Aboard Le Soléal, guests enjoy an intimate luxury expedition experience, with elegant accommodations and fine dining. These cruises are an opportunity to witness one of the last great wildernesses on the planet. Whether exploring Macquarie Island, the Snares, or the Auckland and Campbell Islands, Ponant’s Subantarctic cruises provide a deeply immersive and awe-inspiring expedition into the wildest corners of the Southern Ocean.
