Banish all your preconceived ideas of cruising and enjoy the Spirit of Yacht Cruising For over 20 years now, COMPAGNIE DU PONANT has embodied the art of YACHT CRUISES, combining a sophisticated à la française lifestyle on board with exploration and discovery. Our mission is to transport you to mythical destinations and secret ports only accessible to small capacity ships. To offer the delights of a French-inspired cuisine in an intimate environment – a discreet service where no attention to detail is spared – and unforgettable moments of relaxation on board elegant yachts of character. To combine sophistication and conviviality, with priority given to authentic experiences, emotions and the ongoing quest for excellence. Yacht cruises: more than a cruise, a privilege…   There are a few staterooms available for our cruise Et Vogue l’Opéra on board L’AUSTRAL. This cruise is the opportunity to combine the splendor of a yacht cruise experience with passion for the Opera. This edition features internationally renowned artists reviving the culture and music of Verdi, Mozart, Rossini and Gounod. Join us onboard L’Austral during this exciting itinerary where the mega-yacht will be calling into Beirut (Lebanon) for the first time, known as the crossroads between three continents and a gateway to the East.
