Compagnie du Ponant take delivery of their 2nd luxury

small ship - L'Austral

 
April saw the French cruise line - Compagnie du Ponant take delivery of their second (Austral) of three near identical small - 5 star - luxury cruise ships. 

In the short period that their first of this series of ships "Le Boreal" has been operating she has wowed both the industry and cruise clientele.  Here is serious competition for the likes of Seabourn, Silverseas and Regent Seven Seas.

Operating the three ships in seasonal rotations they will (with the delivery of ship three) pretty much have the world covered.  Exciting itineraries that in many cases only these smaller ships can operate.  Going to ports and places that one rarely ever see's in most cruise lines brochures. 

On-board, over the years Compagnie du Ponant have delivered a 5-star deluxe experience - exceptionally friendly and helpful crew create an individual personal feeling of being on a large private yacht - no question - you are not just another number on these ships.

Cuisine as one would expect on a French run luxury ship is bordering on the exceptional as well, unique and individual menu's crafted to take advantage of seasonal and local produce sourced in many cases from markets visited during your cruise.

Many of you are probably not familiar with this cruise line as they have generally flown under the radr, but with the delivery of their three new ships they are starting to become something of a household word in the luxury segment of the cruise market - a brief resume of the company can be found here - Ponant.

We have also enclosed a link to their Winter 2011/12 brochure - take a moment to check out the ports of call and so on.. you are sure to find something that catches your interest - brochure.

Worldwide has been working with Compagnie du Ponant since their start up days in the 1980's we are fully conversant with the ships and have great working relationship with the company having place a large number of corporate charters onboard over the years.
