Luxury liner Luminara”: entry into the most expensive cruise in the world!
The first voyage of the new luxury cruise ship “Luminara” will begin in Monte Carlo on July 3, 2025. Loud calf This is the third and largest ship in the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, which is around 300 meters long. It was built by the renowned French shipyard Chantiers de l’Atlantique and delivered in Saint-Nazaire at the beginning of June 2025.

In the most expensive cabin category, up to 78,000 euros per person have to be paid for the maiden voyage. The journey takes you from Monte Carlo through several stops to Rome, across the Italian coast and the picturesque Mediterranean.
An incomparable onboard experience

Environmental aspects and future travel
