Le Boréal

Excursii și itinerarii terestre

Fiecare itinerar a fost creat cu grijă de echipele noastre pentru a vă oferi o experiență completă de excursie. Puteți descoperi comorile ascunse ale regiunilor pe care le vizitați, în acord cu interesele dumneavoastră.

Golfuri ascunse, orașe antice, situri UNESCO de patrimoniu mondial... lumea își dezvăluie bijuteriile ascunse pe măsură ce călătoriți pe traseele urmate de exploratori. În spiritul filozofiei noastre „Accesul la comorile lumii prin mare”, oferim o gamă largă de excursii terestre în timpul tuturor croazierelor noastre (cu excepția expedițiilor). Alegem aceste excursii cu atenție, prin expertiza specialiștilor PONANT, pentru valoarea lor culturală și interesul istoric, iar durata lor poate varia de la câteva ore până la câteva zile. Dacă este necesar să petreceți noaptea pe uscat, ne ocupăm de întreaga organizare a sejurului dumneavoastră, până vă întoarceți la bordul navei. Aceste excursii mai lungi vă permit să descoperiți locurile de neratat ale regiunii vizitate, precum Cuzco în Peru sau Delta Mekongului în Vietnam.

Puteți accesa aceste călătorii prin rezervare anticipată, cu două luni înainte de data plecării.

Your stateroom Officer will be able to take care of your laundry**. The washing and ironing of your clothes will take between 24 and 48 hours. Only ironing** can be delivered on the same day. As dry-cleaning is not possible on the ship, please only give us clothes that can be washed in water.

** These services are not free of charge and are billed directly to your stateroom account.

PONANT ships are non-smoking, even on the stateroom balconies. Smoking is only allowed in the exterior parts of the ship designated for the purpose.

Adaptorii sunt disponibili la bord, aceștia pot fi obținuți de la biroul de recepție al navelor noastre.

Curentul alternativ de 220 volți și 50 hertzi este distribuit prin prize conforme standardelor europene. Alimentarea electrică la bord este de 200 volți AC (standard european) și 110 volți AC (standard nord-american).

Children under one year of age shall not be authorised to embark on the ships.

For children aged between 1 and 8 years old, an authorisation to board the ship must be made in writing to PONANT. Subject to agreement, a liability waiver must be completed and returned to the company to validate the registration.

On classic cruises ("yachting"), children are accepted from the age of one, with a maximum of 5 children between 1 and 6 years old on board.

On "expedition" cruises children are accepted from 6 years old (except cruises aboard Le Commandant Charcot) and must be fully independent during all the outside activities organised and during disembarkation in rubber boats, be sufficiently tall to sit on the inflatable sides of the boats, and old enough to understand, and immediately respond to the orders given by the persons in charge. As a result, children's participation in any activity in an inflatable boat shall be subject to the agreement of the Captain and of the Expedition Head, depending on the sea conditions, and the difficulty of disembarking at each location visited. The ships do not carry Parka’s in children’s sizes. Parents must arrange to bring a suitable Parka for children. In all cases, children and young people under the age of 18 are at all times on board or on land under the full and total responsibility of their parents or carers.

Children aged 4 years or more can be welcomed in the Kid's Club when the service is offered on board

All the ships have a doctor and a nurse available on board, except Le Ponant, on which there is a nurse and a telemedicine service available:

• The schedules of consultation are listed each day in the log book (emergency consultation 24/7).
• The Sisterships, PONANT Explorers and Le Commandant Charcot also have a hospital for any small surgery.
• During the excursions, the passengers are accompanied by a doctor or a nurse.
• There is a fee for consultations on board . The price may vary according to the time and place of the consultation (hospital or staterooms). You must also pay for medications.
• The doctor on board is not authorised to distribute sick leaves and prescriptions. Only accounts and invoices are provided which may be used by the passenger to obtain a refund from his/her health insurance if his/her contract allows.

Medical Consultations

There is a charge for medical consultations undertaken by the doctor or nurse on board. The price can vary according to the time and place of the consultation (hospital or stateroom). Any medication must also be paid for by the passenger. If using medications on a regular basis make sure to bring adequate supplies for the duration of your cruise.

Special Medical Treatment

If you have any special treatment, we ask you to inform the reservation service when you register for the cruise, to note it on the information sheet before departure, then inform the on-board crew at the moment of departure and always keep your medication with you for the duration of the cruise.

