LE PONANT

LE PONANT is a unique vessel that has just benefited from a complete ‘rebuild’ so the interior and exterior decks are all new. The layout was updated to create 16 large comfortable guest suites, and the schedule for 2023 and 2024 takes her to some stunning destinations that would be ‘once in a lifetime’ opportunities to explore with extended family and friends.

The beautiful, French-built yacht LE PONANT offers a unique voyage to discover The Kimberley and Western Australia. The three-mast sailing yacht creates a peaceful experience sailing through Australian waters. The ship is spread over five decks, offering private convertible cabins, an array of watersports, a fully equipped gym and a French-inspired spa. There is a strong focus on hospitality, with one crew member per passenger and just thirty-two guests on board. As the only cruise company sailing under the French flag, LE PONANT is a hallmark of the French way of life. On board, this is translated through exceptional services, a multilingual crew and bringing French inspiration.

The cuisine on board is outstanding, and a big part of the experience. The Execuitve Chef is French and there is a team of five in total in the galley.

The crew also includes an Expedition Leader and expert Naturalist, who will be able to guide the guests to ensure the most memorable experiences for both adults and children. Note the four expedition-style Zodiac tenders are intended for real exploration of the ultra wild coastlines that LE PONANT will visit.
