Le Bellot – A Luxurious Expedition Experience in the World’s Most Remote Destinations
Le Bellot is an elegant, ultra-modern expedition yacht, designed to offer an intimate and immersive cruising experience in some of the most extraordinary destinations on Earth. Combining the spirit of adventure with refined French luxury, she provides an unparalleled way to explore the polar regions, tropical archipelagos, and beyond.
Part of Ponant’s Explorer-Class fleet, Le Bellot carries just 184 travellers, ensuring a personalised experience with exceptional service and a high crew-to-guest ratio. This small-ship size allows for access to off-the-beaten-path destinations, from the icy wilderness of Antarctica to the remote islands of the South Pacific. Every voyage is enriched by an onboard expedition team, made up of expert naturalists, historians, and marine biologists who bring each region to life.
With her sleek design, advanced technology, and a commitment to responsible travel, Le Bellot is not just a ship but a gateway to extraordinary, eco-conscious adventure.

Expedition Experience & Activities
During The Day
Each day is filled with opportunities for active exploration and discovery. Glide past glaciers in a kayak, step onto untouched tropical islands, or take a Zodiac cruise to observe wildlife up close. Le Bellot’s fleet of expedition boats allows guests to reach secluded locations that larger ships cannot access.
A highlight of Ponant’s Explorer-Class vessels is The Blue Eye, an underwater lounge that allows travellers to witness marine life through large observation windows while listening to the natural symphony of the ocean through hydrophones.
When Night Falls
Evenings aboard Le Bellot are sophisticated yet relaxed, offering a blend of enrichment and entertainment. Enjoy live music in the Main Lounge, sip champagne under the stars on the Panoramic Deck, or indulge in a private in-suite dining experience. There are no large-scale performances or casinos—just the elegance of refined travel, where nature and culture take centre stage.
