Le Lapérouse
Le Lapérouse was the first of Ponant’s revolutionary Explorer-class yachts, a vessel that redefined small-ship luxury when she debuted in 2018. Carrying just 184 guests, she offers the perfect balance between adventure and elegance, sailing to some of the world’s most captivating destinations — from the tropical isles of Melanesia to the icy shores of Antarctica.
Combining French sophistication with innovative design, Le Lapérouse features light-filled interiors, cutting-edge technology, and an eco-efficient propulsion system. Whether you’re Zodiac-cruising among glaciers or dining beneath the stars, every voyage aboard Le Lapérouse is an invitation to explore with style and substance.
