PONANT global CEO Hervé Gastinel has announced a significant new role for Sarina Bratton AM as the company’s Senior Strategic Advisor and Honorary Chairwoman Asia Pacific, formerly Executive Chair of the region.

Imagine cruising the Kimberleys in a three-masted luxury yacht with only 32 other guests. It’ll be possible from April next year when PONANT debuts its iconic sailing yacht Le Ponant that’ll be based in the Asia Pacific region for six months of the year.

PONANT has released a new ‘Fly and Cruise’ package for its upcoming 2022 Chairman’s Cruise of French Polynesia with Paul Gauguin Cruises, aboard Le Paul Gauguin.

Australia’s “First Lady” of cruising, Sarina Bratton, will be the dignitary joining Ponant’s “Chairman’s Cruise” to Papua New Guinea in the first half of 2020.
