Le Ponant sailing yacht becomes...

With just 16 staterooms, the vessel offers a luxury guest experience

After four years of regular ad hoc partnerships, Ponant and Relais & Châteaux are strengthening their ties with its three-master sailing yacht joining the family of Relais & Châteaux establishments as a new member.

This marks the first sailing yacht in history to obtain the label and be included in its catalogue of the finest travel addresses in the world.

Ponant CEO Hervé Gastinel said: “Both our firms are committed to sharing expertise and promoting the inimitable French lifestyle to design meaningful voyages. Aboard Le Ponant, the jewel of our fleet, everyone can reconnect with nature and their own inspirations and live out their desires under sail.”

With only 16 elegantly decorated staterooms and a dedicated chef, the travel experience for guests is as if they are on their own private yacht.

In addition, due to its size, Le Ponant can offer visits to smaller and more exclusive ports of call.

The first voyages aboard Relais & Châteaux member Le Ponant will be to the Cape Verde Islands and the Caribbean for the 2023/2024 season.
