Ponant Ireland Cruise 0 , Florida, United States, Aug 2025
Highlights: Kinsale town walk, Charles Fort, Blarney Castle, Ballycotton cliff walk, Fishguard town walk, and Warrepoint e-bike tour. Cruise experience on Le Bellot was exceptional from the cabin to the ship's facilities. Staff and crew were very accommodating. Tips: Book a deluxe suite for additional space without breaking the bank. Bring water resistant read more outer wear and comfortable walking/hiking boots for excursions. Be flexible with the itinerary; weather may impact port visits.
I’m a Ponant fan! 2 Historical Cities of the Mediterranean , ACT, Australia, Apr 2024
Loved everything about our Ponant cruise. Excursions were well organised and having a Ponant crew member as support was a big plus. Restaurant staff were charming and service was impeccable. Quizzes, dance lessons and shows were a lot of fun. We specifically loved the ambience of a small ship. So great, even my teenage granddaughter had the best read more time and never bored. Highly recommended!
