Creator's Key Takeaways

The food on the ship was top-notch and the service was excellent.

The panoramic observation lounge, which is located at the bow of deck 6, is one of the most beautiful places on the ship.

The intimate environment made it easy for those solo travelers to connect with other passengers.

Pon bills it as the world's first ever underwater cruise ship lounge.

βœ“Request a different pillow if the provided one doesn't suit your taste.
βœ“Use the complimentary insulated water bottle provided.

YouTube Video Description↓

If you are considering a cruise on Ponant, this video gives an overview of the ship's layout, stateroom layout, activities, events, amenities, and embarkation and disembarkation processes. Ponant's all-inclusive cruise fare covers everything on the ship, including Wifi and tips, which is unusual in the cruise industry. There were a plethora of daily activities, including lectures, discussions, live music, games, and performances. Of course, the best part was the intimacy of having a small ship, where everyone got to know each other. For senior travelers, Ponant always offered a range of excursions, so you could pick something to meet your needs. For solo travelers, I wasn't aware of any solo travelers deals, although there were at least two solo travelers on board that I met. It was a lively, yet elegant atmosphere and I would definitely cruise on Ponant again in the future. @seniorsolotravel Facebook Travel Forum: https://www.facebook.com/groups/443309331791413 Senior Solo Travel Website: https://www.seniorsolotravel.net/ Ponant Cruises: https://us.ponant.com/ Scandinavian & Baltic Trip videos: Vilnius: https://youtu.be/FL8f7rP7qP8 Air Baltic-Economy: https://youtu.be/lhokVU-Xw_U Riga: https://youtu.be/ZPPP943sEds Lux Express Coach-Tallinn to Riga: https://youtu.be/l5_fMoGlSHQ Tallinn: https://youtu.be/IVK_vsC4OY0 Helsinki to Tallin Ferry: https://youtu.be/EzeAn1C4FvM Helsinki: https://youtu.be/lR6o6URJ3lM Stockholm-Helsinki Overnight Ferry: https://youtu.be/TTVAlq-92yE Stockholm: https://youtu.be/jUeo-BJ4WjI Flamsbana Railway from Flam to Myrdal: https://youtu.be/fJRTT2OE0Hg Bergen to Flam by Train, Bus & Boat: https://youtu.be/iNzn6c1x7JY Bergen: https://youtu.be/gkx1WQU-AZU Ponant Le Bellot Cruise Experience: https://youtu.be/kI93RZC4P_k Norwegian Cruise: https://youtu.be/Q0cEDFZo_m8 Oslo: https://youtu.be/_0GUWomILjo Copenhagen to Oslo Overnight Ferry: https://youtu.be/yVSIaNrj2AI Malmo, Sweden: https://youtu.be/ebgBHybtGjA Copenhagen: https://youtu.be/1is7PDVwI8k Please subscribe and turn on notifications to follow more of this Scandinavian and Baltic journey, including Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. 0:00 Intro 0:42 Ship Layout 3:11 Stateroom Layout 5:32 Life on Board 6:49 Embarkation/Disembarkation 7:28 Outro
