The new Luminara anchored today off the coast of the Ebro Delta. Completed in 2025 at the French shipyards in the port of Nantes Saint-Nazaire, the ship made its maiden voyage today with crew and senior staff from the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection near the Ebro Bay to test mechanisms such as the anchor and other systems.
The premium cruise ship Luminara will begin its maiden voyage with passengers on Thursday, July 3, from Monaco to the Italian coast and the Greek islands. The ship has a capacity for 452 passengers. Its technical specifications include a length of 242 meters, a beam of 29 meters, and a draft of 6.2 meters.
The fact that the cruise ship will anchor near the Ebro Delta before its maiden voyage with passengers is beneficial for the area, as they will be able to film the anchorage near the Delta for promotional purposes. Choosing this location puts this anchorage, the port of La Ràpita, and the Ebro Lands tourist destination on the radar of the cruise industry, and could potentially be included in their itineraries in future seasons.
The arrival of the Luminara cruise ship is part of the promotion of the Delta Ebre Port brand. This alliance between Ports de la Generalitat, the La Ràpita Town Council, the Tarragona Terres de l'Ebre Provincial Council's Tourism Board, and the Tortosa Chamber of Commerce promotes cruise and yacht charter activities to attract more maritime tourism to the Ebro region.
