Yacht Charter in Hong Kong

Hong Kong yacht charter

Hong Kong is the perfect blend of East meets West, merging Chinese traditions and culture with Western sentimentality and progress. Here, you can find everything from Buddhist temples to historic fishing villages, skyscrapers, and high rises, to old shophouses and Chinese alleyways. When it comes to a tourist destination that has it all, Hong Kong definitely tops the bill. Yacht charter in Hong Kong is booming, especially in the summer when the temperatures rise, and both locals and tourists get to spend more time outdoors and out in the sun. With plenty of yacht options, the Hong Kong yacht charter is undoubtedly an ideal way to explore and enjoy the city-state.

Why charter a yacht in Hong Kong?

There is an abundance of marinas in Hong Kong, accommodating anything from a 4-person capacity speedboat to a superyacht that can dine a group of 100 guests. When it comes to yacht charters in Hong Kong, you'll never run out of options to choose from. The marinas are located all across Hong Kong, such as the Aberdeen Marina Club, the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club, the Discovery Bay Marina, the Hebe Haven Yacht Club, and other small ones, there are enough berths to accommodate hundreds of yachts in this Asian metropolitan city.

Offering everything from intimate monohulls for honeymooners, a super catamaran for a large group of friends, or a huge sailboat for saying enthusiasts, you are sure to find what you're looking for in Hong Kong. And did you know there are about 200 smaller islands off the coast of Hong Kong, having a mix of rocky islets and tropical coves with turquoise blue waters and pristine white sands? Yes, Hong Kong is home to hundreds of hidden beaches and islands that are just waiting to be explored for your day, overnight, weekend, or full-week yacht charter itinerary.

What are yacht charter prices in Hong Kong?

Average yacht charter prices in Hong Kong depend on many factors. These include but are not limited to the yacht's size, the brand of the yacht, the inclusions with your charter, the number of people on board, and the yacht rental duration. Superyachts are popular in Hong Kong, catering to guests with discerning tastes and those who wish to travel and enjoy in style. Some of the superyacht brands you can find here include Monte Carlo yachts, Ferretti, Numarine, Sunseeker, Azimut, and Sanlorenzo yachts, among many others. Yacht charter prices for a day trip in Hong Kong range between USD2000 to $4200 for a group of 15 adults, which includes full catering. Other charters offer per person rates, such as $200 for a full-day cruise aboard a luxury yacht on a weekday, and can go up to $630 for a weekday cruise.

When is the yachting season in Hong Kong?

There are two yacht charter seasons in Hong Kong: the summer and the winter seasons. The peak yacht charter season is the summer season when it's bright and sunny, and families head out to sea to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. The high season is between June to October, which is also the most expensive season for yacht charters, while the low season is between March to May. Winter is also an exceptional time to charter a yacht in Hong Kong, especially during the Christmas and Chinese New Year holidays. Festivities abound on the Victoria Harbour, where the skyline lights up and fireworks are on display in many parts of the city.

Hong Kong yacht charter for a day

Hong Kong features many nearby islands that are perfect for swimming, sunbathing, water sport activities, and plenty of sun and sand. For an ideal and convenient way to enjoy your charter, opt for all-inclusive packages where everything is included, such as the food, drinks, and music. A yacht charter for a day in Hong Kong brings you to nearby islands and destinations such as Aberdeen, Causeway Bay, Deep Water Bay, Turtle Cove, and the best seafood in Lamma Island.

You can add extra equipment on board, such as kayaks, stand up paddleboards, a banana boat, or a jet ski to take your day cruise to another level of excitement. Kiddie parties are also popular in Hong Kong, where yachts cruise along the harbor, go to a nearby island, and kids can enjoy a day of fun and frolic on a beach. Sunset cruises, fishing escapades, and party charters are also popular day yacht charter activities in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong yacht charter overnight

Overnight yacht charter comes with full accommodations in luxury cabins, well-equipped kitchens, air conditioned saloons, and plenty of outdoor lounge seating for a full day and night of relaxing, adventure, and VIP treatment. When chartering a yacht overnight from Hong Kong, you can visit plenty of destinations such as Lamma Island, Sai Kung, Cheung Chau Island, and even as far as Macau for some nightlife in the countless casinos in the famous Las Vegas of the East.

