Continuing in the nautical tradition of three-masted sailing ships, Le Ponant will take you on a journey of wonder. With her capacity being 64 guests, you can partake in a festive and private atmosphere on board. The luxurious life on board, the hospitable feeling of the accommodations, and the inviting ambiance of the restaurants and lounges make for a relaxing and entertaining trip. With a team of 32 crew members, a 2-to-1 guest-to-staff ratio results in fantastic service.

Hovering over the ocean in full sail, you will fall under Le Ponant's charm. Venture through exotic places and secret areas that can easily be accessed by Le Ponant. Enjoy excellent French cuisine in an inviting and intimate environment, along with personalized and discreet service where every detail is covered. Experience unbelievable moments on their elegant French ships, with unique characteristics. A sophisticated and friendly environment, where your needs are the crew's priority, is commonplace on a Le Ponant cruise.

Le Ponant has sleek lines, with decks that extend along its full length. It also has three masts reaching toward the sky. Le Ponant was created to captivate hearts. You do not need to be a seasoned sailor in order to enjoy a ride. Le Ponant comes equipped with a sun deck, restaurant, lounge, lobby, and 32 staterooms.
