Die Le Ponant, das erste Segelschiff Relais & Châteaux, die schönste Adresse für Reisen auf den Weltmeeren.
Die Karibik … Allein das Wort ruft Bilder von Wellen hervor, die sanft auf lange Sandstrände treffen, an denen sich elegante Palmen im Wind wiegen. Zum ersten Mal nach mehreren Jahren kehrt die Le Ponant zurück zu ihrer ersten großen Liebe, der Karibik, zur großen Freude derjenigen, die gern fernab der ausgetretenen Pfade reisen. Genießen Sie eine 8-tägige unvergessliche Auszeit an Bord der legendären Segelyacht von PONANT.
Der Gesang des Meeres und das Flüstern des Windes sind die einzigen Geräusche, die Sie an Bord der Le Ponant wahrnehmen. Lassen Sie sich von den Wellen, die gegen den Bug des Schiffes schlagen, wiegen, während Sie Fort-de-France an der Küste von Martinique immer weiter hinter sich lassen und die Insel Bequia ansteuern. Die authentischen bunten Häuser der Insel bilden einen hübschen Kontrast zur grünen Vegetation, die Sie bei Ihrem Ausflug an Land entdecken können.
Türkis, Himmelblau, Azurblau, Saphirfarbend … die Nuancen an Blautönen des karibischen Meeres scheinen schier unendlich. Beim Ankern vor Sandy Island können Sie eine außergewöhnliche Lagune entdecken, deren Sandbank wie das Ende der Welt aussieht. Hier werden Träume wahr.
Im stilvollen Ambiente der Le Ponant steht jeder Moment Ihrer Reise im Zeichen der karibischen Sanftheit. Nun ist es an der Zeit Kurs auf St. Vincent und die Grenadinen zu nehmen. Getragen vom Wind, der an der Takelage des Schiffes zerrt, erreichen Sie diese Inselgruppe von atemberaubender Schönheit. Hier können Sie auf jeder Insel das süße kreolische Leben genießen, die Schönheit der Sonnenuntergänge bewundern und das reiche Unterwasserleben entdecken.
Schon bald zeichnet sich die zerklüftete Silhouette von St. Lucia am Horizont ab. Beim letzten Zwischenstopp Ihrer Reise durch die Karibik erleben Sie einzigartige Momente, die Ihnen nur die Le Ponant bieten kann. Besinnen Sie sich wieder auf das Wesentliche, bewundern Sie die Schönheit der Erde und lassen Sie sich vom Wind treiben, der alle Sorgen verweht.

PONANT Aktivitäten
Tauchen & erster Tauchgang
Begleitung der Tauchgänge
Ihre Tauchgänge werden von unseren PONANT Tauchguides begleitet. Diese werden sich um Ihre Sicherheit und einen reibungslosen Ablauf kümmern. An einigen Tauchplätzen, wie in Naturschutzgebieten oder wenn die örtlichen Vorschriften dies vorschreiben, wird zusätzlich ein lokaler Führer das Tauchen begleiten.
Erforderliches Tauchlevel während dieser Kreuzfahrt
Das erforderliche Niveau für Gäste, die während dieser Kreuzfahrt tauchen möchten, ist PADI Open Water Diver, CMAS 1 Stern oder ein gleichwertiges Zertifikat. Die Zertifizierung, das Tauchlogbuch und ein aktuelles ärztliches Attest (weniger als 12 Monate alt) müssen zu Beginn der Kreuzfahrt den PONANT Tauchguides vorgelegt werden.
Ablauf der Tauchgänge (zertifizierte Taucher)
Der Tauchguide behält sich das Recht vor, die Fähigkeit der Taucher auf maximale Sicherheit zu überprüfen. Da wir an abgelegenen Orten tauchen, werden die Tauchgänge ohne Dekompressionsstopp durchgeführt. Ein Sicherheitsstopp von 3 Minuten bei 5 Metern ist obligatorisch. Die Tiefe, die erreicht werden kann, hängt von der Zertifizierung der Taucher ab:
- Für diejenigen mit PADI Advanced Open Water Diver-Zertifikat (oder einem gleichwertigen Zertifikat) beträgt die maximale Tiefe bis zu 20 Meter.
- Wenn zwei CMAS sterne oder PADI Advanced Open Water Divers (oder gleichwertiges Zertifikat) unabhängig tauchen möchten, müssen sie zuerst eine Einweisung erhalten. Sie müssen Tauchcomputer haben und dürfen maximal eine Tiefe von 20 Metern erreichen.
Ablauf der Schnuppertauchgänge (Tauchanfänger)
Vor dem ersten Tauchgang zeigt Ihnen der Tauchguide die Ausrüstung und erklärt, wie unter Wasser mit Handzeichen kommuniziert wird und wie das Atmen durch einen Atemregler funktioniert. Sobald Sie im Wasser sind und mit der entsprechenden Ausrüstung ausgestattet sind, lernen Sie, wie Sie einige Minuten lang durch Ihren Atemregler an der Oberfläche atmen. Wenn der Tauchguide das Gefühlt hat, dass Sie bereit sind, taucht er mit Ihnen etwa 20 Minuten lang bis zu einer Tiefe von maximal 6 Metern.
Dauer der Tauchgänge
Die Tauchgänge dauern 2 bis 3 Stunden, einschließlich der Fahrt zum Tauchplatz und des Tauchens. Diese Dauer kann je nach Standort, Taucherniveau, Wetterbedingungen und Teilnehmerzahl variieren. Für erfahrene Taucher variiert die Tauchdauer je nach Ort, Erfahrung und Verbrauch des Tauchers zwischen 35 und 60 Minuten.
Bereitgestellte Ausrüstung
- Neoprenanzug
- Stabilisierungsjacket
- Oktopus-Atemregler und Manometer
- Tauchcomputer (für Taucher, die die Verwendung beherrschen)
- Flossen
Tauchermaske und Schnorchel: Aufgrund von Covid-19 und der damit einhergehenden aktuellen Gesundheitssituation empfehlen wir Ihnen aus hygienischen Gründen, eine eigene Tauchermaske und Schnorchel mit an Bord zu bringen. In Ausnahmefällen können diese gemäß den Hygienebedingungen* ausgeliehen werden.
Gäste können an Tauchaktivitäten teilnehmen, sofern bestimmte Bedingungen eingehalten werden, die im Einklang mit den am Tag des Tauchgangs geltenden gesundheitlichen, wissenschaftlichen und medizinischen Maßnahmen festgelegt wurden.

Bequia and Old Hegg Turtle Sanctuary
From the pier, meet your guide and board your local van for a 30-minute picturesque drive through the charming town of Port Elizabeth, where you will see brilliant tropical colours and other noteworthy spots on your route to the Bequia Heritage Museum.
Arriving at the museum, you will step into the newly completed Annexe, where you will see and learn about the fine display of Amerindian pottery and artefacts, almost all of which were found on Bequia, as well as a selection of items dating from the European period of Bequia's settlement.

Then, you will proceed north of Bequia Island to the Old Hegg Turtle Sanctuary, where you will discover a fascinating marine conservation project. There, you will learn how the Caribbean Sea turtles and their eggs are saved from poachers, by collecting the hatchlings and allowing them to grow in the sanctuary until they are 3 years old. Releasing them into the ocean after this period of maturity gives them a better chance of survival. Many of the turtles seen during a dive or a snorkelling session in the Grenadines, began their life here.
At the end of the visit, a refreshment will be offered, before returning to the pier.