Hong Kong yacht charter for a week

And for the ultimate yacht charter adventure, a week-long cruise off the coast of Hong Kong will create an experience of a lifetime. You can leave on a Friday night with a sunset cruise off Victoria Harbor, bearing witness to Disneyland Hong Kong's fireworks display and the city skyline before heading to Discovery Bay where your yacht moors up for the night.

Come morning, get to explore different islands such as Tai O and Cheung Chau, where traditional fishing villages are still very well-preserved; have lunch on the coats of Sai Kung for some exquisite seafood and lush hiking trails, and get to explore all the unspoiled tropical islands with turquoise waters and white sand beaches along the way.

And of course, a Hong Kong yacht charter for a week is never complete without a visit to the Kowloon peninsula and the vibrant and dynamic Macau. Whether you choose to disembark in Macau or get back on board and return to Hong Kong is your choice to make, but one thing's for sure, your week-long Hong Kong travel itinerary will surely be one heck of an adventure.

Wedding yacht charter in Hong Kong

Hong Kong is one of the world's top destinations for weddings. It's got culture, history, and all the modern amenities of a world-class metropolitan. One train ride away, and you're in China ready to visit the temples and the Great Wall of China. At the same time, a one yacht charter away, and you're in Macau in as short as one hour. For a unique wedding extravaganza, a yacht charter that cruises along the Victoria Harbour and Causeway Bay will surely create unforgettable memories with you and your loved ones. Celebrate this day with a sunset ceremony and seated dinner on board for 100 guests, or choose a smaller catamaran for an intimate wedding. However big or small you want your wedding party, you can find the best yacht charters to hold the wedding of your dreams in Hong Kong.

Corporate yacht charter in Hong Kong

You may want to wine and dine your boss, or you may have a VIP executive coming to town, or you want to celebrate an occasion with your employees. Whatever event your company may be having, do it best with a corporate yacht charter in Hong Kong. For a couple of hours or over sunset, you can discuss business and pleasure with your boss, supervisors, or subordinates. If you want to have a team-building activity, a yacht charter to a nearby island is ideal for some exciting activities that will create your company's highlight of the year.

A yacht charter is a luxurious treat for everyone, and it's one of the best ways in Hong Kong to lighten the atmosphere for a business meeting, lunch, or event. Hong Kong is a bustling, dynamic, and complex metropolitan. To get away from it all, locals and tourists can easily find the best yacht charter to suit their tastes and needs.

Sailing Hong Kong: So much more than just a glittering Asian metropolis

• August 19, 2020

Cameron Dueck explored beyond the beaten track around the waters of his hometown, Hong Kong

We had just dropped the anchor in a small bay, and I was standing on the deck of our Hallberg-Rassy, surveying the turquoise water and shore that rose steep and green around us. At one end of the bay stood a ramshackle cluster of old British military buildings and an abandoned pearl farm, now covered in vines that were reclaiming the land, while through the mouth of the bay I could see a few high-prowed fishing boats working the South China Sea.

I felt drunk with the thrill of new discovery, even though we were in our home waters. I was surprised that I’d never seen this gem of a spot before, and it made me wonder what else I’d find.

Hong Kong has been my home for nearly 15 years, during which I’ve hiked from its lush valleys to the tops of its mountain peaks and paddled miles of its rocky shoreline in a sea kayak. I pride myself in having seen many of the far-flung corners of this territory.

I’ve also been an active weekend sailor, crewing on racing yachts and sailing out of every local club. But as crew on a racing yacht I followed a predictable routine – sail out of the harbour, make a few laps around the marks, and back the clubhouse for beers. I could have counted on one hand the number of nights spent at anchor in Hong Kong waters.

Now, for the first time, I am cruising these waters at the helm of my own boat, and I am rediscovering Hong Kong as a cruising destination. My girlfriend, Fiona, and I have recently bought Teng Hoi, a Hallberg-Rassy 42F, and she’s opened our eyes to whole new side of our home territory.

Hong Kong is so much more than just a glittering Asian metropolis. The concrete and glass it is best known for are set against vast protected parkland and overgrown farming villages, including 263 islands and 637 square miles of sea. Three quarters of Hong Kong territory is dominated by white sand beaches, hiking trails, traditional fishing villages and quiet anchorages, all creating an excellent cruising ground. The biggest challenge facing us was deciding where to go.

Our mooring next to Deep Water Bay, on the south side of Hong Kong Island, put us in the geographical centre of Hong Kong waters. To the west, we could explore Cheng Chau and Lamma islands, which contain lively vehicle-free villages of people who commute to the city by ferry.

