Le Bellot Cruises

Expedition adventures with Le Bellot

The passengers of Le Bellot travel with a high grade of comfort to the remotest regions of the world on board of a high luxury yacht. To the ship series of the Ponant Explores belong six expedition yachts that are identical in construction, including Le Bellot. These relatively small ships sail to extraordinary destinations and can reach many small harbors that cannot be called by big cruise ships. The ship was named after the French polar explorer Joseph-René Bellot and lets its passengers follow his ways on luxury expeditions.
