Ponant. Bougainville

About

Le Bougainville will be the third in Ponant's six-ship Explorer-class of expedition vessels; it launches in August 2019. It's named for Louis-Antoine de Bougainville, an 18th-century French admiral and explorer, after whom Bougainville Island in Papua New Guinea was named.

Like all the other ships in the class, Le Bougainville will hold 184 passengers in 92 cabins. The ships will have reinforced hulls for when they're in polar regions and an aft marina for sailing in tropical destinations.
