LAST CHANCE

Ponant - Last Chance for Ross Sea Cruise
from New Zealand!

22 January  - 13 February 2023
Hi <<First Name>>,
 
I hope you have had a wonderful Christmas and start to 2022.
 
This Ponant Cruise from Dunedin to Hobart has now SOLD OUT in all cabin categories, however the great news is that The Private Travel Company are holding a small number of cabins on this sailing. This is a wonderful, close to home expedition with no long-haul international travel required. Just a short hop home from Hobart at the end of your adventure! You can extend your stay in Tasmania if you wish.
 
COVID – if this cruise is unable to operate due to border restrictions it is fully refundableIf you are interested in this cruise, I will supply details of the full Covid policy

The cruise line is Ponant a French specialist small ship exploration company; the ship Le Soleal is one of their four Expedition Sisterships. These are small ships offering adventure in a luxury setting. Attentive service provided by an excellent ratio of staff to guests, experienced and expert expedition guides, room service, French cuisine, and wines, with an open bar. Toast your first iceberg on deck or from your private balcony with French Champagne!
 
The smaller number of guests allows more time ashore. In Antarctica you can only have one hundred people onshore at any one time to ensure that the high standards of environmental protection can be maintained. Larger ships do mean less time on land! While some guests are ashore, others will explore by zodiac or attend lectures or simply relax and take in the spectacular surroundings from the comfort of the ship.

To learn about Le Soleal, your expedition home please visit this site for general information and images of the ship facilities and Deck Plans.

We have secured space in Deluxe Staterooms and the Prestige Staterooms on Deck 4.These cabins are surplus to a groups requirement and once booked we will be unable to secure additional cabins. Please let me know as soon as you can which cabin you are interested in and I will secure this in your name for two business days while you make your final decision.
 
Prices are per person, based on two people sharing a Twin or Double Cabin.
We have one Single available at approximately 30% surcharge.
 
Prices are in Australian Dollars and will be converted to New Zealand Dollars at the exchange rate applicable at time of payment.
Deluxe Stateroom. AUD $36,300 per person.
Prestige Stateroom. AUD $40,350 per person.  
 
Both cabins are the same size at 18sqm plus balcony. They offer the same amenity, comfort, and the same inclusions. The difference is that the Deluxe Cabins have a single hinged swing door and a picture window opening to your balcony. The Prestige Cabins have floor to ceiling windows with a sliding ‘ranch-slider’ door. This does allow for better viewing of the great outdoors and gives the cabin a lighter and more spacious feel.
