The “Blue Eye” underwater window
All six Ponant Explorers will be fitted with a world first: the “Blue Eye”. This multi-sensorial underwater lounge will allow passengers to experience the underwater world via two portholes in the form of a cetaceous eye. While gazing out to the sea bed, non-intrusive underwater lighting and hydrophones integrated into the keel will retransmit the natural symphony of the deep water.
Remember your French explorers?
The new ships will be named to pay tribute to great French explorers.