Lantau Island, the biggest of Hong Kong’s islands, has miles of sandy beaches and a traditional stilt-house fishing village at its western tip. If we sailed south-west we’d reach the small, uninhabited group of Soko Islands that used to house a refugee camp for Vietnamese boat people.

This time we turned east, towards Sai Kung, a region known for its hiking, beaches and a slower pace of life. Many of the biggest of Hong Kong’s parks and protected areas are located in the north-east, and the water here is notably cleaner due to its distance from the Pearl River Delta on the other side of the territory.

Hong Kong’s uncrowded eastern waters

Our first day out was a light wind drift around Hong Kong Island to Po Toi O, a quiet village near Clear Water Bay, an exclusive residential area. We dropped anchor and eagerly launched our dinghy: this stop had a purpose. Field research led us to believe that Po Toi O offered some of the best seafood of all of Hong Kong’s many fishing villages, but we needed to double check our data.

Seafood may be more important to Hong Kong sailing culture than the wind itself. On non-regatta weekends fleets of racing boats congregate at the most popular spots for gluttonous afternoons, where sailors sit on cheap plastic stools, swill Chinese Tsing Tao beer and gorge on seafood.

Local seafood dishes such as pepper and chilli prawns, clams in black bean sauce, and steamed fish are the soul of Hong Kong sailing. At the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club bar a debate over which village serves the best deep fried squid is just as common as arguments over racing rules at the downwind mark. Despite the delicious dinner we enjoyed in Po Toi O, we were not yet ready to deliver a verdict. Further research is required.

Next morning we awoke to an unexpected change in weather – dove-coloured skies and a stiff onshore breeze. Hong Kong weather is split into two distinct seasons, the north-east monsoon, from October to January and, from May to September, the south-west monsoon. The south-west monsoon is hot, rainy and muggy, with unpredictable winds that carry a heightened threat of typhoons. The north-east monsoon brings steadier winds and cooler, drier conditions.

We were catching the start of the north-east winds, so I scanned my charts for somewhere suitably protected. Just a few miles to the north-east was Snake Bay, a spot I’d heard of but never visited. It is deserted, except for a few weather-stained buildings nestled on the shore.

An entrepreneur leased part of the bay’s abandoned village about 15 years ago, and restored the buildings into an eclectic small hotel decorated with life-size animal sculptures. The business failed, the buildings returned to their decay, and now the sculptures have become decrepit monsters guarding the ruins.

Storms from South China Sea

The bay sheltered us from the wind, but it had begun to rain, so we curled up in the saloon to read and listen to the raindrops hit the deck. By morning the skies had cleared. We raised sail, enjoying the steady winds and flat, inshore waters. But the open South China Sea showed a very different character.

During the north-east monsoon the wind and seas funnel south through Taiwan Strait, and passing storms can create dangerously rough conditions in Hong Kong. We beat into 30 knot winds and 3m seas for a few miles, reminding each other that this was what our boat was built for. But after a bout of good sense took over we gybed back towards the protected waters of Snake Bay.

“Actually I wanted to go for a hike in Snake Bay, but it was just too rainy yesterday,” Fiona said, making me feel even better for returning to safe anchorage. So we spent the afternoon clambering along overgrown hiking trails before returning to the boat feeling the same sense of accomplishment we’d have earned bashing into the weather, but with scratched legs and muddy shoes instead of sailing bruises and broken gear.

The dramatic rocks of Bluff Island

The next day we were rewarded with calmer seas but still plenty of wind. We sailed into open sea and steered Teng Hoi north-east, hugging the coastline in order to get a better look at the Hong Kong UNESCO Global Geopark. This features stunning hexagonal basalt rock columns in the same style as the Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland.

Waves crash into the columns where they thrust themselves out of the sea, creating a foamy maelstrom. The columns are bent and tilted by tectonic forces, but the waves made it look like they were buckling before the weather. The dramatic columns gradually gave way to rounder, greener mountains until we nudged our bow into a narrow channel.

I furled the genoa and motor sailed Teng Hoi through the gap, edging to the starboard side to allow a wooden fishing boat to chug past and out into the China Sea, while keeping a nervous eye on the jagged shores that hemmed us in on both sides.

