Ponant, a leader in luxury expedition cruises, offers a truly distinctive experience for travelers seeking adventure and immersion in the natural world. One of the most remarkable features of Ponant’s Explorer ships is the Blue Eye Lounge, a multi-sensory underwater space designed to simulate the experience of being inside a whale. This innovative lounge allows guests to witness marine life firsthand through large glass portholes shaped like a whale's eyes, while also listening to the ocean's sounds via hydrophones.
The Blue Eye Lounge is a masterpiece of biomimetic design, created by renowned architect Jacques Rougerie. Inspired by the natural world, it mimics the sensation of being within a whale, providing an otherworldly ambiance through low blue lighting and flowing, wave-like architectural elements. Guests descend to a space below the waterline, where they can experience the ocean's sights and sounds in a unique way.
Key features of the Blue Eye Lounge include:
Ponant’s Explorer ships are designed for luxury and adventure, offering itineraries that span the globe. From polar expeditions to explorations in tropical waters, Ponant’s fleet provides an intimate cruising experience with a maximum of 198 guests per ship. This boutique approach ensures personalized service and flexibility, allowing for spontaneous stops to observe wildlife or explore hidden coves.
Ponant's commitment to innovation is evident not only in its cutting-edge ship design but also in its culinary offerings, which are curated in collaboration with Alain Ducasse Conseil, and its partnerships with esteemed institutions like Christie’s for art-themed voyages.
