Creator's Key Takeaways

Company Ponant owns and sells what they refer to as luxury small yacht cruises around the world.

Our deluxe cabin 332 has an outside balcony and is located on the third level near reception and main lounge.

Great attention to detail. They even clean the carpet during each voyage, which is unheard of as far as I'm concerned.

All meals, tours, unlimited alcoholic and soft drinks on this particular cruise is included.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Note the cabin location near reception and main lounge for convenience.

YouTube Video Description

http://www.TravelsWithSheila.com Compagnie du Ponant sails small expeditions cruises that take passengers off the beaten path. L'Austral is just one of their fleet and we cruised on this ship around Iceland two years ago! This two-week cruise would visit NE Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu. Marine Steve and I did venture down the Sepik and into the Highlands of Papua New Guinea over 20 years ago; an exciting and scary adventure. Come cruising with us... For sure, there will be new experiences and excellent food. Please don't forget to Subscribe Share and Like. Thanks.
