Ponant Has Chosen a Lagoon Catamaran, The Spirit of Ponant
PRESS RELEASE
PONANT, the French luxury exploration cruising company, has chosen the Lagoon SEVENTY 7 catamaran for its new offering of cruises.
To explore the world, sailing aboard a Lagoon catamaran, is to experience living closer to nature, where time stands still. “We are thrilled to collaborate with Lagoon, French reference with whom we share our passion for excellence and innovation. With this new selection of cruises, we offer a personalized, private cruising experience, all while delivering the level of service that has made PONANT renowned,” explains Olivier Narcy, EMEA and Sales and Customer Relations Director for the PONANT Group. Thanks to this collaboration with Lagoon, PONANT asserts once more its commitment to responsible tourism and its attachment to sailing.
The Spirit of Ponant will sail this summer in Corsica, before heading to the Seychelles for the winter of 2024-2025. Reservations can be made by the cabin, for private charter of the catamaran, directly, or via our established B2B partners, as well as through Sailoé, exclusive Lagoon dealer, who will serve as the central agency managing the Spirit of Ponant in Corsica and in the Seychelles on behalf of the PONANT company.

Built in France and under French flag, the Spirit of Ponant is a 24-meter Lagoon maxi- catamaran boasting six cabins. She offers a unique cruising experience. Able to accommodate up to twelve passengers and four crew members, including a Chef, the Spirit of Ponant combines an intimate sailing experience with the refinement and personalized service that characterize PONANT cruises. Thomas Gailly, Director of Lagoon, explains: “Our expertise, high-end service, and the reliability of Lagoon catamarans have been key strengths, which won over the PONANT team.
