The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection Unveils Ultra-Luxury Winter 2027–2028 Voyages Aboard Evrima, Ilma and Luminara
The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection just released its Winter 2027–2028 itineraries, featuring more than 60 ultra‑luxury voyages and 14 new ports of call across Asia‑Pacific, the Caribbean and the South Pacific aboard Evrima, Ilma, and Luminara. Sailing between October 2027 and May 2028, the new season broadens the brand’s global footprint by pairing marquee destinations with small, lesser‑visited harbours that are perfectly suited to its yacht‑style ships. Each itinerary is curated to balance serene sea days with immersive time ashore, reflecting the line’s focus on discovery, cultural connection and the relaxed feel of an intimate private yacht. Evrima will roam the Hawaiian Islands, South Pacific and Caribbean, Ilma will span 27 ports across the Caribbean, and Luminara will return to Asia‑Pacific, linking major capitals with emerging seaside towns. Together, the trio offers guests a spectrum of journeys from three‑night escapes to longer voyages of up to 14 nights. South Pacific and Panama Canal discovery aboard Evrima Evrima’s extended South Pacific season unlocks deeper exploration of coral atolls, lagoons and volcanic silhouettes. New calls include Rangiroa and Fakarava in French Polynesia’s Tuamotus, along with Rarotonga and Aitutaki in the Cook Islands, revealing an arc of reef‑ringed atolls, glassy bays and palm‑fringed shores. Scenic destinations like Huahine provide ideal conditions for Marina Beach days, where guests can swim, lounge or enjoy water sports with direct access to the Pacific from the yacht. Evrima will also debut a 13‑night Los Angeles–Panama City voyage with first‑time calls at Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlán, Zihuatanejo and Puerto Chiapas, plus two seven‑night San Juan–Panama City itineraries that include a rare, sea‑level Panama Canal transit viewed from private terraces in all‑suite accommodations. Flexible Caribbean escapes aboard Ilma Ilma’s Winter 2027–2028 programme spans 27 ports across the Caribbean, built around flexibility for both quick getaways and longer retreats. Miami, San Juan and Oranjestad (Aruba) act as convenient turnaround hubs for voyages that weave vibrant beach towns with tucked‑away anchorages. St. Barths remains a signature destination, while new three‑ and four‑night round‑trip sailings from Miami and San Juan create opportunities for spontaneous long weekends to places like Great Exuma and Key West. Five‑ to seven‑night itineraries deliver a more lingering sense of escape, moving between lively islands and calm coves. The season also introduces Culebra, Puerto Rico, as a new port of call—a smaller‑ship‑only island famed for its protected turquoise waters and untouched beaches—and adds Norman Island in the British Virgin Islands as a new stop alongside Canouan, ideal for curated beach parties and celebrations by the sea. Immersive Asia-Pacific journeys aboard Luminara Luminara’s Asia‑Pacific season is designed to showcase the region’s contrasts, pairing urban energy with low‑key coastal gems. An 11‑night Hong Kong–Tokyo voyage on March 7, 2028, introduces an inaugural call in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, with its waterfront promenades and night markets, plus visits to Taipei, Ishigaki’s sapphire waters and Naha’s maritime heritage before arriving in Tokyo. In Southeast Asia, a new seven‑night Bangkok–Singapore sailing debuts Bintan, granting access to a secluded Indonesian archipelago known for white‑sand beaches and crystalline waters. Longer itineraries of up to 14 nights, such as a Hong Kong–Singapore voyage, combine overnight stays in Bangkok and Ho Chi Minh City—with time to explore cutting‑edge dining, fashion and nightlife—with Marina days in Koh Kood and Koh Samui for direct ocean access. Tokyo round‑trip voyages will reveal Japan beyond its major cities through calls in Hakodate (seafood culture and night views), Otaru (scenic canal and glass ateliers) and Aomori (contemporary art and apple‑harvest season), offering a richer view of the country’s coastal life. A new standard for yacht-style luxury at sea Across all three yachts, The Ritz‑Carlton Yacht Collection brings the brand’s legendary service to the water, with all‑suite accommodations featuring private terraces, expansive indoor/outdoor spaces and some of the highest space‑ and staff‑to‑guest ratios at sea. Onboard life blends chef‑led dining concepts, The Ritz‑Carlton Spa treatments and a signature Marina that connects guests directly to the sea through swim platforms and water toys. Voyages combine iconic ports with off‑the‑beaten‑path calls, creating journeys designed around discovery, cultural immersion and genuine connection rather than just ticking off destinations. The brand’s commitment to excellence was recently recognised by Forbes Travel Guide, which awarded Ilma an industry‑first Five‑Star rating in the 2026 Star Awards—the world’s first cruise ship to receive this distinction.

