The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection has celebrated a major milestone with the keel-laying ceremony of its third yacht, the Luminara.
The traditional ceremony took place at the Chantiers de l'Atlantique shipyard in Saint-Nazaire, France. Following tradition, the first modular block of the Luminara was lowered onto the construction dock, and symbolic coins were placed inside the keel for good fortune.
“Luminara represents the culmination of innovative design and a relentless pursuit of excellence. Every element reflects the dedication of our combined teams, promising unparalleled voyages for our guests,” said Jim Murren, Executive Chairman and CEO of The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection.
“We are incredibly proud of 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.”
“Building on the incredible progress of Ilma, the assembly of the Luminara hull marks another momentous step forward,” said Arnaud Le Joncour, senior vice president of sales and marketing at Chantiers de l'Atlantique.
“Luminara will continue to redefine the yachting experience with an exquisite level of ultra-luxury finishes, reflecting the passion and collaborative synergy between the teams at The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection and Chantiers de l'Atlantique“.
Reservations for the Luminara, as well as for the Evrima and the Ilma, which is scheduled to launch on July 31, 2025, are now open.
