Sailed on the Champlain from Martinique just before Corona put the world in lockdown. Great way to go where none of the big ships go, and that marina is amazing if you're out in a part of the world that makes good use of that feature. One thing we didn't like however, is that everything is regimented the way Ponant dictates things, leaving guests with little or no freedom when to have dinner..
We noticed a lack of flexibility as well in some instances, but once we got the flow of things we didn't mind it too much. And that marina is pretty remarkable! How did you like the blue eye?
@@HarrTravel One thing you have to admire Ponant for, is that they clearly have more guts than most other companies. They were the first to find solutions to get people cruising again, don't play games and just provide solutions to reward those who are willing to get back on a ship. They already have adapted itineraries in place so customers willing to sail this summer get certainty, where most of their competitors are hiding behind reasons to do nothing.
Most reviews are either a sightseeing adventure or a lecture. Harr Travel has found the sweet spot between them and makes every tour enjoyable and informative. Excellent work! I'm a new subscriber as of this video, and now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to explore the rest of your videos!
Do you guys have room tours of any of the ponant ships? I would love to see those. And I always enjoy watching your tours of the ships. Thanks to you guys I really want to go on a cruise.
Yet another lovely ship tour! These are a great respite from being locked in all day. However, didn't you already do this ship a while ago? I seem to remember seeing this episode, as I immediately recognized the lobby.
@@HarrTravel I do a lot of sailing, and I'm a big lover of the history ocean liners, and I've never seen anything like that on any vessel. That is truly next level!
Thank you so much for the full review of the ship, it was very informative! We are spending New Year's, sailing from Cozumel on this ship in a couple of weeks. Because we have never sailed in Ponant, I have a couple of questions regarding meal times. Is there a place to have a late breakfast, after 10AM? even if it's only fruit and pastries? The same for lunch, is it possible to order something at 3PM and not order it from room service? Thanks for all the videos!
Really do find your info to be excellent. Especially for pointing out accessibility info. It makes travel seem more doable than one would think. Question when started to walk out further on the deck after leaving the interior bridge there was something mounted up. Was that gyro scope/ compass?
We made some edits to include more of the experience, and made some audio changes. The old one had a subtle hum at 18k and although most couldn't hear it Taylor is a perfectionist and decided to reedit the entire video.
That depends, are you looking for the exotic destinations or the high quality service? The Celebrity Flora, which was specially designed for the Galapagos is pretty remarkable!
I'm so glad for these videos because I'm afraid of heights and I had a bad experience on the Amtrak train at the time the only tickets we could get was coach but we had to sit in the back and on our train the back was coach seating and it swayed so much I didn't realize the Amtrak trains went that fast so it would take alot of convincing to get me on a cruise ship I would want to but I just have that nagging feeling I would get sea sick I would probably be the person who stays in the room all day and night and only comes out when the ship is not moving I don't know maybe I'm thinking about it the wrong way and maybe I would like it, if anyone roads this have u ever gotten sea sick before?
@@HarrTravel really I didn't know that well I must say and I'm probably wrong but that ship definitely look like the smallest ship I've seen it wasn't to high because that's what I would be worried about is being very high because I'm afraid of heights
I believe one of the worst things for sea sickness is being in your cabin. Lack of coordination of inner ears detecting motion and eyes not seeing motion because you are in cabin can amplify sea sickness. Plus as another reply indicated plenty of ways to fight the quezzies now. Confirmation/denial of eye ear coordination from anyone with better knowledge than me, or medical background?
It probably would be hundreds of millions of dollars if you were to try and purchase the ship. But if you were to sail on one of their cruises that would depend on the time of year, destination, duration, room category, and occupancy. But thats why we are here to check on things like that for you.
You guys easily have the best ship tours on CZcams!
Thank you! We love making them and really LOVE that you enjoy them!
I'm addicted to them now ):
@@HarrTravel hello bonjour
The Blue Eye has to be the coolest thing ever! Also the “music” y’all put with it made it much more relaxing and suspenseful!
I was so excited to see the Blue Eye and it delivered. Really extraordinary!!!
I found it horrifying. Don’t think i’ll be taking any cruises anytime soon😅
Dang! I was still asleep when this premiered. That’s what you get for falling asleep at 3
Sleep schedules are a little off these days...nationwide :)
At least I’m not alone
I'm normally a much bigger fan of the huge ships, but I think this one just won me over for the little ships 😍
It is a very different experience for sure!
I saw ship plaques on my first and last cruise aboard Sapphire Princess and never knew the story behind all the plaques. Great piece of info.

