Luminara joined the fleet in 2025 as the second Ilma-class yacht, carrying the same architecture with a redesigned wellness estate and a deployment weighted toward the Eastern Mediterranean.
The Marina Terrace, the seven-venue dining estate and the all-suite accommodation ladder all carry over from Ilma without material change.
The spa is reworked with a larger thermal suite and additional treatment rooms, and the wellness programme extends into the fitness and outdoor deck spaces.
Itineraries lean into the Greek islands, the Turkish coast and the Adriatic in summer, with Caribbean and Central America sailings from Fort Lauderdale in winter.
Highlights
Expanded wellness
A larger thermal suite and additional treatment rooms over her sister.
Eastern Mediterranean focus
