LE PONANT PROFILE

With her sails up being borne along by the wind, Le Ponant captivates everyone with her beauty and personality.

This majestic 88m three-masted ship combines the charms of a racer with the privacy and comfort of a yacht. The elegance and sophistication of life on board, her cabins, lounges and restaurants, are all an invitation to relax. Thanks to her luxury yacht size, the atmosphere is intimate and friendly, and there's a chance to visit places not normally accessible to larger cruise ships.
