Each suite boasts a private terrace, offering guests serene views of the open ocean. The new Residential Suite balances intimacy with grandeur, featuring finishes of dark oak, Emporada marble, smoked glass, and bespoke furnishings from prestigious brands like Minotti, Giorgetti, Talenti, Poltrona Frau, and Molteni.
Throughout the yacht, carefully curated lighting with intuitive controls allows guests to personalize their ambiance, cultivating a peaceful retreat during their voyage.
A standout feature is a magnificent seven-story suspended light sculpture in the aft staircase atrium, linking multiple decks and offering a captivating interplay of illumination and design.
Other culinary venues include Azur on Luminara, presenting regionally influenced dishes focused on seasonal ingredients; Haesu Bit, a pan-Asian concept featuring flavors from destinations on the itinerary such as Japan, Vietnam, Thailand, Korea, and Cantonese cuisine; and Mistral, which captures the essence of Mediterranean coastal dining with fresh seafood and expertly grilled meats.
The yacht also houses seven elegant bars, including the newly introduced Art Bar, where guests enjoy craft cocktails alongside a striking display of Cycladic art that merges ancient tradition with the dynamic spirit of modern navigation.
Deck 10 presents a panoramic pool area with a main pool, two jacuzzis, and tranquil retreats, all supported by personalized services and amenities tailored to guest preferences.
Luminara elevates the luxury retail experience through a collaboration with Starboard Luxury, introducing dedicated boutiques for Cartier, IWC Schaffhausen, and Piaget, all debuting within the yacht collection. These boutiques showcase exquisite Swiss timepieces and fine jewelry, accompanied by personalized service from expert brand ambassadors.
With tightened security, experts are warning of luggage risks like theft and mishandling for travelers. TSA sees 90,000 to 100,000 items left at checkpoints monthly.
