Enjoy the Natural Wonders of Central America

September 23 – October 6, 2019
Full value: $16,940* for two passengers

Sail away on an exciting new itinerary featuring some of the most beautiful sites in Central America from aboard Ponant’s luxurious Le Soleal. From Guatemala to Ecuador, discover nature parks and idyllic islands, and experience encounters with local populations, including the semi-nomadic Embera community.

Designed in 2013, this ship embodies the subtle alliance between luxury, intimacy and well-being, which is Ponant’s signature. With only 132 staterooms and suites, Le Soleal is a rare and innovative yacht on the cruise market.

Ponant’s luxurious yachts are built on an intimate, human scale. French crew, expertise, attentive service, gastronomy—a five-star travel experience that is simultaneously authentic and sophisticated.

*Airfare, transfers not included.
