Luminara is now positioned at an outfitting dock where the interiors will be completed. The vessel is scheduled to debut in July next year.

Setting new standards

With three yachts soon in the water, we remain committed to delivering exceptional journeys at sea, setting new standards in luxury cruising with unparalleled amenities and service,' said Jim Murren, executive chairman and CEO, RCYC.

'After the smooth delivery of Ilma, Luminara’s float-out and seamless transfer to the outfitting dock were completed with great success,' according to Arnaud Le Joncour, SVP sales and marketing, Chantiers de l’Atlantique. 'As we look ahead to its exciting launch next summer, we are proud to continue our valued collaboration with The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection to deliver another extraordinary yacht that will embody the pinnacle of luxury cruising.'