Luxury Reimagined: Emirates’ Iconic Wolgan Valley Resort Returns as the World’s First Ritz-Carlton Lodge
After a three-year hiatus, one of Australia’s most beloved luxury eco-retreats is making a grand return — but with an exciting new chapter. Emirates Wolgan Valley, nestled in New South Wales’ spectacular Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage area, is set to reopen in mid-2026 under a new name and partnership: Emirates Wolgan Valley, a Ritz-Carlton Lodge. This marks the world’s first-ever Ritz-Carlton Lodge, operated by Marriott International — a milestone that redefines the intersection of sustainability, luxury, and nature. A New Era for Wolgan Valley The original Emirates One&Only Wolgan Valley Resort became a global benchmark for conservation-led hospitality when it opened in 2009. Its closure in 2023, following road access issues, left a void in Australia’s high-end travel scene. Now, Emirates has announced a $50 million renovation to revitalise the retreat — building upon an already impressive $150 million investment into the property since its inception. The project will deliver 40 standalone lodges, each offering private pools, elevated design, and an immersive connection to place. A Vision of Luxury with Purpose At a launch event at the Sydney Opera House, Emirates Airline President Sir Tim Clark described the project as both an environmental and economic catalyst for the region. “For us, Emirates Wolgan Valley, a Ritz-Carlton Lodge will not only be an extraordinary resort appealing to discerning travellers seeking to be close to nature, but also a powerful engine for local economic growth,” Clark shared. Guests will experience a distinctly Australian aesthetic, with architecture, materials, and landscaping that honour the land’s heritage and beauty. Expect eco-conscious design blended with Ritz-Carlton’s signature service — a formula catering to travellers who crave authenticity, wellness, and refined indulgence. Commitment to Conservation and Community Marriott International President for Asia Pacific (excluding China) Rajeev Menon emphasized the collaboration’s deeper meaning. “Our role as hoteliers is not simply to build beautiful hotels, but to be worthy custodians of the places entrusted to us,” he said. This philosophy will translate into locally sourced produce, partnerships with regional suppliers, and regenerative tourism practices designed to preserve Wolgan Valley’s precious ecosystems. The reopening is also expected to generate fresh employment opportunities and spark renewed energy in the Lithgow region’s tourism economy. What Guests Can Expect Adventurers can look forward to arriving by 4WD via the Donkey Steps or by helicopter for a truly cinematic entrance. The lodge will feature restored heritage buildings, a world-class spa, equestrian pursuits, a naturalist hub, and even a guided wilderness sleep-out under the stars. Each day at the lodge will blend adventure, wellness, and intimacy with nature — positioning Wolgan Valley as Australia’s premier destination for meaningful luxu
Emirates and Marriott launch Ritz-Carlton Lodge in Australia
Emirates and Marriott International have announced a landmark collaboration to open the world's first Ritz-Carlton Lodge in Australia's Wolgan Valley by mid-2026. This 40-key luxury lodge will be situated on a 7,000-acre conservancy in the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage area, marking a significant milestone for New South Wales' regional tourism. The project, named Emirates Wolgan Valley, a Ritz-Carlton Lodge, aims to set a new standard for luxury travel by offering an immersive sanctuary that blends wilderness with comfort. The lodge will feature 40 elegantly appointed lodges, each with private pools and bespoke amenities. Guests will have the opportunity to engage in unique region-specific experiences, including a signature sleepout adventure under the clear night skies. Emirates has invested $96 million (AU$150 million) in the Wolgan Valley Resort since 2006, with an additional $32 million (AU$50 million) allocated for renovations in partnership with Marriott. This investment underscores Emirates' commitment to the region, which has included extensive conservation efforts and the restoration of historical landmarks. The lodge is expected to create approximately 150 jobs and boost the local economy by engaging local suppliers. Guests will access the resort via a four-wheel drive service or helicopter, adding to the rural off-road experience. Rajeev Menon, President of Asia Pacific excluding China at Marriott International, stated, "We're honoured to collaborate with Emirates on this milestone development, which sees the world's largest hotelier and the world's largest international airline come together to reinvigorate the luxury tourism offering in New South Wales." The lodge will complement The Ritz-Carlton's existing presence in Australia, which includes locations in Perth and Melbourne. With demand for premium nature-based experiences at an all-time high, the lodge is poised to become a major draw for international and domestic travellers alike. ```