Seasickness

Our ships (except Le Ponant) have stabilisers equipped with dynamic fins which adapt to the movements of the ship. This system allows the ship to anticipate and compensate for the pitching and tossing of the sea to achieve greater stability. Passengers suffering from seasickness will see their symptoms alleviated and are pleasantly surprised to not feel uncomfortable during their journey. However it is wise to bring travel motion medication with you for peace of mind.

Accesorii Tehnice

Vă recomandăm să vă echipați cu o mască de schi, ochelari de soare, bețe de drumeție (disponibile spre achiziție în magazin), un rucsac impermeabil, binocluri, un ceas tehnic, o plasă pentru cap împotriva țânțarilor (pentru Arctica) și o husă impermeabilă.

Cod vestimentar

Recomandăm purtarea unor ținute elegante, casual, la discreția dumneavoastră, iar pentru serile de gală, o rochie cocktail pentru doamne și o cămașă cu cravată pentru domni, iar pentru seara ofițerilor, o ținută albă sau alb-negru. Pantalonii scurți/Bermudele nu sunt permise seara în restaurantele gastronomice.

Croazieră de expediție

În cadrul unei croaziere de expediție, asigurați-vă că aduceți haine practice, precum și încălțăminte confortabilă, potrivită pentru deplasările cu Zodiacurile și debarcările pe plaje sau mlaștini. Pentru expedițiile tropicale, nu uitați o pălărie, ochelari de soare și haine cu mâneci și pantaloni lungi. Pentru croazierele polare, vi se va oferi o parka polară pe mărimea dumneavoastră, iar încălțămintea adecvată va fi disponibilă pentru utilizare la țărm.

Sustainable development is enshrined in the company's articles of association and has been at the heart of the PONANT project since its inception. Founded over thirty years ago by committed sailors, the company was born out of a desire to share a passion for the oceans and the treasures of the Earth. This responsibility commits us to a respectful dialogue with the environment and the populations we meet and to investing in many fields related to the preservation and development of the natural and cultural heritage of the polar and oceanic regions.

Clean Ships

We were among the first cruise operators in the world to abandon the use of heavy fuels, and our ships are equipped with electric diesel engines and SCR catalytic converters, which enable a reduction in fuel consumption and emissions. Our polar exploration ship, Le Commandant Charcot, is a hybrid-electric vessel, propelled by liquefied natural gas (LNG). LNG enables a 25% reduction in carbon emissions, an 85% reduction in nitrogen oxide emissions and a 95% reduction in fine particle emissions. Each time we design a new ship, we equip it with the latest available eco-technologies, enabling us to maintain our position as the cruise industry's environmental leader, ahead of international regulations in some areas. A commitment recognised by many independent organisations:

• Our entire fleet is Clean Ship certified by the Bureau Veritas. This certification guarantees that our ships fulfil very precise criteria: emissions levels, waste processing, waste water etc.
• In 2020, PONANT was recognised as “the cruise operator with the greenest fleet in the world in terms of airborne emissions” by the German NGO, NABU.
• PONANT was awarded the Prix des Palmes du Tourisme Durable 2020 (Prize for Sustainable Tourism) in the “Voyage” category for the elimination of heavy fuel oil in favour of LS MGO.
• In 2019, PONANT became the first European cruise company to obtain the North American Green Alliance certificate. This certifies that its members have adopted practices and technologies that are respectful towards the environment.
• PONANT is also a signatory of the Charte Bleue from Armateurs de France, which commits the maritime sector to act to protect the marine environment.

Wastewater

All of the wastewater is treated by means of processes that exclude the use of chemical products. The recycled water is used to clean the exterior of the ship. The water that is discharged into the sea is treated, drinkable water.

Waste

We have optimised our organisation in order to reduce waste at the source. Waste is nonetheless still produced on board. As of 2020, 60% of this is sorted and recycled, with an objective of 85% set for 2023. We ensure the complete traceability of this waste.

Single-use plastics

We have eliminated the use of single-use plastics (straws, cups, food serving trays, laundry bags etc.). A metallic flask is issued to each passenger on expedition cruises and water fountains are available in the common areas of the ships. We are also developing the bottling of our water in glass bottles.

And so that everyone's tastes are catered to, special menus are available on request for guests with specific dietary requirements (low-fat, vegetarian, gluten-free, etc).
