Marriott shared some exciting news today from the exclusive Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection. The brand has just announced new sailings for the 2026-2027 winter season, during which it will debut The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection in French Polynesia and introduce new ports in Asia.

“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.

Here’s what you need to know.

The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection Debuts in French Polynesia and Hawaii

Marriott has released the winter 2026-2027 schedule for 2 Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection yachts: Evrima and Luminara. The season will run between October 2026 and April 2027 and will feature 32 new voyages.

Evrima measures 624 feet and boasts 149 suites, accommodating up to 298 passengers, each with a private ocean-view terrace. The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection’s first yacht welcomed its first guests in 2022. Luminara spans 794 feet and has 226 suites that can accommodate up to 452 guests.

Here’s a look at the winter 2026-2027 itineraries:

December 2026: 12-Night Honolulu to Papeete Voyage Aboard Evrima
January 2027: 13-Night Hong Kong to Bali Voyage Aboard Luminara
January 2027: 5-Night Bali Round-Trip Voyage Aboard Luminara
February 2027: 7-Night Tahiti Round-Trip Voyage Aboard Evrima

Perhaps the most exciting news is that Evrima will embark on its first season in and around French Polynesia. Journeys will range from 7 to 12 nights, sailing from Hawaii and visiting destinations such as Raiatea, Bora Bora, and Kiribati.

But that’s not all. The Collection is expanding its presence in Asia, as Luminara will make 19 voyages in the winter 2026-2027 season. These include 10 new ports, such as Cebu, Philippines; Naha, Japan; Semarang, Indonesia; and Miyazaki, Japan.

How To Book

Reservations for the winter 2026-2027 season are now available at the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection website.

Predictably, these sailings aren’t cheap. A 12-night voyage on Evrima to the South Pacific will cost $9,100, while the cheapest option on Luminara, a 5-night voyage around Bali, will set you back at least $8,500.

As The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection participates in the Marriott Bonvoy loyalty program, you can earn and redeem Marriott Bonvoy points on your sailings. You’ll earn 5x Marriott points per dollar spent on fares as well as hotel packages.

Hot Tip:

You can redeem an initial 180,000 points toward a $1,000 savings on Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection fares, and increments of 90,000 points toward a $500 savings after that.

Final Thoughts

The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection has released details about its winter 2026-2027 season, which will see the Evrima yacht debut in French Polynesia and the Luminara visit several new destinations in early 2027.
