Our guests say it best!
"On board the Lyrial, voyage to the heart of the Adriatic leaving from and returning to Venice: FABULOUS! Beautiful vessel, very "classy"! An efficient crew, discreet, always smiling and very kind. The captain was accessible, entertaining and educative during his welcome and his presentation on the bridge (an invitation that I personally very much appreciated and shall remember!). Perfect gastronomy with a special mention for pastries and bakery. Hats off to the dancers of the "Paris C Show". This was our first PONANT cruise. On returning I have only one wish: to leave with you again!"
Alain B.
Le Lyrial Adriatic
"Travelling with PONANT is a delight . I always look forward to departing when I plan a cruise. I am a lover of the great outdoors and cruising in general on the seven seas. I'm not sure if it's perhaps the effervescent atmosphere of summertime cruises, but they're my favourite. Calm in the corridors and on the bridge, a joy during meals or afternoon tea, excellent socialising with other guests, glass of Champagne in hand. The aperitifs are a treat, the hostesses and stewards are always very attentive. What more could you need! PONANT is the ultimate cruise. Have a good trip!"
Michel M.
Le Ponant Ocean Voyage
"We took a cruise on Le Lyrial this year - what can we say? Fabulous! I’ve never seen a Commander who was so willing to spend time with guests, the entire crew (housekeeping, receptionists, bartenders, waiters, etc.), delicious meals, shore visits and a special mention for the dancers (the Dream Team) with whom we’ve kept in contact because it was our first time with PONANT but it definitely won’t be the last! Thanks to everyone."

Whether you choose to explore Northern Europe, the Mediterranean or Adriatic, you are sure to experience some magical moments. Here is a taste of some incredible moments which await.
UNITED KINGDOM
Access Dunottar Castle perched on a headland in Scotland
Dunottar brings to life any ideas we might have about Scotland's iconic landscapes and its ruined castles which remain just as splendid as ever. This castle proudly dominates the headland, standing 50 metres above the North Sea. Although its strategic location meant it played a key role in Scotland's history, now it's the site's beauty that attracts attention from international visitors.
EUROPE
Connect to history at the UNESCO sites
The numerous UNESCO World Heritage Sites scattered throughout Europe are a testament to the region's economic and cultural wealth and to the diversity of its people. Setting sail on a European cruise is a chance to admire a myriad of perfectly preserved artefacts and unmissable sites.

Visit a whisky distillery
Unique in Ireland and Great Britain, the old but still-operating Jameson Distillery produces high-quality whisky near Cork.
