Search Help
You can select more than one option in most of the form fields. Here are explanations of the search options we get asked about the most often:
Departure Port: If you only want to view results for cruises that start in a specific port, you can specify it here. You can select more than one (to see cruises that start at certain ports). For example, you can select both New York and Boston if you only want to view cruises that start in either New York or Boston.
→ In the "Advanced Search"
Arrival Port: If you only want to view results for cruises that end in a specific port, you can specify it here. You can select more than one (to see cruises that end at certain ports). For example, you can select both New York and Boston if you only want to view cruises that end in either New York or Boston.
Ports of Call: You can the type name of one port that you would like all your search results to include. For example, if you type Barcelona all of the search results will include cruises that include Barcelona (even if it's not a starting or ending port in the itinerary). Be sure to spell the port name correctly!
Max Occupancy: Allows you to view search results that only include ships that have accommodations for a minimum amount of people per room. For example, if you select "5 and more" your search results will only include ships that have at least one room type that would accommodate at least 5 people. The pricing that displays on the search results page will be the per person pricing based on a room for two people. Proceed further in the online booking process to view the pricing for accommodations for a different occupancy.
Kid-Friendly: Shows cruises that are great choices for those traveling with children and teens. Includes ships with youth programs and/or youth-friendly public spaces. Programs and public spaces are subject to change, at the discretion of the cruise line.
→ Cruise Only vs Cruise Line Tour
If you check the Cruise Only option, you will only see results that are for a cruise vacation. If you check the Cruise Line Tour option, you will only see vacations that include a cruise + land tour package (also known as a Cruise Tour). Leave both unchecked to view results that include both vacation types.

Part of the Ponant fleet, select Le Soleal itineraries are available through Tauck. Travel to mystical destinations and secret paths only a modest-sized ship can get to. There are very little limitations for Le Soleal, making her an excellent choice for those who want to see beyond the average sites. After all, isn't that what traveling is all about?
With its sleek shape and intimate atmosphere, Le Soleal is a mega-yacht that follows in the steps of her sister ships, L'Austral and Le Boreal. Le Soleal sails under the French flag, and joined the Ponant fleet during 2013.
Containing 132 staterooms and suites, some with balconies, this luxurious yacht provides top of the line service. The contemporary decor is inspired by the glamorous yachting world. With its fluid lines and vibrant colors, combining natural wood with shades of grey and white, Le Soleal is quite a sight.
Le Soleal's cultivated climate is polished by the quality of workmanship and architecture. The warmth of the leather that dresses the ships hull is contrasted by the white corinthian counters in the lobby. Ocean-themed sculptures populate certain areas. You will also notice the tennis stripe by the long bar, representing the elegance that France has to offer.
Le Soleal's capacity is up to 264 guests, which means that you will not have to deal with an over crowded ship. There is a well-trained team of 140 crew members, dedicated to providing guests with excellent and discreet service. Elevators make it extremely easy to get around to all decks. This ship is held to the highest standard in cleanliness, service and overall quality.
