Ponant Explorations has added a four-stateroom catamaran to its fleet to allow for “expansion to more destinations around the world”.
La Désirade will sail from Bonifacio through Southern Corsica and Sardinia until October 2025, and in the Caribbean from December 2025 to April 2026.
The seven or 14-day itineraries are suggested, but flexible, tailored by the captain and crew to suit guests’ wishes and weather.
The four staterooms are doubles, including an owner’s stateroom with suspended terrace. There are also two outdoor lounges, outdoor trampolines and four crew.
Spend days snorkelling, water skiing, or partaking in the new evolution of kite surfing – wing foiling. Underwater scooters are also part of the water toys on board.
When it’s time to dine, your private chef creates dishes showcasing flavours of the regions visited using fresh local produce.
In May, Ponant announced a new voyage to Baja California, Mexico, that it spent three years co-developing with local communities.
Departing in winter 2027, the 11-day journey aboard Le Bellot, was created in partnership with local conservation stewards and designed to leave a light footprint.
Wildlife and local cultural experiences will be at the forefront of that itinerary. There will also be visits to small Mexican towns, such as Loreto, to immerse in the local culture.