Thank you so much for the kind words. Enjoy your discovery!
That underwater area is so cool! I would try to go on one of these ships just to experience that.
It was really something awesome!!!
Looks like it would be a great experience!
A wonderful way to explore many out of the way places!!
Do you guys have room tours of any of the ponant ships? I would love to see those. And I always enjoy watching your tours of the ships. Thanks to you guys I really want to go on a cruise.
We have all room categories aboard the Le Champlain. Check it out on our channel.
I think the low ceilings would bother me, but looks nice otherwise

Thanks for watching. We made a few updates on this one :)
That blue room is amazing!
Definitely one of the more unique features we have ever seen.

Vatican with a blue snake eye 😟88 rooms=88th level of the 911movie 88 in strongs concordance means death⏳💥🔥🤖🌊🧟♂️🗽☢️🦠🔓👳✝️
This looks incredible. Loved the sauna with a view! I also heard the food is delicious.
This ship is beautiful. I’m definitely putting this on my bucket list.
I would REALLY appreciate if you would pronounce the name of the ship correctly. Is that possible?
Negative much?
Thank you so much for the full review of the ship, it was very informative!

Hey.. I hope u liked our ship. And if I'm not mistaken, you guys stayed in the suite 529 right?
Thanks! We LOVED it and that was out suite :)
It’s a very nice ship! But I would probably prefer larger ships! I like the food options and the entertainment on that ship, seems next level!
Great video. Thank u
this video should have 10 million views
Hopefully soon!! :)
C'est un avantage alors de pouvoir parler français? Magnifique navire!
Can you do an engine room tour of this ship? Thanks! New subscriber here 🎉
luxurious !
Absolutely!
Campeche mention!!
Way cool ship! @undwallace wants one...🌍🌎🌏😁👑
It is pretty awesome for sure!
You did a great tour very nice little cruise ship.... You look like you almost have to duck to get through some of the door ways.....
Thank you so much, Danny certainly is tall.
Would love to see a stateroom on this ship.
Check them all out here! Ponant Cruises: czcams.com/play/PLxVfkZbDxlhSbS7nuB2PufGP-P2pHfkse.html
Iceland - Tropical experience!
Very!!
why no tour of any of the rooms???
This looks amazing!! Thanks for such amazing tours. Do you guys have one of L'austral?
Nice ship...no stateroom tour?
They are all on the channel!

Fabulous!
Can the ship travel the panama canal? Is it possible to travel the canals between New York and Monteal? Do you serve brandy selections withe wines?
what a generous tour! can you work with my travel agent? split the Commision?
So I take it this ship can go anywhere in the world?
Isn't this a reupload video?

@@HarrTravel makes sense.
i was wondering the same thing and was really confused i'm like.. i watch basically all of these vids this is WAY too familiar lol
Fantastic job
Can be chartered this yacht ? And how much ?
For For the Asia pacific BALI , australia, Vanuatu, Fiji ,Tonga , Samoa , Nouméa , WallismoFutina
If it is requested early enough it can be chartered.
Excelent
How many guests does this ship normally carry?
180 at full capacity.
Does room service offer breakfast in the morning?
How much would a ship like this cost ?
Love the ship and room tours my man. What are other cruise lines like this?
That depends, are you looking for the exotic destinations or the high quality service? The Celebrity Flora, which was specially designed for the Galapagos is pretty remarkable!

There are many ways to combat sea sickness.
@@HarrTravel really I didn't know that well I must say and I'm probably wrong but that ship definitely look like the smallest ship I've seen it wasn't to high because that's what I would be worried about is being very high because I'm afraid of heights
Life is short. Go on your cruise. Find the motion sickness Dramamine or patches.
I believe one of the worst things for sea sickness is being in your cabin. Lack of coordination of inner ears detecting motion and eyes not seeing motion because you are in cabin can amplify sea sickness. Plus as another reply indicated plenty of ways to fight the quezzies now. Confirmation/denial of eye ear coordination from anyone with better knowledge than me, or medical background?
Have you a smaller ship?
Looks Like A Yacht
how much do you want for it?
Does it board a car? Or a car parking?
You can not store your car on the ship...
Please tell me the ship price??
It probably would be hundreds of millions of dollars if you were to try and purchase the ship. But if you were to sail on one of their cruises that would depend on the time of year, destination, duration, room category, and occupancy. But thats why we are here to check on things like that for you.
You can see fish and all kinds of mammals out at the bottom of the ocean 😂😂
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌟🙌🏼
What other ships has Ponant
which Ponant ship have l been on
Bonjour/ Gate hi
hola!
First!
Thanks for watching!
Nespresso is not coffee service. Period. I can never watch another of your videos until you admit that fact.
I hope they paid you, for that was excellent.
Do'nt move your hands so much, make your body language beautiful.
This did not inspire me at all
That is unfortunate, perhaps some "Royal" Caribbean videos would do better for you.
