Schubert & Schumann:

Piano & Lieder in Japan

Maizuru to Osaka (9 days/8 nights) Aboard Le Soléal  May 17–25, 2019

Japan is a country pulled between its past and its future. On this voyage we focus on Japan’s history while enjoying exceptional chamber music and vocals from artists personally selected by director Alain Duault. Discover ancient religious traditions in Sakaiminato and at the Shinto Itsukushima Shrine, a UNESCO World Heritage site originally constructed over a thousand years ago. Pause in silent remembrance at the monument to a more recent history in Hiroshima, and discover the small city of Tamano, a former feudal domain. Composers Schubert and Schumann will be our guides throughout this marriage of Eastern tradition and sublime music, as they are interpreted by five great artists: Italian pianist Maurizio Baglini (who recorded the works of Schumann for Decca); violinist Geneviève Laurenceau of the smoldering bow; cellist Silvia Chiesa, the sonorous Italian star; Pierre Génisson whose caressinglysoft clarinet sound is almost indecent; and mezzo-soprano Delphine Haidan, with a voice that fully embraces the poetry of Schubert and Schumann.

M us ic P r og r a m The first PONANT/Radio Classique music cruise to the Far East called for music in tune with the subtle inner landscape of the Land of the Rising Sun. Director Alain Duault has chosen two composers, Schubert and Schumann, whose music was born of a soul in torment, on a quest to find a sensory equivalent to this world suspended between water and sky. 7 CONCERTS: 1 piano recital + 2 Lieder recitals + 2 chamber music concerts + 1 lecture-concert + 1 encore concert

PONANT is proud to partner with Krug, the most musical of champagne houses, to bring fado, opera, and guitar to sea. Krug takes a uniquely lyrical approach to champagne creation, and just as the type, quality, range, and expression of an instrument and its musician contribute to the final performance, so the origin of each wine, its varietal, unique terroir, particular level of freshness, roundness, and depth are all crucial to the creation of the whole. As we taste Krug’s award-winning champagnes, the magnificent Portuguese soprano Raquel Camarinha, the great Argentine pianist Marcela Roggeri, renowned guitarist Emmanuel Rossfelder, Russian violinist Liana Gourdjia, pianist Yoan Hereau, and passionate cellist Ophélie Gaillard will bring the emblematic music of Spain and Portugal to life. Join these talented artists and Krug Champagne in an exploration of the connection between sound and taste!

The Great Voices of Belgium Under the Sun of the East Athens to Aqaba (11 days/10 nights) Aboard Le Bougainville  November 15–25, 2019

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH

From the land of Gods to that of Lawrence of Arabia, our journey will be as rich in nature as in culture. Greece mixes enchanting landscapes and architectures connecting mythology to history, Turkey’s Ephesus is counted among the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World (and it is in front of its famous library that we will hold one of our opera recitals), the Suez Canal has given rise to two shores that tell two cultures, Luxor is still today the impressive testimony of one of most beautiful civilizations of antiquity. In the midst of these wonders, some of the great Belgian voices of today will resonate around the guest of honor, José van Dam, the “Music Master” and one of the most important personalities of the lyrical art of our time. Onboard, our theme of opera is omnipresent: lyrical concerts, a masterclass, an interview with Van Dam, films with commentary by Van Dam, opera broadcasts from the Royal Opera of Wallonia presented by its Director: do not miss out on this immersive musical voyage!

M us ic P r og r a m Featuring Stefano Mazzonis di Pralafera, director the Royal Opera of Wallonia, this voyage pairs José van Dam with three great Belgium voices of the new generation to bring opera to the far reaches of the Mediterranean and the Red Sea, all under the leadership of Artistic Director Alain Duault.

