“THIS is a feel for what you’ll
get, it’s a sexy French feel, that
ain’t going to go away”, Sarina
Bratton, chairman-Australasia,
Compagnie du Ponant, told trade
aboard luxury yacht Le Soleal in
Sydney for the first time on Sat.
Bratton also assured trade
of Ponant’s commitment to
continuing with fleet expansion.
“We are finding we’ve got so
much demand for our product
that we have to expand and yet
there are more destinations for
us to go to,” Bratton added.
Whilst no exact details were
provided on new ship builds,
Bratton alluded to expansion
occurring from 2018 and beyond
and suggested that the style of Le
Soleal will be the basis for future
yacht developments.
Le Soleal, launched in Jun
2013, has an ice rated hull and is
regularly seen in both the Arctic
and Antarctic.
The vessel represents the latest
in nautical design, a step forward
from the traditional brass and
glass of older ships.
At just 142m long she boasts
stylish interiors created by French
designer Jean-Philippe Nuel.
