Compagnie du Ponant Offers Free Singles Supplements on Sailings Around the Globe
May 15, 2014
The luxury expedition line, known for their destination focused itineraries to remote and exotic locales, offers close to 30 cruises aboard the line's three 132-stateroom sister ships, Le Soleal, Le Boreal and L'Austral, with free single supplement. Staterooms on all three ships are double occupancy or larger, all have ocean views and most have a private balcony. Compagnie du Ponant's all-inclusive pricing includes all meals, open bar, gratuities, port charges, taxes and fees. Select itineraries also include round-trip air.
Unlike other cruise lines where single cruisers have to book early or at the last minute to secure single-occupancy rooms without the additional charge, which can be 50% to 100% of the double occupancy fare, Compagnie du Ponant's free singles supplement cruises are available for booking throughout the season, with new itineraries added annually.
Solo sailors can voyage to Asia to discover new empires and ancient kingdoms in China, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam. Those who prefer the Adriatic and the Mediterranean can set sail from Venice to discover the delights of the Croatian coastline, or cruise from Athens and Istanbul to visit the Greek Islands and Turkey, or consider a cruise through Northern Europe, with stops in Sweden, Norway and Denmark. South America options include Peru, Chile, Argentina, and a very special Panama Canal crossing celebrating the Canal's 100th anniversary.
The intimate size of Compagnie du Ponant's ships offer an experience much like sailing on a private-yacht allowing guests to get know all the crew, staff and fellow passengers fairly quickly, offering a friendly atmosphere onboard and on excursions. Meal times, which are open seating, are another opportunity to meet and mingle with fellow passengers as everyone marvels over the French-inspired menus and pastries, as well as the plats du jour that often reflect the destination visited that day.
The following is just a sampling of Compagnie du Ponant's cruises offering free singles supplement:
