Designed specifically with the environment in mind, this new generation of small ships can navigate narrow channels, shallow bays and inlets and sensitive ecological environments during luxury expedition cruises, going where no ship has gone before and remaining energy efficient and environmentally protective of marine ecosystems, while its reinforced hull and custom stabilizers provide passengers a safe and comfortable voyage. Ponant’s ships have been awarded the prestigious “Clean Ship”designation due to their advanced eco-friendly features, a rarity among ocean-cruising vessels.
Chic and Casual Dining
International and regional cuisine is served indoors or alfresco in the stylish, spacious indoor-outdoor restaurant in single, unassigned seating; on the casual pool deck grill; or from 24-hour room service. Continental and buffet breakfasts, buffet lunch, afternoon tea, and a four-course dinner are served daily.