Lively conditions for Teng Hoi in the South China Sea

Cruising my own boat in Hong Kong has taught me that bays I thought I knew well are, in reality, poor anchorages in any weather conditions. I’ve discovered that islands I’ve sailed past a thousand times are actually ringed by dangerous rocks, and currents will sweep you into the path of passing ships if you don’t pay close attention.

As we reached the end of the channel our view broadened, revealing the vista of Double Haven. It looked like an inland lake, with water so still that the distant rows of hazy blue mountains were reflected in perfect silhouette. A few small skiffs bobbed in the sea, their crews in conical straw hats, bent over fishing lines. A gauzy steam hung over the landscape.

Double Haven is in fact surrounded by a protective trio of islands: Double, Crescent and Crooked. The area is accessible only via winding pathways and by boat, keeping visitors to a minimum.

Anchoring is prohibited in areas that are part of the Yan Chau Tong Marine Park, and the laws that created the Plover Cove Country Park ensure that Hong Kong’s opportunistic developers don’t cover the hills with apartment blocks.

Contrasting waters

That protection has created a stark contrast between the still waters and lush hills on the Hong Kong side, and the massive industrial complex of the Yantian Harbour on the mainland China side. The container port is so close that the sounds of its machinery are sometimes carried across Double Haven by the wind, and its lights turn the sky orange at night.

It was here, behind one of the sinuous arms of Crooked Island, that we discovered the old pearl farm anchorage, a spot so quiet and secluded that the city rush of Hong Kong felt an ocean away. Crooked Island draws few tourists, but each of Hong Kong’s bays and fishing villages has a unique story to tell.

Like many places in Hong Kong, Crooked Island has both an English and a Cantonese name, and as is often the case, the two names have little in common. Kat O translates as “lucky bay” while its English name refers to the twisted shape of the island.

Hong Kong has been inhabited since the Old Stone Age, and the fishing villages nestled along its shores have seen numerous empires, hostile invaders and colonial masters come and go. Evidence of its time as a British colony, which ended in 1997, is now slowly being eroded.

Kat O is home to a Tin Hau temple that dates back to 1763 and was once a thriving fishing and trading community, but today is home to just 30 residents, most of whom are senior citizens. Much of the population moved overseas decades ago for an easier life when Hong Kong’s rapid urbanisation made village life unsustainable, but some of them have since returned to retire. “There are more people from Kat O living in the UK than living on the island,” one old-timer told us.

Stilt houses at the fishing village of Tai O. Photo: Starcevic / Getty

Kat O is only one of many abandoned villages that dot the shores of Double Haven. To get a better sense of history we set off on a six-mile hike through the hills of Plover Cove Country Park. The paths took us across overgrown rice paddies and entire villages smothered under thick green vegetation, their stone houses still filled with furniture.

We shared the trail with the occasional feral cow. The long-horned but peaceful beasts were left behind by emigrating farmers and have since flourished in parks across Hong Kong.

Eventually the paths led back down towards the sea, ending in Lai Chi Wo, a 400-year-old walled village, where many descendants of those that used to live here are returning, refurbishing, and trying to revive this slice of Hong Kong history. Some houses sport new paint, doors and windows, while their neighbours’ tile roofs lie in a pile on the ground.

Fun for day trippers

There were still parts of Double Haven we had not explored, but it was time to turn for home. As we sailed downwind each mile towards the urban heart of Hong Kong brought with it with more traffic. We were the only boat anchored off a popular snorkelling beach on Bluff Island, but we were no longer alone. Marine Police boats passed by on their patrols and ferry wakes rocked our boat late into the evening.

On our last morning we were joined by junks laden with boisterous passengers. Junk boats are packed with day-trippers, and a popular way for locals to explore local waters. Soon there were a dozen junks anchored around us, and the water was full of snorkellers. But I had a way to escape the crowds, and now I knew just where to go.

Situation update

Hong Kong has experienced a steady stream of protests, political upheaval, police violence, and restrictions related to COVID-19 since the summer of 2019, and things are still not back to ‘normal’.

However, Hong Kong’s marinas and waters have remained largely open to sailors throughout this time. There is a discernible increase in Marine Police presence, but they rarely stop pleasure boats.

The most popular anchorages have seen an uptick in activity, particularly overnight stays, as travel restrictions have kept citizens within their own borders, but there are still plenty of protected bays to go around.

If anything, escaping the throb of the city centre by boat brings relief. On far flung islands and beaches you are more likely to encounter feral cows, a wild pig, or one of Hong Kong’s multitudes of snakes than a riot police officer.

