Set off to explore the cultural and natural treasures of the Philippines, Brunei and Malaysia’s Sarawak region during an odyssey along the South China Sea. From Corregidor in Manila Bay, you will be immersed in a captivating history where the echoes of a colonial past and the battles of the Second World War still resonate. Throughout this journey, you will encounter a majestic natural world revealing the striking beauty of its wonders. Along these sun-drenched shores, the Puerto Princesa subterranean river flows through karst caves, the rich marine biodiversity of Coron invites discovery, while the beaches of the Balabac Islands stretch out under a gentle breeze, and abundant life flourishes in the lush mangroves of Brunei. Then, in Malaysia, fall under the spell of Kuching, the elegant capital of Sarawak, with its historic façades and lively markets, before the floating cities of Borneo reveal their heritage.
Like Le Boréal and L’Austral, the two sister ships that preceded it, Le Soléal further reaffirms PONANT's signature approach: to take passengers to the farthest reaches of the planet onboard modern ships offering top-of-the-range services.
An elegant appearance and refined interior design combine with cutting-edge technology to offer a new type of cruising: adventure in a luxury setting.
