This 184-guest sistership of the Ponant Classic fleet, with marina platform and zodiac fleet, allows landings in remote bays that remain out of reach for larger cruise ships. You experience calving glaciers, island archipelagos and the silent Patagonia of the channels, combined with premium all-inclusive service and French-inspired onboard culture.
