Exploring Japan Aboard Luminara | The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection

In this Japan travel vlog, I’m taking you aboard Luminara for a luxury yacht voyage through Japan and South Korea. Along the way, we explore Kyoto’s temples and gardens, experience traditional Kaiseki dining, and visit Hiroshima, Beppu and Busan. Back on board, we discover Luminara’s restaurants, spa and pool while settling into the peaceful rhythm of a day at sea.

Luminara is one of the superyachts in The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, featuring 226 suites with private ocean-view terraces, distinct dining experiences, The Ritz-Carlton Spa®, expansive pool areas and the Marina.

From October through May, Luminara explores Asia-Pacific on luxury yacht voyages visiting destinations such as Tokyo, Osaka and Kobe, Hiroshima, Busan, Hong Kong, Ho Chi Minh City, Bangkok, Singapore, Phuket and Bali.
