Le Ponant offering winter itineraries in the Seychelles
PONANT’s three-mast sailing yacht Le Ponant is offering immersive Seychelles voyages for the 2022-2023 winter season.
A total of 11 departure dates are planned including two new ports of call – the African Banks north of the Amirante Islands and Thérèse Island.
These islands are uninhabited.
As a prelude to the Seychelles sailings, guests have the option to book a pre-cruise night in an eco-lodge in dunes on the Arabian Peninsula desert.
The Le Ponant sailings offer a range of full immersion activities tailored to best experience the Seychelles, including scuba diving, free diving initiation, yoga at sunrise and sunset, meditation, paddleboarding, and outings in glass-bottomed kayaks or snorkelling.
Le Ponant will sail with an expedition leader and three naturalist guides, among them a yoga expert and free diver instructor.
Le Ponant has been totally renovated with a new design created by the Jean-Philippe Nuel Studio
The intimate vessel houses only 16 staterooms for a maximum of 32 guests.
It is fitted with the latest emissions reduction tech and there are no motorised watersports, with individual or small group landings only.
