The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection has revealed its winter 2027-2028 program, featuring over 60 exclusive voyages across the Caribbean, South Pacific, and Asia-Pacific regions. The itineraries, spanning October 2027 to May 2028, utilize the fleet's three superyachts—Evrima, Ilma, and Luminara—to offer new ports and immersive experiences. This expansion aims to provide more choices for luxury travelers seeking small-ship cruising with cultural and natural highlights.
The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection unveiled its Winter 2027–2028 itineraries on March 11, 2026, introducing a diverse array of voyages designed for ultra-luxury superyacht travel. With more than 60 sailings across three regions, the program deploys Evrima, Ilma, and Luminara to cater to growing demand for intimate, port-intensive journeys that blend relaxation with exploration.
Evrima will focus on an extended South Pacific season, linking Hawaii with French Polynesia and the Cook Islands through voyages of 10 nights or longer. New destinations include Rangiroa and Fakarava atolls for snorkeling and diving, as well as Rarotonga, Aitutaki, and Huahine. The yacht will also operate a 13-night route from Los Angeles to Panama City, visiting Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlán, Zihuatanejo, and Puerto Chiapas along Mexico's Pacific coast. Additionally, two seven-night voyages from San Juan to Panama City will traverse the Panama Canal, offering views from private terraces.
Ilma will concentrate on the Caribbean, covering 27 ports with itineraries ranging from three to ten nights. Highlights include lesser-visited spots like Culebra in Puerto Rico and Norman Island in the British Virgin Islands, alongside short escapes from Miami and San Juan to Great Exuma and Key West. Longer sailings emphasize overnight stays, secluded bays, and water-based activities such as snorkeling in protected marine parks.
Luminara will handle Asia-Pacific routes, featuring an 11-night voyage from Hong Kong to Tokyo with inaugural calls at Kaohsiung, Taiwan, and Ishigaki, Japan, known for its coral reefs. A seven-night sailing from Bangkok to Singapore includes Bintan, Indonesia, while extended 14-night options from Hong Kong to Singapore offer overnights in Bangkok and Ho Chi Minh City, plus beach visits to Koh Kood and Koh Samui.
These itineraries highlight the collection's strategy to access smaller harbors and remote anchorages unavailable to larger ships, timed for optimal weather and seasonal events. Bookings are now available through travel advisors and direct channels, positioning the brand amid rising competition in luxury small-ship cruising.
