The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection has presented its winter 2027–2028 itineraries across Asia-Pacific, the Caribbean and the South Pacific aboard the Evrima, Ilma, and Luminara.
Sailing from October 2027 to May 2028, the season features more than 60 voyages and introduces 14 new ports of call, according to a press release.
“Our Winter 2027–2028 season reflects our continued focus on creating journeys that feel both expansive and personal,” said Ernesto Fara, Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection president and CEO.
“By introducing new destinations across Asia-Pacific, the Caribbean, and the South Pacific, we’re offering guests more ways to explore at their own pace while enjoying the care and connection that define our experience.”
In addition to deeper exploration, the extended season will include inaugural calls to the coral atolls and lagoons of Rangiroa and Fakarava in French Polynesia, as well as the mountains and islets scattered across Rarotonga and Aitutaki in the Cook Islands.
The company said it would also introduce a 13-night voyage from Los Angeles to Panama City, featuring first-time calls on Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlán, Zihuatanejo and Puerto Chiapas.
In addition, two seven-night voyages from San Juan to Panama City will sail through the Panama Canal.
Ilma: Flexible Caribbean Voyages
Sailing five to seven nights, the Ilma will visit beach towns and tucked-away anchorages for a total of 27 ports across the Caribbean, including Culebra, Puerto Rico as a new port of call.
Miami, San Juan and Oranjestad will serve as turnaround ports, and there will be frequent stops at St. Barths throughout the season.
Additionally, the company expects an expanded collection of three- and four-night round-trip voyages from Miami and San Juan to create new opportunities for long weekends at destinations such as Great Exuma and Key West.
Norman Island, located at the southern tip of the British Virgin Islands, will also debut as a new port.
Luminara: Immersive Asia-Pacific Itineraries
The Luminara will return to Asia-Pacific, where its voyages will connect the region’s capitals and emerging seaside towns.
An 11-night voyage from Hong Kong to Tokyo introduces an inaugural call in Kaohsiung, where waterfront promenades and night markets reflect southern Taiwan’s culture, alongside a visit to Ishigaki, Japan.
In Southeast Asia, a new seven-night sailing from Bangkok to Singapore debuts Bintan, offering access to a secluded Indonesian archipelago.
The season will additionally feature longer itineraries of up to 14 nights, which Ritz-Carlton says are designed to capture the region’s contrast and depth.
A Hong Kong-to-Singapore voyage will combine overnight visits to Bangkok and Ho Chi Minh City, as well as beachside moments and direct ocean access from the yacht’s marina in Koh Kood and Koh Samui.
Similarly, Tokyo roundtrip voyages will offer off-the-beaten-path calls, including Hakodate, Otaru and Aomori.
Winter 2027–2028 highlights:
San Juan Roundtrip (January 10, 2028, three nights)
This Caribbean sailing aboard the Ilma features two standout calls to island destinations.
In Gustavia, St. Barths, the port’s two-ship policy will ensure an uncrowded atmosphere for calmer arrivals, more space ashore and undisturbed exploration of the waterfront.
The journey continues to Jost Van Dyke, the smallest of the four main British Virgin Islands.
Papeete Roundtrip (January 24, 2028, nine nights)
Guests aboard the Evrima will venture farther into the South Pacific on a voyage that reaches newly introduced calls in Rangiroa and Fakarava in the Tuamotus of French Polynesia, as well as Rarotonga and Aitutaki in the Cook Islands.
The journey will feature reef-ringed atolls, crystalline lagoons and volcanic silhouettes.
Along the way, beach relaxation awaits at Taha’a, as well as marina days at Huahine.
Hong Kong to Tokyo (March 7, 2028, 11 nights)
This northbound voyage aboard the Luminara features a series of ports across East Asia.
From Kaohsiung to Taipei, each stop in Taiwan highlights the country’s street-food scene and blend of nature and modernity.
From there, the ship continues toward Tokyo with calls along Japan’s coast, including Ishigaki and Naha.
