About this ship

Le Champlain entered service in 2018 as part of Ponant's expedition-focused fleet. The ship carries just 180 passengers, positioning it for intimate exploration voyages to remote destinations. Built collaboratively with the hull constructed at VARD Tulcea in Romania and outfitting completed at VARD Søviknes in Norway, Le Champlain combines European engineering expertise.

This smaller scale allows access to ports and waterways unavailable to larger cruise ships while maintaining comfortable accommodations for discerning travelers seeking expedition-style cruising.
