Explore the scenic coastlines and islands of Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam in a stylish all-suite vessel.
With characteristic attention to detail, Ritz-Carlton takes everything you would expect from a luxury hotel and takes to the waves in style with <a href="https://www.ritzcarltonyachtcollection.com/?destinasian" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection</a>.
The sleek superyachts have been sailing the seas since 2021 and will make their debut in Asia this year with the newest yacht in the fleet: <a href="https://www.ritzcarltonyachtcollection.com/yachts/luminara?destinasian" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Luminara, </a>scheduled to take to the water this July.
Featuring 226 suites, five restaurants, six bars, and a wine vault, not to mention the relaxing care of the The Ritz-Carlton Spa, guests can literally sail away from the stresses of everyday life. 
Arriving in Asia in December 2025, the <a href="https://www.ritzcarltonyachtcollection.com/luxury-asia-cruises?destinasian" target="_blank" rel="noopener">maiden voyage</a> on Luminara in this region is a seven-night round trip from Singapore, taking in the beachside allure of Langkawi and Phuket, the old-world charm of Penang, and the metropolitan bustle of Kuala Lumpur.
Longer sojourns in February 2026 include a <a href="https://www.ritzcarltonyachtcollection.com/luxury-asia-cruises/hongkong-to-singapore-13260208?destinasian" target="_blank" rel="noopener">14-night voyage</a> from Hong Kong to Singapore which includes Vietnam’s picturesque Halong Bay and Da Nang, with a stop at Ho Chi Minh City, too, before calling in on Thailand’s prettiest island Koh Kood, the bright lights of Bangkok, and the high-tech sophistication of Singapore.
Each of Luminara’s suites has its own private terrace for maximizing the enjoyment of the changing vista, any time of the day or night. The largest, the <a href="https://www.ritzcarltonyachtcollection.com/yachts/luminara/suites?destinasian" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Owner’s Suite</a> (measuring 68.8-97.3 square meters), features a private outdoor whirlpool and perfect panoramic views inside too, thanks to the floor-to-ceiling glass windows in the bedroom and living room.
As you would expect, bathing in luxury is part of the yachting charm too, with a double vanity bathroom in each suite, some featuring a modern soaking tub and separate shower. 
Privacy is guaranteed for the 452 guests where culinary exploration is as exciting as the voyage itself. Aside from the main dining room, options abound, including private dining for intimate celebrations. More casual opportunities can be found at the sushi bar or in the chic beach-club vibe of The Beach House. 
As day turns to night, The Living Room transforms from a coffee lounge to a cocktail bar, while The Humidor offers the perfect place to enjoy an after dinner cigar while sipping a fine cognac. 
Enjoying 24-hour in-suite-dining, a revitalizing spa treatment, or taking time to contemplate the next wonder of the voyage at the aft infinity pool ensures that every moment on board will be more memorable than the last.