Brand new innovative wakesurfing boats. Now available in Hong Kong.

As wakesurfing rises in popularity in Hong Kong, even surpassing wakeboarding – a similar, yet fundamentally different sport – surfing boat manufacturers have taken the opportunity to modify, refine, and upgrade their boat designs. Unlike wakeboarding, wakesurfing requires a particular set of features, such as a different engine placement and hull shape, alongside innovative and advanced equipment to provide an enjoyable, safe, and unforgettable wakesurfing experience.

The main difference between wakesurfing and wakeboarding is that with wakesurfing, you aren’t permanently attached to the boat via a rope. Wakeboarding gained popularity thanks to being an invigorating and fun sport in which you travel at high speeds across the water behind a boat. Wakesurfing is typically a slower – but by no means easier – sport in which you surf in the waves made by the boat’s engines. This provides surfers in Hong Kong with much easier and guaranteed access to surfable waves, provided the boat is designed correctly.

The design of the boat

The design of wakesurfing boats differs from wakeboarding boats in that there is a greater emphasis on your safety. Rather than jutting out of the back of the boat, the propellers are located on the bottom – safely out of reach of anyone in the water.

In addition to this, boats with a convex V-shaped hull ride deeper in the water, creating a bigger and more surfable wave. This is different from boats with flatter hulls that might be better for water skiing, for example.

Depending on the model of the boat, there is ample storage and a luxurious cockpit with plenty of space to move around in. There is also plenty of ballast weight on the boat for extra security without sacrificing any storage space.

Driving a new era of yachts and water sports boats in Hong Kong

Since its establishment, ASIAMARINE has focused on yacht rental, sales, and management. More than 20 years of experience and presence across Hong Kong and Asia, ASIAMARINE is at the forefront of the yachting industry.

In addition to luxury yachts, ASIAMARINE is now introducing new types of wakesurfing boats to provide watersport enthusiasts in Hong Kong with more exciting and safe options to take them into the water.

Interested in buying a wakesurfing boat, or have any questions? Visit one of our stores in Hong Kong or get in touch with us today.

Our newer Beneteau 37 is ideal for training RYA Competent Crew and RYA Day Skipper as its a good comfortable size but small enough for a new skipper to be able to handle her with ease.  She is well equipped and has excellent cover from the sun with a full bimini.  The Beneteau can comfortably sleep 7 and with its large, wide cockpit it’s very comfortable upstairs.

Our larger Bavaria 47 is more suited towards the RYA Coastal Skipper and RYA Yachtmaster courses but as she has air conditioning we use her more frequently in the hotter months.  Her features also including a 240V generator, electric primary winches, radar and HF radio.  So she is also ideally setup for blue water cruising.

If you wish to have your own private course on your own yacht this can be arranged.  The yacht used must meet certain standards we will be happy to advise you about the details on request.

There’s no better Hong Kong pairing than Victoria Harbour and a fireworks display. Some of the most iconic images of the city feature fiery showers of colour against towering waterfront skyscrapers. If you’re looking to snap a photo of your own, we’ve found some of the best places in Hong Kong to see fireworks. 

While fireworks have typically been reserved for public holidays like Chinese New Year and New Year’s Eve, it was recently announced that the government will be ramping up displays, alongside drone shows and the daily lightshow. Head to the Hong Kong Tourism Board’s website for a full rundown of when shows will be held. 

From hidden rooftop bars to buzzy boardwalks, here’s where to see the Hong Kong fireworks.

Public spaces 

Tsim sha tsui promenade.

The most popular spot to see the fireworks is the Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade, a roughly two-kilometre-long walkway from the ferry pier along Victoria Harbour. With unobstructed views of Hong Kong Island’s cityscape, it’s a front-row seat to the action. If you don’t mind big crowds, arrive early to grab a prime spot on the Avenue of Stars .

West Kowloon Promenade

The West Kowloon Art Park may be better known as the home of museums M+ and Palace Museum, but it also boasts incredible views of the Hong Kong skyline. With sprawling grass lawns, dining destinations and a winding boardwalk, it’s an ideal spot to watch the fireworks burst overhead with friends and family.

Wan Chai Harbourfront Event Space

If you’ve driven alongside the Wan Chai waterfront in the past couple of years, you’ll have noticed construction work blocking much of your view. Finally, the white walls have lifted to unveil the completed Harbourfront Event Space . Amid open green space, benches and animal sculptures, you’ll be able to enjoy views of the fireworks over the Kowloon side.

