Along the legendary South China Sea, take in the dazzling jewels of Vietnam, blending exuberant nature with a fascinating history. At each stop, the scenery reveals striking contrasts: the peaceful fishing villages of the Côn Dao Islands lie alongside wild beaches lapped by turquoise waters; ancient towns, home to temples and imperial remains, emerge from the lush vegetation; and coastal cities stretch along vast expanses of golden sand. On the Saigon River, the atmosphere feels almost cinematic: the water becomes a mirror reflecting the city’s lights and movement, while in Halong Bay, the mist blurs all contours before suddenly revealing a mineral silhouette, creating the impression of sailing through an ancient painting. This promises to be an unforgettable journey into a world of contrasts and mystery.

Designed in 2013 and loyal to the PONANT spirit, Le Soléal like her sisterships embodies the subtle alliance between luxury, intimacy and wellbeing which is Ponant’s signature. The elegance of her exterior and interior lines and her intimate size (only 132 staterooms and suites)make this a rare and innovative yacht on the cruise market.

Interior Design:
With her fluid lines and a modern colour scheme combining natural wood with shades of grey and white, Le Soléal presents references to a nautical theme.
