A glacier-lined horizon offers a very different kind of dream journey. The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection has announced an expanded summer 2027 programme for Luminara, placing Alaska at the centre of a season that also reaches Asia.

The announcement, dated 3 March 2026, sets out 21 voyages from April to October 2027: 15 in Alaska, four in Asia and two transcontinental crossings. Selected Alaska itineraries include the Inside Passage and Tracy Arm. In Asia, the operator highlights new calls in northern Japan and Seoul as a new turnaround gateway.

Make it your journey

Choose the itinerary by the days ashore and the landscapes you most want to experience. A shorter voyage and a longer route can offer quite different balances of scenic cruising and port time. Review the exact departure, embarkation arrangements, included excursions and optional costs with the operator. Glacier access, wildlife sightings and port calls are not guarantees; the attraction is the opportunity to explore, with room for the conditions of the journey.
