The line’s intimate three-masted flagship Le Ponant (32 staterooms) provides a private yacht experience in warmer waters. Under full sail, gliding over the sea with the wind, you will fall under Le Ponant’s spell. The Ponant EXPLORERS series consists of six small-sized ships, which combine respect for the environment, elegant design and cutting-edge technology. They feature Blue Eye, a unique multi-sensory lounge, the only one of its kind in the world, which is located in the hull, below the waterline. These six exceptional yachts, with just 92 staterooms and suites, bear the names of French explorers who went in search of previously unknown territories. In September 2019, PAUL GAUGUIN Cruises joined the Ponant family. With her shallow draft, the 165 cabin Le Paul Gauguin is the ideal vessel for cruising in Polynesia. Whether you are tempted by warm or cold water cruising, the Caribbean or the Mediterranean, a “Grand” voyage around South America, a chance to visit the cities of the Baltic or a music-themed cruise, you are bound to find a suitable option from the extraordinary variety of cruise itineraries on offer across their impressive fleet.
