PONANT has announced a new voyage to Baja California, co-developed with local communities, which will depart in winter 2027.
The 11-day journey, three years in the making, will cruise aboard Le Bellot, inviting guests to experience one of the world’s last true wildernesses.
The ‘Exploration in the Heart of Baja California’ cruise will see guests encounter grey whales, swim with sea lions, and explore remote canyons, all under the guidance of expert naturalists and local conservation stewards.
Wildlife watching will be a highlight, while landings with the naturalist team will provide access to places untouched by human presence.
Snorkelling, scuba diving, and hiking through canyons will all be on the agenda for more adventurous guests.
Visits to small Mexican towns such as Loreto will also offer opportunities to immerse oneself in the local culture.
The cruise will round trip from Cabo San Lucas, with three departures, on 31 Jan 2027, 20 Feb 2027, and 02 Mar 2027, priced at $10,950 per person.
“We have a huge responsibility to share this exceptional environment, to pass it on to future generations, and to show that we are worthy of the trust placed in us by the people who live there,” Director of R&D Expedition Experience Jose Sarica (pictured) said.
“What I experienced there compares to no other experience: it’s the powerful feeling of being truly alive, connected to nature, and that’s what our guests will discover,” he added. MS
