COMPAGNIE DU PONANT CELEBRATES 25 YEARS
WITH NEW SHIP, LE SOLÉAL, AN ARRAY OF SPECIAL OFFERS
AND A YEAR OF SPECIAL EVENTS
Le Soléal
MARSEILLE -- (April 29, 2013) -- This year, Compagnie du Ponant, the luxury yacht cruise company, market leader for polar destinations and five-star expedition specialist, is celebrating its 25th anniversary with 25% off on a selection of eight cruises in Asia, the Mediterranean, the Great Canadian North, South America and Russia. As part of the anniversary celebration, an exceptional series of celebrity guests including musicians, performers and lecturers will be on board select sailings throughout the year. The Anniversary savings offer is valid for reservations made between now and May 25, 2013 for cruises on Le Boréal, L’Austral and Le Soléal (each offering 132 staterooms and suites), and three-masted Le Ponant (with 32 staterooms).
Each of the 132-cabin yachts offers an elegant and intimate ambience with spacious suites, impeccable service and excellent food and wine – plus their small size allows them to reach destinations that larger ships cannot. Passengers also enjoy the company of leading experts, historians and naturalists who are passionate about their subject as guides and lecturers.
In April 1988, with a dozen officers from the French Merchant Navy, current CEO Jean Emmanuel Sauvée embarked on this adventure by building the company’s first ship, the famous three-masted Le Ponant. What started as a dream is now a flourishing reality, with the addition of three prestigious vessels to the fleet, sister ships Le Boréal, L’Austral and Le Soléal, which sails on her inaugural cruise from Venice to Barcelona on July 1, 2013.
An experienced bilingual crew, attentive service and exceptional itineraries in elegant surroundings is what distinguishes Compagnie du Ponant as a modern and innovative fleet that has been sailing the world’s oceans for 25 years.
To mark the occasion, various events and offers have been organized throughout the year:
