Gliding the Waters of the Windward Islands

Summary

The trade winds blow over the Caribbean Sea, sweeping across the spectacular Windward Islands. Aboard Le Ponant, one paradisical spot follows another in a constantly azure sea: the Grenadines can be discovered between their immaculate beaches and abundant marine life; the wild island of Dominica unveils its mangroves full of birds; and Marie-Galante displays its sun-soaked way of life and legendary friendliness along its idyllic beaches. From the deck, other striking sights appear on the horizon, such as the iconic sunsets of Grande Anse d’Arlet or the incredible pitons of Saint Lucia.

 

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 you were on your very own yacht, savour the freedom of living in the moment, during this cruise to the heart of the mythical Windward Islands.
