The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection has announced its
Winter 2027–2028 itineraries, featuring more than 60 voyages across the
Asia-Pacific region, the Caribbean and the South Pacific. The season, running
from October 2027 to May 2028, will be operated by the yachts Evrima, Ilma and Luminara
and introduces 14 new ports of call.
The new itineraries combine well-known destinations
with smaller harbours that are rarely visited by larger ships. The programme
focuses on longer stays in port, immersive shore experiences and voyages
designed to offer a relaxed pace and highly personalised service.
Expanded itineraries across three regions
Evrima will operate voyages across the South Pacific
and the Hawaiian Islands before returning to the Caribbean. New destinations
include the coral atolls of Rangiroa and Fakarava as well as Rarotonga and Aitutaki.
Ilma will sail throughout the Caribbean, visiting 27
ports including Miami, San Juan and Oranjestad. Short three- and four-night
sailings will complement longer voyages of up to a week, offering flexible
travel options and weekend escapes.
Luminara will focus on the Asia-Pacific region with
itineraries connecting major cities such as Hong Kong, Tokyo, Bangkok and Singapore
with smaller coastal destinations.
Ernesto Fara said the new programme reflects the
company’s focus on combining expansive travel opportunities with a personalised
experience. “By introducing new destinations across Asia-Pacific, the Caribbean
and the South Pacific, we are offering guests more ways to explore at their own
pace while enjoying the care and connection that define our experience.”
Bookings for the Winter 2027–2028 season are now open.
