Thank you so much for watching! It really does mean the world to us! Please give this video a THUMBS UP as that's extremely important to us (and it also encourages TH-cam to suggest it with other viewers who might be interested), please SUBSCRIBE and please leave us a comment too - we’d LOVE to hear from you. R&H x
That "London Bridge is Falling Down" tune at the end is very amusing! Such a beautiful ship. Thank you for sharing it with us. :)
Thanks for watching Jamie. Yes I kinda liked that London Bridge music. Leant a kind of macabre edge to the whole thing. 😂
What an absolutely gorgeous ship! I love the colors, decor, and the open areas. I love the window in the stateroom bathroom! I could live there. 😃 Thank you for the very thorough tour.
Thank you so much! We could've definitely lived there too! That bathroom was a DREAM! :D
If I was in the Owner's Suite, I might forget the expedition and stay in my room. Great tour video (like you could do a bad one).
It was incredibly difficult to film this ship tour when all we wanted to do was stay in the suite and chill on that balcony. It's a tough job sometimes lol! :D
I am going on the ship in August. I've been trying to find sample menus. I like that you showed the menu in your video.
Thanks Mike, glad you found it helpful. We very much enjoyed the food on Ponant. Hope you have a great wonderful time with them. 👍
That lounge is unbelievable, so unique and tranquil! If I didn't need some daylight for my mental and physical health, I'd probably live in it. Such an elegant ship, and that suite is perfection. What a view from the bed, and that balcony! The entry-level stateroom is more luxurious than most cruise lines' better balcony rooms, particularly with that spacious shower. Ponant doesn't get many mentions from Travel Advisors here in the US, so this was a very welcome and beautiful overview that I'm unlikely to get from any US-based "vlogger". Lovely as always, thank you!
Thanks Amy. I don't know why Ponant isn't more widely promoted in the US. It should be as the ships are little pockets of luxury with a French twist. They are so lovely and that's not even considering the French cuisine!
Ce bateau est fantastique... Merci pour le video...The french guy from Canada....
Merci Daniel. We LOVE the French and we love this ship. :D
Wow, what a beautifully designed ship. like the cheeky narration, too
Thank you for watching. Most of our narration is a little bit on the cheeky side. Can't help it I'm afraid. ;)
i have been working with Le Bellot when she is in harbor for the past month and i have never thought about how jaw dropping the interior was until this popped up in my recommendations
Thanks for watching Gudni!
I've been enjoying your video reviews of Le Bellot and her sister ship, as we are booked on a Le Bellot Iceland cruise this summer. It's great to get a feel for the ship before we get there.
But one little quibble. Your review of the deck 3 stateroom seems to actually show one from deck 4 or 5. From what I've seen, the balconies on deck 3 don't have the glass below the railing, but are solid. But otherwise the rooms are the same.
This was a stateroom on deck 3 though we can’t remember which one. Maybe check with a travel advisor before booking if you want to make sure you have a fully glass balcony.
Thanks for watching.
Loved the video. Someday I will be able to try Ponant. I'm trying Viking Ocean for the first time in December on a transatlantic Cruise.
Thank you Aimee 😊
Enjoy Viking 🛳 ❤️
Wow - that bar is absolutely remarkable. Whilst I dread to think what you may catch a glimpse of in the Thames as you leave London, it will be absolutely GLORIOUS over in the Caribbean!
Haha! Yes, we were having a bit of a laugh about what horrors would've floated past you in the Thames ranging from the bodies of local hoodlums to the remains of last nights curry (if you know what I mean)! 😂
@@visitwithus I know exactly what you mean but feel like as, as a Glaswegian, I shouldn't comment until I've looked at the Clyde...!! :D
Hi Rich and Helen. Imagine being in that Blue Lounge in Antarctica !! Now that would be amazing. I say that because (Gone Venturing) Viktor worked there for a few seasons and there is an actual hole drilled down below the ice with an observation room attached (At McMurdo Station). You climb down, into said hole and see and hear everything below the ice. You are the best at this travel craft. No matter the ship you are on, it is an adventure and not a chore to be done like housework !!
Aww cheers Jeremy. I can only imagine what the Blue Eye lounge is like in the Antarctic or the Maldives with the underwater lights on and the microphones turned up to 11...
I will say again that I will never see and experience what you show and what you do, but wait I do, thru the both of you. I travel the world, I eat lovely food and indulge in activities I would not be able to do. I again thank you for allowing me to travel with you both. I hope I don't get in the way, please don't leave me behind for your next adventure. Cheers Scotty, Canberra, Australia
Thanks Scotty. We love having you along with us and really value your kind words. ☺
Le giggle. You said le “tea bags.”
Wow. Simply incredible vessel. Excellent videography, narration and background music as usual. Thank you for the tour!
I hope there is signage to not open the windows in the Blue Eye lounge.
Glad you enjoyed it Brad. :D
Wow I am all about the spa experiences onboard ships…but that Blue eye lounge is a wonder, i can see myself in there quite often. Thanks for the review😊🚢
Thank you! The Blue Eye lounge would be incredible in the Caribbean or French Polynesia. I'd be down there all evening!
Words fail me 🤩
It's a pretty little ship for sure Jennifer. :)
Le bellot happy 3 weeks 2020
😍😍😍
Thanks for watching 👍
What a gorgeous ship! Did you just do over night, how is the service?
Yes, we were only on for one night.
We do have a 12 night cruise on Le Dumont D’Urville coming up later this year so please make sure you are subscribed and have hit the notification bell so you’ll know when our Ponant videos are released.
Thanks for watching 👍
Simple understated elegant decor = my type of ship. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. Oh and only 180 guests? = PERFECT IN EVERY WAY like oh now what’s her name? No no it will come to me in a moment 🤣
Great video! We were on board doing the same mini-cruise! I was the one holding up the stick with the 360 camera at 11:11 - sailing under the open Tower Bridge was such an unforgettable experience. I also made a video about this cruise.
I'm now popping over to have a look at your video. Thanks for getting in touch Ken! :D
@@visitwithus thanks. We are doing Antarctica with Ponant the coming Christmas, so your channel is very interesting as you've done Antarctica already. I don't think Ponant offers Polar plunge unfortunately.
Fancy suite.....but no bidet?? Good thing I bring my own.
Well of all the obscure things we sometimes pack, we've not yet ever packed our own bidet. Perhaps it's time we did. 😂
@@visitwithus I designed and made it myself. Works magnificently. Gonna get it patented. Once you try it, you will NEVER be without it.
Is the underwater area for higher tier room guests or is this a public area for all passengers?
No it’s a public area bar for all guests. Think it only opens for a limited time in the evening but anyone can go there. We are sailing in the Caribbean on one of Ponant’s ships in December so watch out for our videos from that trip where we’ll hopefully get some more interesting footage from this bar 👍
Thanks for watching 😊
The river Seine? If you swim there, are you "in Seine"?
😂 That's one for the 'dad jokes' archive... ;)
Once again, you created a fabulous vlog. If I wasn’t already committed to one special line, I’d go sailing with them. BTW, you also know me by my Twitter name - Pearl. I love following you as you globe hop and look forward to your releases. Thank you for extraordinary videos.
Hi Pearl. Thanks for connecting the Twitter and TH-cam ID's. Now I know who I'm talking to. Thank you for your kind words as always. :D
It is truly sad that a gorgeous and obviously expensive ship such as this allows kids onboard
I don't think there would be many, if any on an average trip.
