PONANT heisst Sie herzlich Willkommen zur Entdeckung prachtvoller Landschaften und einzigartiger Städte bei einer außergewöhnlichen 8-tägigen Kreuzfahrt von Italien über Frankreich und nach Spanien an Bord der Le Lyrial.
Ab Civitavecchia (Rom) fahren Sie in Richtung Bonifacio an der Südspitze der Insel der Schönheit. Wie eine von Wind und Brandung gemeißelte Festung enthüllt die Stadt Ihnen ihre historische Altstadt mit langen gepflasterten Gassen.
Die Reise endet in Barcelona. Die „Stadt der Wunder“ ist ein wahres Freilichtmuseum. Sie birgt eine erstaunlich breitgefächerte Palette an Kunstschätzen und Museen, die von Relikten aus der Römerzeit über mittelalterliche Viertel bis hin zu zahlreichen avantgardistischen Elementen aus dem 20. Jahrhundert reicht.
Nach einem ersten Stopp in Palma de Mallorca, dem Juwel des kontrastreichen Mittelmeer-Archipels der Balearen, nehmen Sie Kurs auf Valencia, eine Stadt mit einem bemerkenswerten architektonischen Erbe.
Von Motril aus erkunden Sie die magische Stadt Granada mit der beeindruckenden Festung Alhambra, die zum UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe gehört.
Anschließend nimmt die Le Lyrial Kurs auf Marbella. In der Altstadt des berühmten Badeortes können Sie die ehemaligen Thermen und römische Heiligtümer oder auch die maurische Burg aus dem 10. Jahrhundert bewundern.

PONANT Aktivitäten
Radio Classique
RADIO CLASSIQUE versammelt jeden Tag mehr als eine Million Hörer um ein originelles Versprechen: die schönsten Werke der besten Interpreten des klassischen Repertoires zelebrieren und möglichst vielen Menschen die Emotionen dieser Musik in einem geselligen und friedlichen Ambiente übermitteln. Hierzu stützt sich Radio Classique auf Persönlichkeiten mit einer Leidenschaft für Kommunikation und ein abwechslungsreiches Programm, von Symphoniemusik über Opern bis Filmmusik, interaktive Sendungen und die Live-Übertragung von zahlreichen Konzerten.
Diese Werte machen Radio Classique zu einem echten Radiosender der Lebenskunst und der Eleganz im Alltag, der besonders bei Genießern und anspruchsvollen Hörern bekannt ist. Diese Werte und diese Geisteshaltung harmonieren perfekt mit den musikalischen Kreuzfahrten von PONANT, die in einem persönlichen und privilegierten Rahmen unter der künstlerischen Leitung von Alain Duault ein unvergessliches musikalisches Erlebnis in Begleitung von einzigartigen Künstlern bieten.
The 1st Opera Festival at Sea was a great success so this second one should follow in its footsteps with a top-flight programme, rolled out like a “complete” opera each evening with the most beautiful pieces from La Traviata to Madama Butterfly, Werther and Carmen; plus a recital evening and, her centenary requires it, a tribute to Maria Callas. Bringing these legendary characters to life and the dramatic emotional scenes that befall them, we will hear a soprano who is already a big name, Alexandra Marcellier, Cecilia Bartoli’s young protégée, whose voice and intense stage presence are impressive: she will be Traviata, Butterfly and also Micaela. We will also hear a tenor with an illustrious name, Valentin Thill, who many European stages are fighting over, as much for his luminous timbre as his style: he will be Alfredo, Werther, Pinkerton and Don José. The new French mezzo-soprano star, Héloïse Mas, winner of the Queen Elisabeth Competition in Brussels brings her fiery vocals to two characters whose depth of expressivity suits her to perfection: she will be Charlotte from Werther, and Carmen, a role for which she is famous as one of the great interpreters. Finally, American baritone, Alexander York, from the Paris Opera Academy, will be a new discovery for many: he will introduce his warm bronze voice and sense of theatre to you through three characters as he will be Germont from La Traviata, Sharpless from Madama Butterfly, and Escamillo from Carmen. Here to accompany, support and develop these artists we are very lucky to have Antoine Palloc onboard, the vocal coach much sought-after by all opera singers.

Valencia, Stadt der Künste und der Wissenschaften – Zwei Seelen wohnen in ihrer Brust. Die spanische Stadt ist zugleich modern, avantgardistisch und fast futuristisch und doch auch provinziell, traditionell und nostalgisch. Als drittgrößte Stadt Spaniens hat Valencia das Temperament einer mediterranen Metropole, deren breite Alleen die Altstadt umschließen. Eine Fülle architektonischer Stile bestehen harmonisch nebeneinander. Mit ihrem beeindruckenden Kongresszentrum und der Stadt der Wissenschaften, deren futuristisch anmutende Struktur aus kristallin-blauem Wasser emporsteigt, wendet sie sich jedoch resolut dem 3. Jahrtausend zu.

