WHY CHOOSE Ponant FOR YOUR charter?
2
A cruise on PONANT’s sophisticated small ships is a unique and inspiring experience. Envision creating unforgettable shared moments onboard our fleet of four modern and elegant sister ships—L’Austral, Le Boréal, Le Lyrial, and Le Soléal—or our lovely traditional sailing yacht, Le Ponant. Imagine French cuisine in an intimate environment, with discreet, attentive service where no detail is overlooked. Enjoy the spirit of camaraderie that comes with traveling aboard a private yacht with a small group of associates, colleagues, or friends. Unwind, discover, and explore while we take care of everything else. We offer corporations, businesses, and associations as well as private individuals the opportunity to travel as a group (occupying a minimum of 10 staterooms) on our cruises or to charter the entire ship for any type of customized cruise for any number of nights, from a quick three-day jaunt to a longer two-week (or beyond) experience. Our exceptional ships are an original and ideal venue for events such as a meeting, seminar, convention, or incentive trip, or social occasions like a family reunion, special birthday, landmark anniversary, or wedding, and provide a unique opportunity for team building, discovering, discussing, and sharing in an intimate setting where the focus can be whatever you choose.
Ponant
Our experienced, creative, and dedicated team of experts work with our clients to manage every step of the process that leads to a successful cruise and event: superb itineraries and excursions, customized activities, themes, all-inclusive logistics, and many other elements which lead to a well-planned and well-executed experience.

THE PONANT SHIPs: The Only Ships in their Class Certified as “Clean Ships” Our concern for the health and well-being of the planet is demonstrated by our active involvement in organizations dedicated to the promotion of ecologically responsible tourism and to the sharing of best practices. We are a proud member of the International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators and a signatory of La Charte Bleue d’Armateurs de France, both of which bind us to follow the most stringent rules and regulations governing safety and environmental protection. CLEAN SHIPS Above and beyond participation in these organizations, we have taken the additional step of having our four sister ships certified “Clean Ship” by the French classification society, Bureau Veritas, one of the world’s major ship classification societies. This coveted and seldom-awarded certification recognizes that the PONANT fleet—from initial design and construction to seagoing operations—has adopted the most environmentally responsible materials, equipment, and management procedures possible. Some of these state-of-the-art systems and processes include: • A silent electric propulsion system, with main engines and electric generators that use advanced control systems and burning light, low-sulfur fuels, reducing fuel consumption by up to 30% and greenhouse gas emissions by 40% • All ships are equipped with Dynamic Positioning, a sophisticated computer-controlled system, which allows them to maintain a mooring position without dropping anchor, thus eliminating potential damage to sensitive areas • Black water (sewage) is filtered and treated aboard ship; any solid residues at the end of the process are stored until they can be properly discharged ashore • Grey water (showers, dishwashers, laundry) is treated and recycled for use in cleaning the outside decks • Solid wastes (glass, paper, medical, food, etc.) are sorted, compacted where appropriate, and stored in refrigerated compartments until they can be properly disposed ashore • Bilgewater is treated with ceramic filtration systems to obtain an extremely low hydrocarbon content (less than 5 PPM instead of the regulatory 15 PPM) • The lighting aboard, based on LED and CFR technology, reduces up to 10 times the electrical power required from the ship’s electric generators

• F ar-sounding sonar, in addition to providing the bridge with 3-D pictures of the ocean floor, icebergs, and ice floes, also minimizes the risk of collision with marine mammals

PONANT’s cruise ships—L’Austral, Le Boréal, Le Lyrial, and Le Soléal—are not only the newest, most elegant, and most comfortable small vessels in the world today, they are also the most eco-friendly.
Meeting Facilities geared to your GOALS Our ships provide multiple meeting and event space options for your group or charter functions. The various venue sizes and configurations are perfect for your conferences, presentations, work sessions, meetings, parties, and events, offering intimate, self-contained environments assuring meeting attendance, team-building, and networking opportunities. Our dedicated shore and onboard staff are eager to assist you in choosing the right space for your purposes and to organize any arrangements needed to make your meeting or event a success. Meeting equipment (such as a projector, screen, microphone, podium, etc.) is available for your use. In between meetings or work sessions, enjoy breaks with coffee, tea, and snacks. And after a hard day’s work, a cocktail party with premium brands and chef’s choice of hot and cold hors d’oeuvres may also be arranged—a perfect way to meet and mingle with your fellow shipboard guests in a comfortable and intimate setting.

Le Ponant
Experience the privilege of a cruise aboard Le Ponant, crafted to respect the tradition of legendary sailing yachts. The ship capacity is limited to 64 guests, which provides intimacy and a convivial atmosphere. All 32 staterooms are decorated in a harmonious range of nautical shades. You will enjoy the refined life on board, the welcoming comfort of your cabin, the inviting lounges and restaurants, and decks extending along the full length of her 290 feet. This casually chic yacht is appreciated for its small size and a design evoking the sea—including a sun deck, outdoor restaurant, and direct access to the water from the marina swimming platform. With her sleek lines, her three masts reaching for the sky, and her sails ready to glide over the sea with the wind, Le Ponant captivates all who sail on her.
