Lesley and I had the pleasure of visiting Le Bellot whilst she was moored in central London on Thursday 19th May 2022. Has opened our eyes to small ship cruising! Beautiful interior with only 184 guests and every cabin has a balcony. We've done nearly 30 cruises but only on large mainstream lines. She was alongside HMS Belfast so London really meant London not a 3 hour trip from Southampton. We currently have a few other cruises booked but hoping for a Ponant cruise in 2023/2024. Big thanks to Nabil and Vlad from Ponant who organised everything. We were also joined by the Vice President of Ponant, Herve Bellaiche, which made for a fascinating chat. Pricing for suites on large ships seems to be creeping ever up so a balcony cabin on Ponant would be similar pricing with the advantage of luxury small ship cruising. Can't wait!
