PONANT’s “Piano Festivals at Sea” have become a must for fans of the instrument. In 2019, outstanding musicians will once again come together to give a series of exclusive concerts amongst the smaller, “undiscovered” islands of Greece and Turkey. As we sail the Aegean in pursuit of out-of-the-way destinations, each day finds us amid striking vistas that include forgotten ancient ruins, tucked-away Byzantine chapels, and villages where traditional occupations are still practiced. The evenings find us aboard Le Bougainville, where five acclaimed pianists provide scintillating music of the highest caliber. Brazilian star Nelson Freire, regarded as one of the best pianists in the world, will be accompanied by Russian virtuoso Anna Fedorova. Shani Diluka, a Sri Lankan poet with a delicate touch, Nicholas Angelich, a quasi-Proustian Franco-American pianist, and Frenchman Nicolas Stavy, a Liszt expert with fireworks for fingers, will also perform. A top-level piano festival awaits you!

Japan is a country pulled between its past and its future. On this voyage we focus on Japan’s history while enjoying exceptional chamber music and vocals from artists personally selected by director Alain Duault. Discover ancient religious traditions in Sakaiminato and at the Shinto Itsukushima Shrine, a UNESCO World Heritage site originally constructed over a thousand years ago. Pause in silent remembrance at the monument to a more recent history in Hiroshima, and discover the small city of Tamano, a former feudal domain. Composers Schubert and Schumann will be our guides throughout this marriage of Eastern tradition and sublime music, as they are interpreted by five great artists: Italian pianist Maurizio Baglini (who recorded the works of Schumann for Decca); violinist Geneviève Laurenceau of the smoldering bow; cellist Silvia Chiesa, the sonorous Italian star; Pierre Génisson whose caressingly-soft clarinet sound is almost indecent; and mezzo-soprano Delphine Haidan, with a voice that fully embraces the poetry of Schubert and Schumann.

Music ProgramThe first PONANT/Radio Classique music cruise to the Far East called for music in tune with the subtle inner landscape of the Land of the Rising Sun. Director Alain Duault has chosen two composers, Schubert and Schumann, whose music was born of a soul in torment, on a quest to find a sensory equivalent to this world suspended between water and sky.

PONANT is proud to partner with Krug, the most musical of champagne houses, to bring fado, opera, and guitar to sea. Krug takes a uniquely lyrical approach to champagne creation, and just as the type, quality, range, and expression of an instrument and its musician contribute to the final performance, so the origin of each wine, its varietal, unique terroir, particular level of freshness, roundness, and depth are all crucial to the creation of the whole. As we taste Krug’s award-winning champagnes, the magnificent Portuguese soprano Raquel Camarinha, the great Argentine pianist Marcela Roggeri, renowned guitarist Emmanuel Rossfelder, Russian violinist Liana Gourdjia, pianist Yoan Hereau, and passionate cellist Ophélie Gaillard will bring the emblematic music of Spain and Portugal to life. Join these talented artists and Krug Champagne in an exploration of the connection between sound and taste!

From the land of Gods to that of Lawrence of Arabia, our journey will be as rich in nature as in culture. Greece mixes enchanting landscapes and architectures connecting mythology to history, Turkey’s Ephesus is counted among the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World (and it is in front of its famous library that we will hold one of our opera recitals), the Suez Canal has given rise to two shores that tell two cultures, Luxor is still today the impressive testimony of one of most beautiful civilizations of antiquity. In the midst of these wonders, some of the great Belgian voices of today will resonate around the guest of honor, José van Dam, the “Music Master” and one of the most important personalities of the lyrical art of our time. Onboard, our theme of opera is omnipresent: lyrical concerts, a masterclass, an interview with Van Dam, films with commentary by Van Dam, opera broadcasts from the Royal Opera of Wallonia presented by its Director: do not miss out on this immersive musical voyage!


Performing ArtistsA Brussels native, bass baritone JOSÉ VAN DAM is one of today’s leading opera performers.

Join us on this new circuit through the Tyrrhenian and Adriatic Seas as we explore the medieval heritage that abounds on their shores. Begin with an exploration of the historic center of Naples, a UNESCO World Heritage site that is home to Baroque churches, romantic squares, and ancient palaces. In Taormina, we step back in time to admire the beautifully preserved ancient Greek/Roman theater, dominated by Mount Etna in the background. Before ending our voyage among the canals of La Serenissima, we visit the UNESCO-listed Palace of Diocletian in Split, designed by the emperor as his vacation home, and encounter two of the best-preserved medieval cities in all of Europe: Dubrovnik and Kotor. The perfect musical accompaniment to this journey is provided by violinist Didier Lockwood, who will perform with a quartet consisting of André Ceccarelli (drums), Antonio FaraÒ (piano), and Darryl Hall (cello).

