Thanks. I have looked at the Ponant web site and at Tauck's description. I was just hoping to get some insight from CCers who have done this trip.

orchestrapal - it is not a river cruise, but thanks for responding.

I am scheduled to sail on board Le Ponant this fall on Tauck's small ship cruise from Malta to Monaco. I would appreciate any and all information from those who have sailed on this cruise.

Specifically, I would like to know what to pack, about the highlights of each port, what to do on my extra days in Malta and Monte Carlo, etc.

I will be traveling solo and wonder if anyone else has done this and how you were received by fellow travelers.

Thank you.

Hi ddschur,

Good question. While Tauck offers both land and sea luxury experiences, CC is commited to focus on "cruise only" companies. That said, many Tauck cruise experiences and questions can be found on the "other cruise lines" forum on CC. Check that forum out, and I'll bet you can find some discussion on Tauck cruise tours! (Type Tauck in the search function on upper right)

 

I took a fantastic tour through Tauck, sailing on Le Ponant, all through the small islands of the med. Shes the sailing yacht that was overtaken by pirates not long ago! :D

Dan, I am going on Le Ponant via Tauck this September and wondered if you had any other info you cared to share about the ship. What is the dress code? Is there wi-fi available? Favorite ports? Anything! Thanks
