PROS

Intimate ship with excellent staff

CONS

Rooms are small

RECOMMENDED

Yes

Food was excellent and high quality. Produce was always at their peak. Gala dinners served all at once was not my favorite due to lack of choice. Twice daily excursions were awesome. One of the most beautiful cruises I have taken. Breathtaking. Expedition team was very good and all with specialities that enhanced the experience. The team changes every week or two and therefore the expedition briefings were inconsistent. I believe the biggest area for improvement is to have Ponant develop an overall program. I loved Expedition cruising with Ponant and will very likely travel with them again.
