Pampering reaches new heights aboard this fully AIV privatized PONANT’s exquisite expedition yacht, Le Dumont d’Urville, as she sails through the Mediterranean’s most captivating shores. All shore experiences are curated for a maximum of just 12–14 guests per group, ensuring they remain personal, immersive, and entirely personalized. With capacity intentionally capped onboard as well (140 instead of the ship's capacity of 184), guests enjoy more space, refined French dining, an underwater lounge positioned below the waterline, a beautifully curated library, and a quiet, elegant atmosphere that feels closer to a private yacht than a traditional cruise ship. Over seven unforgettable days, explore the magic of Malta, from the golden charm of Valletta to the tranquil island of Gozo, before journeying onward to Sicily, where Taormina, Noto, Mount Etna, Syracuse, and Modica await with baroque beauty, rich flavors, and a hint of volcanic drama. With a dedicated crew of 118 at your service, expect nothing less than a voyage where fine dining, laughter, and Mediterranean elegance come together in perfect harmony.