A Brussels native, bass baritone JOSÉ VAN DAM is one of today’s leading opera performers. Since his debut in Paris, in Les Troyens, he has been the regular guest at the world’s most important opera houses and festivals (Paris, Covent Garden, La Scala of Milan, Wiener Staatsoper, the Metropolitan Opera, etc.). His most famous roles include Falstaff, Simon Boccanegra, Philip II (Don Carlos), Don Giovanni, and many others. Jose also developed a career in the oratorio and lied fields; his repertoire is just as wide. He received the rank of Knight in the order of the Legion of Honor, and in 1998 was ennobled by King Albert II. Baritone LIONEL LHOTE graduated from Brussels’ Conservatoire Royal de Musique. His career started at Opéra Royal de Wallonie, and since his international breakthrough, he has appeared as Sharpless in Madama Butterfly (a role he is reprising in the 2018 season), Faninal in Rosenkavalier, Don Alfonso in Nozze di Figaro, and many others. He distinguished himself in the role of Somarone in two different productions of Berlioz’s Béatrice et Bénédictone. Lionel looks forward to singing the Directeur de la Troupe in Pinocchio, the latest opera by the Belgian composer Philipee Boesmans.

The Sister Ships Le Lyrial and Le Soléal are part of PONANT’s sister ship series, the youngest, most beautifully conceived, and technologically sophisticated small ships afloat. Designed in France and built in Italy, each vessel has its own color palette and thematic motif, but all share in the elegantly understated aesthetic one associates with European sensibility and craftsmanship. PONANT was selected for Conde Nast Traveler’s 2018 Gold List in the World’s Best Small Cruise Ship category, and won Town & Country’s Cruise Awards for “Best Aboard” in 2017.

LIFE ABOARD Life aboard the ships is relaxed and refined, capturing the best of the French art of living well. Guests’ comfort and well-being are the special responsibility of the impeccably trained staff, whose discreet yet attentive service has become legendary among discriminating travelers. Our goal is to make you feel as though you are sailing aboard your very own yacht.

CUISINE The quality of food, its preparation, the social experience of a meal—all those things that make up the French art and science of gastronomy—are the objects of special care aboard the ships. PONANT recently joined forces with Ducasse Conseil, a catering center of excellence run by Alain Ducasse Entreprise.

RESPECT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT The health of our planet, and especially its oceans, is a critical concern for us. We have taken care to certify all of our vessels as “Clean Ships,” employing the most eco-friendly technology available. We continually seek to share industry best practices on matters ranging from increasing energy efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions to waste treatment and recycling.

SAFETY, COMFORT & CONVENIENCE The sister ships are equipped with the latest communication, navigation, and safety equipment and meet or exceed USPHS and U.S. Coast Guard rules. They are also outfitted with a technologically advanced stabilizing system to minimize the effects of rough conditions at sea. Public amenities include an outdoor heated pool, a theater/lecture hall, a well-stocked library, and a full-service salon, steam room, spa, and fitness center.

REDEFINING REST & RELAXATION All suites and staterooms face outside and measure from 226 to 581 square feet, and all but eight have a balcony. Features and amenities include a king-size bed or twin beds, mini-bar, safe, individually controlled heat/air-conditioning, flat-screen TV, and in-house movies. Bathrooms come equipped with a shower (or shower/bathtub) and Hermès bath products.

Explorers

Premiering in June 2018, PONANT’s four new luxury expedition ships will set sail to the world’s most inaccessible locations and go further—where others do not go. The PONANT EXPLORER yachts, each measuring 430 feet in length, are designed for just 184 guests and 110 crew members. They feature innovative equipment, elegantly designed guest accommodations, and welcoming lounge areas that open to the outside. And, in a world exclusive, the PONANT EXPLORER yachts will be the first ships ever to be equipped with an underwater, multisensory lounge, called Blue Eye, located within the hull 8 feet beneath the water line. Two large windows provide views of the underwater marine life, which guests can also hear and sense through unique wave technology.

THE PONANT SHIPS CARE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

PONANT’s 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 all of our sister ships and the new PONANT EXPLORERS certified “Clean Ship” by the French classification society, Bureau Veritas, one of the world’s major ship classification societies. This coveted and seldomawarded 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.