From Naples to the AdriaticNaples to Venice (8 days/7 nights)

Aboard Le Lyrial May 13–20, 2019


Performing ArtistDIDIER LOCKWOOD was born in Calais in 1956 into a family of artists. He started to learn the violin at age seven, and at seventeen he joined the group Magma. It was the start of a remarkable career. His encounter with Stéphane Grappelli when aged just

20 shot him into the jazz stratosphere. During his 35-year career he has worked with the greatest musicians in the world. Didier is also a composer and has written two operas, two concertos for violins and orchestras, a concerto for piano and orchestra, lyrical poems and many other symphonic pieces, plus film scores.

The Sister ShipsLe Lyrial and Le Soléal are part of PONANT’s sister ship series, the youngest, most beautifully

conceived, and technologically sophisticated small ships afloat. Designed in France and built

in Italy, each vessel has its own color palette and thematic motif, but all share in the elegantly

understated aesthetic one associates with European sensibility and craftsmanship. PONANT

was selected for Conde Nast Traveler’s 2018 Gold List in the World’s Best Small Cruise Ship

category, and won Town & Country’s Cruise Awards for “Best Aboard” in 2017.

LIFE ABOARDLife aboard the ships is relaxed and refined, capturing the best of the French art of living well. Guests’ comfort and well-being are the special responsibility of the impeccably trained staff, whose discreet yet attentive service has become legendary among discriminating travelers. Our goal is to make you feel as though you are sailing aboard your very own yacht.

CUISINEThe quality of food, its preparation, the social experience of a meal—all those things that make up the French art and science of gastronomy—are the objects of special care aboard the ships. PONANT recently joined forces with Ducasse Conseil, a catering center of excellence run by Alain Ducasse Entreprise.

RESPECT FOR THE ENVIRONMENTThe health of our planet, and especially its oceans, is a critical concern for us. We have taken care to certify all of our vessels as “Clean Ships,” employing the most eco-friendly technology available. We continually seek to share industry best practices on matters ranging from increasing energy efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions to waste treatment and recycling.

SAFETY, COMFORT & CONVENIENCEThe sister ships are equipped with the latest communication, navigation, and safety equipment and meet or exceed USPHS and U.S. Coast Guard rules. They are also outfitted with a technologically advanced stabilizing system to minimize the effects of rough conditions at sea. Public amenities include an outdoor heated pool, a theater/lecture hall, a well-stocked library, and a full-service salon, steam room, spa, and fitness center.

REDEFINING REST & RELAXATIONAll suites and staterooms face outside and measure from 226 to 581 square feet, and all but eight have a balcony. Features and amenities include a king-size bed or twin beds, mini-bar, safe, individually controlled heat/air-conditioning, flat-screen TV, and in-house movies. Bathrooms come equipped with a shower (or shower/bathtub) and Hermès bath products.

The ExplorersPremiering in June 2018, PONANT’s four new luxury expedition ships will set sail to the world’s

most inaccessible locations and go further—where others do not go. The PONANT EXPLORER

yachts, each measuring 430 feet in length, are designed for just 184 guests and 110 crew

members. They feature innovative equipment, elegantly designed guest accommodations,

and welcoming lounge areas that open to the outside. And, in a world exclusive, the PONANT

EXPLORER yachts will be the first ships ever to be equipped with an underwater, multi-

sensory lounge, called Blue Eye, located within the hull 8 feet beneath the water line. Two

large windows provide views of the underwater marine life, which guests can also hear and

sense through unique wave technology.

THE PONANT SHIPSCARE FOR THE ENVIRONMENTPONANT’s concern for the health and well-being of the planet is demonstrated by our active involvement in organizations dedicated to the promotion of ecologically responsible tourism and to the sharing of best practices. We are a proud member of the International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators and a signatory of La Charte Bleue d’Armateurs de France, both of which bind us to follow the most stringent rules and regulations governing safety and environmental protection.

CLEAN SHIPSAbove and beyond participation in these organizations, we have taken the additional step of having all of our sister ships and the new PONANT EXPLORERS certified “Clean Ship” by the French classification society, Bureau Veritas, one of the world’s major ship classification societies. This coveted and seldom-awarded certification recognizes that the PONANT fleet—from initial design and construction to seagoing operations—has adopted the most environmentally responsible materials, equipment, and management procedures possible.

“Music gives a soul to the universe,

wings to the mind, flight to the imagination

and life to everything.”
