The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection has marked the keel-laying ceremony for its third yacht, the Luminara, at the Chantiers de l’Atlantique shipyard in Saint-Nazaire, France.
The event included the lowering of the first modular block of the Luminara into the building dock and the placement of symbolic coins within the keel for good fortune.

The executive chairman and CEO of The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection highlighted the dedication to excellence in design and craftsmanship in the creation of the Luminara, set to join the fleet on July 31, 2025, and open for reservations along with the Evrima and Ilma.
Jim Murren, executive chairman and CEO of The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection said “Luminara represents the culmination of innovative design and relentless pursuit of excellence. Every element reflects the dedication of our combined teams, promising unparalleled voyages for our guests. We take great pride in the remarkable craftsmanship, meticulous planning, and unwavering attention to detail invested in the creation of Luminara, and we can’t wait to welcome our newest superyacht to the fleet.”
