Overview
Ponant partners with Tauck for small ship cruises aboard Le Soléal, a sleek French yacht christened by Kiki Tauck Mahar in 2013. One of four elegant sister ships in the Ponant fleet, Le Soléal combines intimate small-ship cruising with sophisticated French style, reaching ports and hidden harbors that larger vessels simply cannot access.
The six-deck ship evokes the feel of a boutique hotel at sea, with French designer interiors and an unmistakably European sensibility throughout. Dining showcases this French heritage in Le Restaurant Gastronomique, while the casual Le Grill offers lighter fare with outdoor seating. Le Théâtre hosts enriching lectures and evening entertainment, and the Panoramic Lounge invites guests to gather over drinks while watching the passing seascape through expansive windows.
Staterooms and suites reflect the ship's refined aesthetic, with most featuring private balconies and ocean views. Tauck guests enjoy complimentary beverages throughout the day, including house wines and spirits, along with exclusive shore excursions led by Tauck Directors. With her ice-strengthened hull and fleet of Zodiac boats for shore landings, Le Soléal delivers an intimate expedition experience wrapped in French elegance.