Ausschiffung 08.10.2023 um 07:00
Die von der Geschichte und den Festen geprägte Stadt Málaga liegt in Andalusien an der Costa del Sol. Zwischen dem Jachthafen und den Stränden eignet sich die Strandpromenade La Farola ideal zum Flanieren. Die etwas zurückgesetzt gelegene Stierkampfarena La Malagueta ist eine der berühmtesten Sehenwürdigkeiten der Stadt. Vom Hügel oberhalb der Altstadt erkennt man das Castillo de Gibralfaro und die Alcazaba, zwei Festungsanlagen, die zwischen den Zypressen und den Strandkiefern hervorragen. Um das Geburtshaus von Pablo Picasso zu besichtigen, begeben Sie sich auf die majestätische Plaza de la Merced. Einige Straßen weiter können Sie im Palacio de Buenavista auch das dem Künstler gewidmete Museum entdecken.
Bonifacio highlights
From the pier, board your wheel train and drive up to the oldest part of Bonifacio. En-route, you will see the Bosco quarter with the St. Francis convent and the cemetery dedicated to the mariners with mausoleums displaying a jumble of architectural styles. On a clear day you might also enjoy a panoramic view on Corsica's closest neighbour: the Italian island of Sardinia. Then pass the church St Dominique, a rare example of Corsican gothic architecture, built in 1270, most probably by the Templars. Following the orientation by mini-tram, continue your visit of Bonifacio on foot through tiny, narrow streets bordered with high houses. Pass the church of St. Marie Majeure, with its mixture of Romanesque and Baroque styles dated from 14th century. The excursion will take you through the heart of the historical part of town to the Two Emperors street where Napoleon Bonaparte and Charles V spent a few days, the Place d'Armes, the Jardin des Vestiges and then to the old market where there is a viewpoint over the 230 ft. cliffs on top of which Bonifacio has been built! Stroll through the Porte de Gênes, former only entrance of the citadel, reach the Chapel St Roch built on the spot where the last plague victim died in 1528. Either you will return to the ship with your guide or either you will continue to explore the town on your own.

The Lavezzi Islands & marine caves
From the pier, board your local boat for a cruise along the coast of Bonifacio to enjoy a panoramic view of the citadel and upper town. The buildings atop the sheer limestone cliffs look as though they are about to topple into the sea.
You will start your exploration with the marine caves which are home to numerous birds including falcons, puffins and swifts. Exiting the harbour via the inlet, you will discover the ramparts which encircle the old city.
After passing the limestone cliffs, you will reach the Sdragonatu marine cave (dragon’s cave). Its roof is pierced by a fissure in the shape of a map of Corsica.
Then, continue to the Lavezzi Islands, a marine wildlife and plants sanctuary which make up one of Corsica’s two marine reserves. These uninhabited barren islands of granite rock lie seven miles south-east of Bonifacio, seemingly adrift on a turquoise-emerald sea, whose colour varies with the sky.
You will enjoy one hour of free time to swim, to relax on the beach or to walk around. This island houses also numerous paths to discover different islets and coves. The island is home to several rare species of wild flowers, including the yellow horned poppy and white sea daffodil, and was declared a nature reserve in 1982.
On the way back, you will pass Cavallo Island and Pointe de Sperone, before cruising along the calanques and cliffs to the Bonifacio marina.
- This tour involves few walking times on uneven and dirty grounds with some steps. We recommend you wear comfortable shoes, wear your swimsuit under your clothes, bring a towel from the ship and protect yourself from the sun. Please note there are no toilets, bars or shady areas on these islands. A minimum of 20 participants is required to operate this excursion.

Valldemossa
From the pier, embark your coach for the 45-minute drive to Valldemossa.
Valldemossa is a typical village nestled in a valley of the northern mountain range. During your drive along the rugged northern coast, you will enjoy the beauty that Mallorca offers, with mountains and coastline scenery, while passing by landscapes of pine forest and groves of almond and olive trees.
On arrival, you will visit the Carthusian Monastery. Built by the King Martin of Aragon in the 14th century, the monastery was renovated in the neoclassical style and it is nowadays famous for having been the residence of the French writer George Sand and the composer Frédéric Chopin. The Carthusian monks occupied the building from when it was founded at the end of the 14th century until its secularisation in 1835.
Your inside visit includes the small neoclassical church, well-known for its lovely frescoes painted by Goya's brother-in-law, intricately carved choir stall and rich tapestries, the 18th century pharmacy established by the monks. After some free time in Valldemossa, you will re-board your coach for the 30-minute drive back to Palma.
Before returning to your ship, you will make a photo stop at "Bellver" a Gothic-style castle built in the 14th century, serving as the residence of the Kings of Majorca.
Finally, you will return to your ship in Palma after a 15-minute drive.
- This excursion involves approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) of walking on cobblestoned streets with some steps at Valldemossa. We recommend you to wear comfortable walking shoes and protect yourself from the sun. Appropriate dress is recommended to visit religious sites (shoulders and knees should be covered).

The park is bordered by a pine forest that extends down to the sea. This beautiful nature reserve, surrounded by rice fields is also home to Spain’s largest lake, a paradise for migratory birds and one of Europe’s most important sites for nesting birds. You will explore these marshes on a traditional boat belonging to local fishermen. At the end of the 45-minute ride, the boat will moor close to a typical restaurant, where you will enjoy a snack and refreshment.
