Le Bellot Cruises

MS Le Bellot will be the 5th in a 6-ship series for Ponant Cruises Explorer-class yachts. She joins fleet mates and sisterships Le Laperouse (2018), Le Champlain (2018), Le Bougainville (2019), and Le Dumont-d'Urville (2019), with Le Jacques C artier also to appear in 2020. Named after famous French explorers, these sleek five-star luxury vessels will have the finest equipment for safety and stability.The ships are designed to venture into Polar regions and remote ports that allow passage to small ships, with a shallow 4.6m draught. The ship’s cuisine will be emphatically French, offering menus in partnership with Ducasse Conseil, a company from famed chef Alain Ducasse.