Situated right in front of the government headquarters in Admiralty, this sloping lawn fills up around firework season. People spread out on picnic blankets to enjoy the spectacle. Thanks to the nature of the slope, it’s easier to get a view of the scene without hundreds of heads blocking your way.

On the water 

Want to see the display unfold from water level? There’s been a boom of companies offering firework cruises, from the traditional red sail junk Aqualuna to luxury yacht companies like Hong Kong Yachting . Many of them also offer food and drinks packages as you cruise around Victoria Harbour ahead of the show, making it a night to remember.

Restaurants and bars

You might know Alto for its cobalt and golden Tom Dixon interiors, but if you venture upstairs, you’ll find one of Hong Kong’s hidden gems: a rooftop lounge nestled amid skyscrapers. Thankfully, it’s high up so you can enjoy some of the city's best views of the Kowloon side. The generous wine and cocktail list certainly adds to the experience, too.

Cardinal Point

Tucked away at the top of The Landmark’s Forty-Five dining complex, this sky-high bar is a relatively new addition to Hong Kong’s bar scene and a date night winner. On fireworks nights, it’s also a perfect location to catch the show over a couple of cocktails, way off the ground.

Forty-Five, Gloucester Tower Landmark, Central, +852 3501 8560

Located in EAST Hotel, this low-key rooftop bar is a popular spot among residents seeking panoramic views of Victoria Harbour. It offers great cocktails and an unbeatable vantage point. You’ll want to get in early as, fireworks or not, the couches on the terrace fill up quickly.

Aqua Spirit

Prefer to escape the heat? Head indoors to Aqua Spirit , a harbourfront restaurant in Tsim Sha Tsui best known for its sweeping windows looking onto the Hong Kong skyline. On special occasions like New Year’s Eve, people pack in to party through the night and watch the displays unfold away from the crowds – and more importantly, in air-conditioned comfort.

The Ritz-Carlton's Third Superyacht Is Coming Next Year — and It'll Have 10 New Itineraries Across Asia

"Luminara" will be based out of Hong Kong, Singapore, and Tokyo for its inaugural season.

Courtesy of The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection

First, there was Evrima . Then there was Ilma . And next? Meet Luminara . The third ship in the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection is anticipated to make its debut in December 2025. And it'll be making Asia its home base for its inaugural season, sailing 10 itineraries departing that will visit 28 ports across 10 countries.

First, it'll depart from Singapore on Dec. 30, 2025, for a 14-night journey to Hong Kong, traveling through Thailand and Vietnam and visiting such destinations as Koh Samui, Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, and Hạ Long Bay. What better way to celebrate the new year?

Then Luminara will sail 10- to 14-night voyages across the region, calling at ports like Puerto Princesa, Philippines, and Seoul. Finally, it'll end in Asia with a 10-night voyage around Japan during cherry blossom season, taking guests to some of the most important sites across the country, from the peace memorial of Hiroshima to Osaka Castle.

Throughout these journeys, guests will be able to choose from a variety of excursions, both group and private. Thrill seekers might opt to go kiteboarding in the Philippines or white-water rafting in Malaysia, while gourmands might try a street food tour in Thailand. Custom excursions are possible, too, allowing guests to tailor their trip to their specific needs.

Luminara is an opulent home base for such adventures. The 226-suite, 452-guest vessel has one of the highest staff and space ratios at sea — the largest suites span more than 1,000 square feet. Plus, there are amenities like five restaurants, six bars, a wine vault with rare bottles, and a wellness center with a spa, salon, and gym.

Luminara will undoubtedly be one of the most luxurious ships exploring Asia in 2025. Learn more about the sailings at ritzcarltonyachtcollection.com .

Starting in 2025, Luminara will begin sailing in Asia, a first for the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection . Journeys are currently planned from December 2025 through May 2026 and will include exciting stops in major cities like Tokyo, Hong Kong and Singapore, along with lesser-known, underrated Asian coastal stunners like Ha Long Bay in Vietnam and Puerto Princesa, Philippines.

Luminara, an all-suite ship, will have five restaurants, six bars, a wine vault, a Ritz-Carlton spa, various room configurations and a pool. Plus, it'll have plenty of beautiful places to relax and watch the world go by — which, in the case of these new itineraries, means sailing by the beautiful landscapes of Asia.
