THE PONANT EXPEDITION TEAM

Made up of captivating and enthusiastic expedition leaders, naturalist guides, and experts, the PONANT expedition team will unlock the doors to pristine natural spots. During the outings on Zodiac boats and onboard talks, the team will give you the key to discover points of interest and wildlife sightings, understand the traditions and ways of life of locals (there are a few!), and get up close and personal with this remote region.

SMALL BOAT LANDINGS* INCLUDED.

Each day, based on ice conditions, the Captain and the Expedition Leader will suggest Zodiac outings or landings to discover the infinite riches of the Antarctic Peninsula: glaciers, ice floe, tabletop icebergs, mountain peaks that plunge straight into the sea, volcanic beaches, research stations, enchanting bays, and vestiges of the whaling industry. The sturdy boats enable both water-based exploration and safe landings in otherwise inaccessible areas. Keep in mind that you’ll need to be agile to board these boats, but there’s otherwise no need to worry about traveling in them. In Antarctica, it’s mandatory to use rubber boots for all landings. These boots will be provided to you. Landing operations depend on favorable conditions.

EXPEDITION LEADERS. INCLUDED.

PONANT LE LYRIAL

Le Lyrial, like Sisterships Le Boreal, Le Soléal, and L’Austral, epitomizes the unique feel and atmosphere of the ships of the PONANT fleet. Subtly combining luxury, intimacy, and serene well-being, the ship has been designed to offer her guests both moments of conviviality and spaces conducive to peaceful tranquility and a sense of escape and getting away from it all. Her exterior and interior lines testify to the ingeniousness and refinement with which the Sisterships have been designed.

Le Lyrial was built in 2015 and has led the way among PONANT’s expedition ships for over a decade. She’s a stunning vessel with sleek lines and an unusual dark-gray hull that makes her truly stand out. Le Lyrial is decidedly upscale and unashamedly French. Exceptionally well suited for expedition voyages to Antarctica, she’s guaranteed to take your breath away.

                  TRIP INSURANCE: GET IT!

                  There’s one question every traveler across the globe universally faces: should I purchase Travel Insurance? It’s natural to ask yourself, “should I spend the extra dollars to protect my vacation investment?” Or do I leave it in the hands of Lady Luck and hope for the best. At VACAYA, we’ve always believed Trip Insurance is critical to the vacation planning process. That’s why we took special care to integrate the purchase opportunity into our online booking process.

                  Nothing breaks our heart more than hearing from guests who elect not to purchase insurance, but then something tragic – a death, the loss of a home, etc. – happens and they’re unable to attend the event. As painful as it for us, VACAYA is unable to be your insurance in those moments. And as sad as the stories are, we’re unable to break our Terms & Conditions with you. The reason for that is because to maintain our Seller of Travel licenses and to comply with all regulations, we must administer our Terms & Conditions equitably across all guests. Failure to do so risks VACAYA’s very existence.

                  We recommend a “Cancel For Any Reason” or CFAR policy for everyone, and for good reason: if you decide you don’t want to travel after the cancellation penalty period has begun, this type of insurance covers you against total loss. It’s also a great way to help honor your Social Contract with VACAYA.

                  So go ahead and buy that bucket list trip, but protect your health and your investment by purchasing Trip Insurance. ❤️
