The ship will embark on its maiden voyage on July 3, 2025, featuring a stunning route connecting Monte Carlo to Rome – with carefully curated stops at some of Europe's most enticing destinations.
Italian, French, and Unforgettable
Luminara's inaugural route will highlight the golden charm of Cannes, the crystal-clear waters of Corsica, the picturesque landscapes of Tuscany, and the pastel harbors of Portofino and Elba – all at a leisurely pace that allows for an authentic immersion in the local atmosphere and a refined discovery of each destination.
Like the other ships in the fleet, Luminara is designed as a "floating five-star hotel" experience – with elegant suites, gourmet dining, personalized service, intimate spaces, and an interior design that blends modern luxury with classic comfort.
Beyond Just a Cruise
The maiden voyage marks the opening of bookings for the Summer 2025–2026 cruises, offering Ritz-Carlton's clientele a tailored experience that balances elegance with privacy, relaxation, and meticulous attention to detail – both at sea and on land.
The brand emphasizes a genuine connection with each destination: every stop is an opportunity to experience, taste, feel, and understand the locale through its culture, people, and landscapes. It's a journey that is geographical and emotional.
The ship, weighing 46,750 tons, is Ritz-Carlton's third superyacht and will feature, among other things, a suite spanning 1,039 square meters.
As noted, Luminara's maiden voyage will set sail on July 3, 2025, from Monte Carlo to Rome, and the company highlights that this exclusive adventure awaits its first guests.
