 nights link vibrant urban centres—such as Ho Chi Minh City and Okinawa—with remote island gems like Komodo, Belitung and Cebu. Shore excursions have been meticulously curated to showcase local heritage: hike Komodo’s rugged landscapes, meditate in Bali’s temples, sample Penang street food with expert guides or explore centuries-old shrines in Celukan Bawang.
Season highlights include:
12-Night Honolulu to Papeete Voyage (Dec 3, 2026) aboard Evrima, kayaking between Hawaii and Tahiti, welcoming a new day in Kiribati, traversing Maui’s Hana Highway and exploring Bora Bora’s iconic overwater bungalows.
13-Night Hong Kong to Bali Voyage (Jan 3, 2027) aboard Luminara, island hopping from the Philippines’ shipwreck-dotted bays and Kawasan Falls to Komodo’s dragons and the Gili Islands’ kaleidoscopic reefs.
5-Night Bali Round-Trip Voyage (Jan 16, 2027) aboard Luminara, featuring a private beachfront soirée at TA’AKTANA on Flores, wildlife encounters in Komodo National Park and sacred-eel feeding at Lingsar Temple before concluding amid Bali’s rice terraces.
7-Night Tahiti Round-Trip Voyage (Feb 2, 2027) aboard Evrima, discovering Taha’a’s vanilla-scented shores, Raiatea’s rare tiare apetahi blooms, Huahine’s paddling lagoons and Mo‘orea’s panoramic Belvedere Lookout.
Ernesto Fara, President of The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, emphasised that these new itineraries “unlock extraordinary destinations through privileged access and once-in-a-lifetime experiences,” blending personalised service, curated cultural moments and the freedom of yachting. The collection currently features Evrima (launched October 2022) with 149 ocean-view suites, Ilma (September 2024) with 224 light-filled accommodations, and soon-to-come Luminara (July 2025), each offering signature marinas, world-class dining, The Ritz-Carlton Spa® and some of the highest space-to-guest ratios at sea.
