PONANT has unveiled a new itinerary for summer 2026 along the Côte d’Azur.
From May 2026, the French cruise company will be offering 32 guests the chance to sail along the French Riviera in its luxurious Relais & Châteaux-labelled ship Le Ponant.
The seven-night cruise will travel from Nice to Portofino and Menton (on the border of France and Italy), before heading to Antibes, Cannes and Saint-Tropez and returning to Nice.
Days will be spent swimming, paddleboarding, taking in the marine life from a glass-bottomed kayak, heading out on Zodiacs or simply soaking up the postcard-perfect views.
When it’s time to dine, all dishes are carefully crafted from local produce from the South of France.
Captain Jean-David Lemaire says, “Le Ponant is a proper sailing yacht for sailors, as we are managing the wind and sea every day”.
“Le Ponant is also a state of mind and connection with the marine element and environment, shared by the crew and the guests like a big family for the duration of this sailing cruise”.
The 2026 sailing will depart Nice on the 23rd of May and return on 30th of May.
