“Eternity. It is the sea mingled with the sun”, according to a poem by Rimbaud. Whether you are a lover of the sea or a curious traveller, experience once again the indescribable joy of navigating under sail, bathed by the wind and sea spray, surrounded by the elements. Take your place aboard Le Ponant, a majestic three-mast yacht with elegant lines and an interior design created by the Jean-Philippe Nuel studio to be a warm and intimate setting with a very distinctive personality. As if you were on your very own yacht, match your inner tempo to the boat’s subtle oscillations and savour the freedom of living in the moment, being fully present for your trip. Find out more about Le Ponant, here.
Aboard its emblematic yacht, PONANT is reshaping the contours of cruising and invites you to experience a new way of discovering the wonderful Mediterranean shores, between olive groves and sun-drenched vines. From unique and iconic ports of call to private moments, experience the very essence of the Mediterranean and welcome the unexpected like a breath of freedom.
With the evening light caressing the golden roofs of Dubrovnik, you will leave the Pearl of the Adriatic, and set sail for the South, towards the preserved oases of the Ionian and Aegean Seas.
Let yourself be captivated by these islands and their well-guarded treasures. Aboard Le Ponant, the wind will take you towards mineral fortresses and lush hiding places, inviting you to dream. Discover the soul of these islands, which is ingrained in their history and their singularities. From cultural riches to local produce, external influences reshape the contours of Greek identity.
You will sail towards the beautiful and secret Paxos, covered with olive trees and bathed with legends in the aquamarine and dark blue sea.
Let yourself fall under the spell of the charming port of Fiskardo with its Venetian inspiration, on the island of Kefalonia, very close to Ithaca.
You will now head towards the south-east of the Peloponnese. The fortified peninsula of Monemvasia will reveal itself, monumental, like a ship of stone overlooking the azure.
You will sail, senses heightened, towards Kythnos, a wild and hilly rock, tamed by traditional and environmentally friendly agriculture.
Then you will reach the charming port of Lavrio, located very close to beautiful Athens. The experiences, designed for you and with you, create possibilities for going back to basics in a setting that is conducive to contemplation. At your own pace, immerse yourself in wild and stunning panoramas, away from the crowds, and enjoy moments spent in harmony with nature: glass-bottom kayaking, snorkelling, paddle-boarding, bike riding*.

PONANT activities
A horse-drawn carriage at sunset and a bucolic dinner
You will leave behind the saffron-coloured rooftops of Dubrovnik and your yacht’s sleek silhouette to enjoy a horse-drawn carriage ride to the heart of the lush Konavle Valley and its sun-drenched vineyards. The Croatian hinterland will reveal itself in the waning light; the villages will go by slowly as the horses clip-clop along drowsily in the summer heat. There, on the banks of the Lljuta, a bucolic and refreshing setting, you will enjoy dishes and wines typical of the region. The streams will catch light in the incandescent glow of twilight as you detect the poetic babble of the water close by.
In this small corner of paradise, experience an unforgettable interlude.
Be inspired by these unique experiences designed to take you off the beaten track: a wide selection of optional paying and unique offers with a limited number of places, to immerse yourself in the treasures and traditions of the region. On board, your travel concierge is available to tailor a programme just for you and fulfil even your most unexpected wishes or help you (re)discover must-see sites.
At the heart of Bali Gorge and a watermill
Near Monemvasia, Talanta is an enchanting village sheltered by the Bali Gorge, a forest haven where myrtle, olive trees and plane trees grow. Here, an abundance of water flows, finding a way to the sea. Along the stone-paved path, you will discover the vestiges of the 12 watermills that once operated here. As you leave behind a restored mill where the villages gather at the end of each week to grind their wheat and perpetuate their traditions, the babble of the water accompanies your stroll through this idyllic landscape. Images from the early 20th century promise a trip back in time, while discovering the flora will awaken your senses. Back at the mill and its wonderful natural setting, you will be able to enjoy some fresh and local products.
Paradisos is what the locals call this oasis of coolness and tranquillity.

You will perhaps be surprised by the proportions of La Placa, the central drag through the city. The sheer width of it can be explained by the fact that it straddles a former lagoon. The elegant houses along La Placa are built in the legendary travertine stone. At Pile gate, you will be greeted by the statue of the patron saint of Dubrovnik, and you can admire the coastline as you walk along the ramparts. But what’s inside Fort Saint John, adjoining the outer walls? A maritime museum and an aquarium featuring rare fish from the Adriatic.

The jewel of the southern Peloponnese, Monemvasia is the romantic refuge for Athenians. Given the poetic nickname of the “stone ship”, this majestic peninsula is home to an incredible fortified medieval village, lying at the foot of its abrupt cliffs, which seems to have been cast by the gods from the Aegean Sea. Contemplate the horizon from its ramparts, a veritable walkway defying the azure waters, and stroll through its vaulted narrow streets with their thousand shades of ochre. At the crossroads of western and eastern influences and the maritime routes of the continent, Crete and the Cyclades, Monemvasia has preserved in this magical decor the treasures of Venetian and Byzantine architecture.

Discover the chora and its beautiful white houses by taking a stroll along the intertwined streets. A breakfast of traditional local dishes is planned, in an enchanting and private setting. Then, the welcoming shade of a parasol awaits you for a nap on the beach. You might also be tempted by a swim or a spot of paddle-boarding or kayaking to discover the exceptional landscapes of this island surrounded by the exceptionally beautiful Aegean Sea.
