Voyage Itinerary

9 January

Setting sail from Pointe-à-Pitre

Pointe-a-Pitre is at the centre of the butterfly-shaped Guadeloupe, an island fringed with golden sand beaches and mangrove forest and coral reefs. The town itself is home to Musée ACTe, a modern museum dedicated to the history and heritage of slavery in the Caribbean. It is the only museum of its kind in the world, explicating the effects of the institution in a clear-eyed and educational way.

10 January

Guadeloupe: Iles des Saintes

Eight tiny islands make up the Iles des Saintes, a sparsely inhabited archipelago off the southern coast of Guadeloupe. The most interesting island is hilly Terre-de-Haut, almost entirely populated by the fair-skinned descendants of Breton sailors and home to a beautiful bay reminiscent of a mini Rio de Janeiro.

11 January

Antigua and Barbuda: Falmouth Harbour

Antigua is famously home to 365 beaches - one for every day of the year - and there is an undeniable allure to the many white sand coves dotted along the coast. Falmouth Harbour lies on the south of the island, close to historic Nelson’s Dockyard and the lookout at Shirley Heights.

12 January

Antigua and Barbuda: Barbuda

Barbuda enjoys a much lower profile than her sister island Antigua, with only a scattering of hotels. This is a huge part of the island’s appeal, along with mile after mile of stunning pink sand beach, great snorkelling and wildlife including fallow deer, wild boar and frigate birds.

Saint Kitts and Nevis: Nevis

Sleepy, low key and utterly charming, Nevis is a real Caribbean gem. Dominated by the towering Nevis Peak, the island is dotted with former plantation houses that have been turned into characterful hotels. Drop in for lunch or afternoon tea, and if there’s time have a look round the elegantly faded Georgian capital, Charlestown.

14 January

Saint Barthélemy: Gustavia

Gustavia is the chic and petite capital of Saint Barths, a tiny French Caribbean island that’s renowned as a haunt of the rich and the famous. You can certainly live well here if you’ve got the means, with an array of gourmet restaurants and luxury boutiques aimed squarely at the A-list. The beautiful beaches, on the other hand, are free and open to all.

15 January

Antigua and Barbuda: Prickly Pear Island

16 January

Arriving in Marigot

Marigot is the gateway to an intriguing little Caribbean island with a dual personality: the Dutch side, St. Maarten, is the livelier of the two, with shopping malls, casinos and more of a nightlife scene, while French-speaking St. Martin is a more refined (and more expensive) affair, with a laid-back, continental air and a host of exclusive resorts and restaurants.

Our tip

For a change of pace, go to Loterie Farm at the foot of Pic Paradis, the highest point on Saint Martin, where you can cool off, see the wildlife and rent a cabana for a day of swimming in the cascades.

The ship

Le Ponant

Capacity:
32 Guests
Crew:
33 Staff
Style:
Refined with a wonderful mix of a modern super yacht andnautical tradition, all with a French flair.

Le Ponant is a beautiful three-masted sailing yacht carrying just 32 guests, small enough to visit some of the world's most secluded harbours.

What we love

Ponant's most intimate ship came into service over 20 years ago, but is still much loved today. The yacht is ultra sleek in its design, and the modern staterooms all have porthole windows. The mostly francophone guests love the al fresco nature of the public spaces, with a large sundeck, outdoor restaurant and swimming marina, and you'll always feel connected to the sea.

    From cruise tips to travel protection, here are some of our most-asked questions

    visit our faqs

    Will I save by booking with Mundy Cruising?

    Absolutely. You'll save money and time by booking with us rather than directly with the cruise line and enjoy more flexibility in your travel arrangements. We have access to preferential rates and exclusive offers, and we offer expert advice on how to get the best value.

    What are the benefits of a small luxury ship?

    Because small ships are able to reach smaller ports of call and provide a higher level of service than their big ship counterparts, we believe that small ship cruising is the very best way to travel. Usually they offer more space per person, and an attentive team to make sure you have the very best experience. Small ship cruising offers the very best of the best.
