The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection is offering a seven-night Mediterranean sailing aboard its third and newest superyacht Luminara via auction through Sotheby’s. The voyage will continue the partnership between The Luxury Group by Marriott International and auction house Sotheby’s.

Departing October 17 2025, this seven-night journey will take the winning bidder and a guest from Rome to Barcelona, visiting Livorno, Portofino, Saint-Tropez and Mallorca. Guests will stay in Luminara’s Owner’s Suite, complete with personal service from a dedicated Suite Ambassador and a sommelier-led tasting in the Wine Vault. The guests will also be treated to a tasting menu with wine pairings at Seta su Luminara, the yacht’s specialty dining venue.

Wellness offerings include a choice of treatments at The Ritz-Carlton Spa, while round-trip VIP airport meet-and-greet service and luxury ground transport in Florence and Saint-Tropez complete the experience.

The sailing, “Masterpieces & The Mediterranean,” will reportedly offer guests behind-the-scenes access into private institutions, curator-led tours and conversations with global tastemakers, such as:

• Exclusive access to the private residence of the founder of FAMM (Femmes Artistes du Musée de Mougins) in Florence, including a behind-the-scenes tour of a private collection of contemporary and modern works by notable female artists.
• A lunch at La Colombe d’Or in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, where seasonal Provençal cuisine is served in an intimate setting adorned with original works by Picasso, Matisse, and Calder.
• A private tour of the FAMM museum in Saint-Tropez, led by Sotheby’s Contemporary Art specialists Ottilie Windsor and Tom Eddison alongside museum curators.
• A wander through Fondation Maeght, the first independent art foundation in France, with Ottilie and Tom to see the exhibition, “Barbara Hepworth: Art & Life.”

The auction will be available online through Sotheby’s Sealed, with bidding open through June 30, 2025.

Since launching the partnership in September 2024, The Luxury Collection and Sotheby’s have auctioned four travel experiences, each offering rare access to global destinations and expert insight shaped around the passions of collectors.
