The Mediterranean
Under Sail from the Riviera to Sicily
Portofino, Ponza, Amalfi, Lipari… These names all evoke the eternal dolce vita , suspended between the azure blue and the maquis. Old fishing villages clinging to the cliffs, candy-coloured houses and volcanic islands appear before the sparkling blue of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Aboard Le Ponant, you will navigate under sail along the Ligurian, Amalfi and Sicilian coastlines to discover a mythical Italy, which gives pride of place to its way of life and history. Like Ulysses, you will be captivated by the song of these sirens, before secret coves, centuries-old lemon trees, old stones polished by the weather and small shaded cafés revealing their local delights. “Eternity. It is the sea mingled with the sun ,” according to a poem by Rimbaud. Whether you are a lover of the sea or a curious traveller, experience once again the indescribable joy of navigating under sail surrounded by the elements. Take your place aboard Le Ponant , a majestic three-mast yacht with elegant lines and an interior designed by the Jean-Philippe Nuel studio to be a warm and intimate setting with a highly distinctive character. As if on your very own yacht, savour the freedom of living in the moment.
