A Journey Through the Heart of the Mediterranean

The Adriatic and Ionian coast is one of the most spectacular sailing routes in the world — ancient history, extraordinary natural beauty, world-class food and wine, and the ease of waking up in a new destination each morning without unpacking a suitcase. PONANT's Le Bougainville intimate scale means it can reach ports that large ships simply cannot. From Venice to the Dalmatian Coast, through the Bay of Kotor, south to Puglia and Sicily, and finally to Malta — eight nights, eight ports, three countries, arriving in Valletta, the ancient city where Delta married in 2025.

Onboard Ponant Le Bougainville

A Boutique Hotel at Sea

Sailing aboard Le Bougainville feels less like a cruise and more like a private yacht charter. The design is modern and elegant, the atmosphere intimate and unhurried, with a relaxed French touch that runs through everything — from the way the crew greets you to the pastries that appear each morning without being asked for.

At just 150 guests on this voyage, the ship never feels anything other than personal.

Onboard features include:

Every cabin and suite has a private balcony
Swimming pool and sun deck
The Blue Eye — PONANT’s signature underwater lounge, found on no other ship in the world
Gourmet restaurant — The Nautilus
Grill restaurant — Le Nemo
Main lounge, observatory lounge, art gallery, and library
Theatre for evening entertainment, performances, and presentations
Spa in partnership with SOTHYS and Davines — treatments, massages, and hairdressing services
Fitness room, beauty salon, and sauna
Marina platform with complimentary kayaking and snorkelling equipment
24-hour room service
11 dedicated solo cabins — no single supplement applies

Solo cabins are limited and expected to sell quickly.

Why Travel on a Hosted Destination HQ Journey?

This is our third Cruising with the Stars voyage — and each one has been shaped by the same belief: that the journey itself should be as extraordinary as the destination.

At the heart of every departure is something you simply cannot find anywhere else: exclusive, intimate entertainment by some of Australia’s most beloved music legends, performed for a small group of guests in settings that no concert venue could ever replicate.

Travelling with Destination HQ means having an expert hosts with you throughout — someone who knows the ship, knows the programme, and is there to ensure every detail unfolds exactly as it should.

While this voyage is the centrepiece of your trip, we are here to take care of everything around it. We love working with our clients to design a complete itinerary — one that flows beautifully from beginning to end, customised entirely around you.

From international flights and pre-cruise nights in Venice to private touring and onward travel through Europe, we can bring all the pieces together for you.

Having everything arranged in one place means your dates align, your arrangements connect, and your time is spent enjoying the journey rather than managing it.

Your exclusive entertainment
