The deal seals the union of two brands that demonstrate French savoir-faire through their respective histories.

The captain’s welcome aboard cocktail party will be celebrated exclusively with Veuve Clicquot Champagne, starting first on Le Lyrial, Ponant's newest ship, then on the rest of the fleet.

The Observatory Lounge of Le Lyrial, on Deck 6 forward, will soon contain a Veuve Clicquot space where passengers can sip a glass of Champagne while admiring the view. A similar space will be installed on board Le Boréal, L’Austral and Le Soléal.

As for the new Premium Bar List, it will offer an exclusive selection of Veuve Clicquot champagnes (Brut Carte Jaune, Rosé, La Grande Dame) and alcohols from the luxury wine and spirits Moët Hennessy group.

Veuve Clicquot events will also be organized regularly on board all ships.
