The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection has opened its winter 2026/27 itineraries for booking, including the line’s first-ever sailings in Polynesia, as well as new ports in the Asia-Pacific region.
Sailing from October 2026 to April 2027, the season will feature 32 new voyages, among them Evrima’s first cruises through French Polynesia. Voyages will also explore the Hawaiian Islands, with calls in Honolulu, Maui (Kahului), Hilo, and Kona. Additionally, the season features 10 new ports in Aisa.
“Our Winter 2026–2027 voyages represent an exciting next chapter as we expand into Polynesia and strengthen our presence across Asia-Pacific,” said Ernesto Fara, president of The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection. “Our commitment is to unlock the world’s most extraordinary places through exclusive privileged access and once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Each journey is thoughtfully designed to foster deeper connections with the destinations we visit, through curated cultural moments, exclusive shoreside events, and the personalized service that defines life aboard our yachts.”

Evrima’s Polynesia season will comprise 13 voyages ranging from seven to 12 nights, sailing from Hawaii and calling on Raiatea, Bora Bora, Fanning Island (Kiribati), and more. The typically calm waters in French Polynesia will make it possible to deploy the Marina more frequently, offering direct access to the turquoise waters of the region.
Cultural immersion will be woven into each itinerary, with opportunities to experience traditional Polynesian dance performances, visit sacred Marae sites, and savor guided tastings of regional fare. For those seeking a deeper connection to the region’s heritage, the ancestral craftsmanship of island communities will come to life through shoreside workshops in wood carving, tapa cloth painting, and shell jewelry making.

Following its inaugural sailings in Asia-Pacific in winter 2025, the all-new Luminara will return to the region for an expanded season of 19 voyages in winter 2026/27. Itineraries, which will range from five to 14 nights, will feature ports across the Philippines, Indonesia, and Japan, including new ports such as Cebu, Philippines; Naha, Ta’aktana, and Semarang in Indonesia; and Miyazaki, Japan.
These winter sailings will deliver a mix of urban hubs – such as Okinawa, Japan and Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam – and remote destinations like Komodo and Belitung in Indonesia.
Excursions will include guided hikes through Komodo, temple meditations in Bali, food tours in Malaysia, and more.
