Knell CEO and Co-founder of PONANT CEO of NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC PARTNERS 3 NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC | PONANT SET SAIL WITH PONANT AND NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC From 2019, PONANT and NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC are launching a unique partnership to off er people who love travel, discovery and nature the opportunity to embark on new expedition cruises to some of the most secret and best-preserved destinations on Planet Earth. A PARTNERSHIP FORGED AROUND COMMON VALUES We are building this collaboration from our shared values: the spirit of adventure, a passion for exploring, a thirst for discovery and care for our planet. PONANT, the leader in polar expeditions for almost 20 years, boasts a state-of-the-art modern fleet of expedition ships. Designed to sail distant seas in comfort and safety, our boats' small size and manoeuvrability allows us to reach the most remote lands. At the same time our fl eet is equipped with leading edge navigation and stability technology, alongside the most up-to-date environmental protections, which are essential when crossing through fragile areas, observing unique and often delicate ecosystems. For over 130 years, the NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC SOCIETY has funded groundbreaking scientists and explorers, sharing our fi ndings with the world. We sponsored Hiram Bingham as he brought back stories of Machu Picchu; we documented Robert Ballard’s quest to fi nd The Titanic and supported Jane Goodall’s lifelong study of chimpanzees. Today, the Society awards more than 575 grants a year to scientists, educators, innovators and storytellers around the world. Simply by taking a trip with PONANT and NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC, you are supporting these vital initiatives. * Onboard each cruise, a NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC expert specialising in topics ranging from anthropology, to history, to marine biology, will enrich the expedition with fascinating presentations and informal discussions. A NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC photographer is also onboard, on hand to advise and teach you techniques along the way, sharing their skills while the subject of your photograph is right there in front of you. *National Geographic Society receives funds from National Geographic Partners LLC, funded in part by your purchase.

  • Le Commandant-Charcot, the World's First Luxury Polar Exploration Vessel
    THE ULTIMATE EXPLORER Discover the world’s first luxury polar exploration vessel “From where does this strange, powerful and enduring attraction to the polar regions come, such that after returning one forgets the mental and physical fatigue resulting from the expedition and dreams only of returning? From where do these deserted, terrifying lands attain their extraordinary charm? Is it the pleasure of the unknown? The thrill of the struggle and the effort required to reach them and to survive in them? The arrogance of attempting to do something that others do not? The joy of being far away from small-mindedness and meanness? All of these play their role, as does something more. I now consider that these regions leave a kind of reverent mark on a person. Any man who reaches this place feels his spirit soar.” Jean-Baptiste Charcot, the gentleman of the poles 2 l Croisières d’expédition polaire Be the first aboard Le Commandant-Charcot, the world's first luxury polar exploration vessel.

    A MUSICAL ODYSSEY in the MEDITERRANEAN Greece, Sicily & Italy With Artistic Director MICHAEL PARLOFF Aboard the Deluxe Le Bougainville September 18–27, 2019 Athens, Greece A MUSICAL ODYSSEY in the MEDITERRANEAN Greece, Sicily & Italy With Artistic Director MICHAEL PARLOFF Dear Traveler, Aboard the Deluxe Le Bougainville Your host for this exquisite musical odyssey is MICHAEL PARLOFF, who will lead a series of private recitals by world-class musicians September 18–27, 2019 as you cruise the loveliest destinations from Athens to Rome. In the space of one week, this Musical Odyssey in the Mediterranean takes in the entire span of Greco-Roman antiquity, and during that week, musicians of the highest international caliber will perform aboard Le Bougainville, our deluxe floating concert hall. The artists featured on the opposite page were each personally invited by Mr. Parloff, who chose them not just for their superb talent, but also for their affable personalities. Exclusively for this voyage, Mr. Parloff has designed four concerts for these musicans to perform, with themes relating to the countries and ports-of-call you will visit, including a concert inspired by Greek myths to correspond with the day in Sifnos; virtuoso showpieces by various Italian composers; and a selection of Sicilianos by composers ranging from the 18th- to the 20th-century which will be performed ashore at Taormina’s medieval Cathedral—an event that promises to be the highlight of the trip! Mr. Parloff himself is a remarkable asset to have as Artistic Director aboard this special musical journey. Principal Flutist of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra from 1977 until his retirement in 2008, he has been heard regularly as recitalist, chamber musician and concerto soloist throughout North America, Europe, and Japan.

  • Final Report MO-2017-201: Passenger Vessel L'austral Contact with Rock
    Final report MO-2017-201: Passenger vessel L’Austral contact with rock Snares Islands, 9 January 2017 The Transport Accident Investigation Commission is an independent Crown entity established to determine the circumstances and causes of accidents and incidents with a view to avoiding similar occurrences in the future. Accordingly it is inappropriate that reports should be used to assign fault or blame or determine liability, since neither the investigation nor the reporting process has been undertaken for that purpose. The Commission may make recommendations to improve transport safety. The cost of implementing any recommendation must always be balanced against its benefits. Such analysis is a matter for the regulator and the industry. These reports may be reprinted in whole or in part without charge, providing acknowledgement is made to the Transport Accident Investigation Commission.

  • Cruise Ship Locations 16 May 2021
    CRUISE SHIP LOCATIONS 16 MAY 2021 Compiled by Mike Pryce, Wellington NZ (Information believed correct at this date. Compiled from various sources and internet AIS, especially www.cruisemapper.com. Excludes ferries and cruise ferries. Many cruise ships have been in “warm” lay-up, when they have periodically moved from their berths or anchorages and gone for short voyages locally to give their engines and equipment “a run”, and including production of freshwater, before returning to lay-up. Ships at anchor periodically need to berth to take onboard fuel, food, provisions and other supplies. Some inter-ship crew transfers at sea are being made, outside port limits. With the resumption of “normal” cruising looking very uncertain in many countries in the near future, more cruise ships are likely to move to “cold” lay-up until the situation becomes clearer, whilst others go into shipyards for overhauls and surveys. Many cruise ships have been in lay-up for over a year, as the initial “pause” has been continually extended due to more Covid-19 outbreaks, and many financial assumptions made on the expectation of an initial two-months lockdown have needed reviewing. This has resulted in many recent sales of older ships, and limited cruising in the Mediterranean and Europe, where these areas are being affected by sporadic outbreaks in Covid-19 infections. The largest concentration of laid-up cruise ships is on the Bahamas Banks (east of Miami and south of Freeport) A large number of cruise ships are anchored off the south coast of England, west of Southampton. Another large group are anchored in the South China Sea, NE of Singapore.

Denn die Polregionen haben noch viel mehr zu bieten. Weit hinter den Polarkreisen auf 66°... in einer Welt aus Eis und Gletschern in hypnotischen Blaunuancen.
