Ultra-luxe cruise line Ponant is preparing to unveil its grand sailing vessel Le Ponant, following a complete refurbishment. Set to relaunch in the Mediterranean later this month, the 289-ft, three-masted ship has emerged as a sustainable flagship of the Ponant fleet.

Orchestrated by celebrated French design firm, Jean-Philippe Nuel Studio, the complete redesign has been two years in the making. Perhaps the most impressive feature of the vessel's refit is the reduction of guest cabins from 32 down to just 16 spread across three floors, offering space for a total of 32 guests. Thanks to the one-to-one guest-to-staff ratio, Le Ponant can now offer an intimate experience more like that of a private yacht that an impersonal cruise.
