Opera in the Eastern Mediterranean This year, we journey beyond the Mediterranean, exploring the history and cultures of two ancient worlds, on Aboard Le Bougainville ■ November 13-29, 2019 two very special cruises—one along the southern shores of Japan, from Maizuru to Osaka in the spring; the other tracing the footsteps of ancient history through Greece, Turkey, Egypt, and Jordan in November. Both voyages feature intimate musical programs performed exclusively for our guests, paired with excursions to iconic destinations ashore. Piano & Lieder in Japan will examine the rich array of Eastern tradition while immersing our travelers in the sublime music of Shubert and Schumann; while on Opera in the Eastern Mediterranean, we join the renowned bass-bartione José van Dam on the brand new small ship Le Bougainville, and enjoy one of our opera recitals in front of the ancient library at Ephesus. Friends of the Metropolitan Opera Guild will comprise a small and congenial group aboard these cruises— all of our shore arrangements are private, and we will enjoy our own seating in the ship’s dining room. The remaining travelers onboard will include both international opera enthusiasts and members from other leading cultural institutions. The quality and variety of sites to be visited along these historic shores make each of these itineraries truly one-of-a-kind.

The British Isles, Belgium, and Norway in springtime are lovely, verdant places, and this voyage is carefully designed to showcase the very best they have to offer. As we sail from London into the North Sea, we pause along the way to explore the remarkable gardens of both shores. Our first special engagements occur before we even step foot onboard ship. Pre- embarkation, spend the day at Kew Gardens, London’s largest UNESCO World Heritage site with the most diverse collection of living plants in the world. Before transferring to Le Boréal, your five-star vessel that hosts no more than 264 guests, we’ll also visit Chelsea Physic Garden, tucked away in an almost secret location beside the Thames and the oldest botanic garden in London. In other ports, excursions with a focus on gardens, art, and history will be available. From Ostend, you may travel to Bruges or Kesteel van Oostkerke to explore the garden designed by Mien Ruys. Norway’s Stavanger is home to the exotic gardens of Flor og Fjære as well as a fascinating maritime history.

  • 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. Aboard this exceptional cruise ship ice-breaker flying the French flag, enjoy a unique sailing experience in the Arctic or Antarctic.

Le Commandant-Charcot l 3 4 l Polar exploration cruises Le Commandant-Charcot, the first hybrid electric icebreaker By naming the latest jewel in its fleet after him, PONANT wanted to pay tribute to Jean-Baptiste Charcot, an emblematic figure of the first French polar expeditions. In the image of this “gentleman of the poles”, this revolutionary icebreaker will push the boundaries of sailing in the Arctic and Antarctic and write new pages in the history of cruise travel.

    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.

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.

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. Der Umriss eines Pelzes, der plötzlich in einem Schneesturm auftaucht, ein Hundeschlitten, von meisterhafter Hand geführt. Aufgeschreckt von einem neugierigen Eisbären. Das unbeschreibliche Gefühl, mit den Füßen auf dem geographischen Nordpol zu stehen. Das einmalige Erlebnis inmitten einer Kolonie aus tausenden von Kaiserpinguinen. Das Herzklopfen angesichts dieser unberührten Weiten, die noch weniger Menschen betreten haben als den Mond, in die bisher nur einzelne Forscher vorgedrungen sind. Die Le Commandant-Charcot lässt all diese scheinbar unerreichbaren Träume wahr werden. Erstmals können Sie das ultimative Abenteuer erleben. Sie dringen in die entlegensten Regionen der Arktis und der Antarktis vor, in die isoliertesten Gebiete der Welt, und befahren beispiellose Routen. Zum ersten Mal wagen wir uns gemeinsam in dieses Paradies aus Eis vor, dank einmaligen, brandneuen Aktivitäten, die Ihnen auf unseren Expeditionskreuzfahrten angeboten werden. Hundeschlitten, eine unvergessliche Fahrt mit dem Heißluftballon, Tauchen im eisigen Wasser der Polarregionen … Noch nie waren die Ausflüge so außergewöhnlich und so nah an der Natur, noch nie haben sie es ermöglicht, diese endlosen Weiten aus derart unerwarteten Blickwinkeln zu entdecken.
