Die Adria überrascht und begeistert mit hunderten bezaubernden Inseln, die sich entlang der Küste erstrecken, und ihrem außergewöhnlichen Kulturerbe. Diese von Stränden und kleinen Buchten gesäumte Region strahlt Ruhe, Stille und Gelassenheit aus. Jeder, der in diesen türkisfarbenen Gewässern unterwegs ist, kehrt mit einzigartigen Erinnerungen zurück. Gehen Sie zu einer 8-tägigen Kreuzfahrt an Bord der Le Bougainville und entdecken Sie die unvergleichliche Pracht der Städte.
Ihre Kreuzfahrt beginnt in Venedig. Sie haben die Gelegenheit, die Stadt der Dogen mit ihren zahlreichen Kanälen, den Vaporetto-Booten und den berühmten Gondeln zu entdecken, bevor Ihre Reise weitergeht nach Kroatien in die Stadt Rovinj.
Im Norden Dalmatiens liegt das hübsche Fischerdorf Primosten mit seinen schönen traditionellen Steinhäusern und dem von der Republik Venedig geprägten Architekturerbe vor Ihnen. Das Tor zu den wunderschönen Wasserfällen von Krka begeistert mit seinem authentischen Flair und seiner außergewöhnlichen Umgebung.
Split öffnet Ihnen seine Tore. Sie entdecken den historischen Stadtkern, der zum UNESCO-Welterbe zählt, und seine Schätze wie den Diokletianpalast oder die Kathedrale des hl. Domnius.
Nach einem Zwischenstopp in Hvar nimmt die Le Bougainville Kurs auf die Insel Brac. Bol, die älteste Hafenstadt der Insel, offenbart sich in einem Labyrinth aus malerischen Gassen, gesäumt von traditionellen Häusern mit weißen Fassaden und roten Ziegeldächern, und paradiesischen Stränden, wie dem berühmtesten von ihnen: dem Kieselstrand von Zlatni Rat.
Weiter nördlich, vor der Küste Istriens, liegt die kleine Inselgruppe Brijuni, die als wahres Paradies auf Erden gilt. Auf diesen paradiesischen kleinen Inseln, auf denen kein Auto fährt, können Sie sich bei einer Kajak- oder Fahrradtour von den einsamen Buchten, antiken Ruinen und dem Nationalpark verzaubern lassen.
Anschließend legen Sie in Pula, der römischsten aller kroatischen Städte, an, bevor es weitergeht nach Slowenien. Die von Festungsmauern umgebene Altstadt von Piran versetzt Sie in eine mittelalterliche Atmosphäre mit venezianischem Einflüssen. Lassen Sie sich durch die Salzgärten führen, in denen jahrhundertealte Produktionsmethoden und die Wahrung der Traditionen an der Tagesordnung sind, und entdecken Sie die für das Fleur de Sel bekannten Salzgärten. Als krönender Abschluss führt die Reise Sie nach Venedig, der Serenissima, und ihrer Lagune.

PONANT has joined forces with the Maud Fontenoy Foundation to run its Kid Explorers children’s club.
As part of its commitment to safeguarding the oceans, during your cruise PONANT offers an activity programme for children aged 4 to 13 years old to familiarise them with issues related to protecting our oceans. We have special educational kits, activity sheets and themed videos all provided by the Foundation.
Every day a team of activity leaders organises creative activities (crafts, painting, etc.), fun educational workshops, board games, introduction to meditation sessions and more, as well as activities specific to the cruise itinerary and number of participants. There are also activities ashore to prolong the experience for your Kid Explorers such as walks, treasure hunts and swimming.
The activity programme is available every day up to 9.30pm (and as an exception until 10.30pm on gala evenings). To best meet your needs, the schedule is adapted to fit in with your cruise programme. For more information, contact the team organising the activities.
Activity schedules are posted daily in the logbook.

Maud Fontenoy Foundation
Since 2008, the Maud Fontenoy Foundation has been operating in France and internationally to protect our oceans. We organise educational activities focused on the environment for the younger generation and general public, with support from scientific partners and the French Ministry of National Education. The latter has made us responsible for its Sea Education programme and relaunch of the Sea Classes initiative. Our aim is both ecological and social: to protect the ocean and save people. We start from a strong principle that protecting the environment, particularly the ocean, is a humanitarian issue that affects all mankind, without exception. For us, the oceans are a powerful force, a potential for the future. Every year, 700,000 children benefit from our programmes.

Dennoch erliegen Sie unweigerlich dem Charme der unzähligen Schätze der „Serenissima“: Markusplatz, Basilika, Dogenpalast, Canal Grande und die Gondeln. Sie möchten sicherlich auch ein weniger bekanntes Venedig entdecken, sich in dem Gewirr aus Gässchen und Kanälen verlieren, die Plätze besichtigen und hinter die Türen der Kirchen schauen.

Aus der Luft betrachtet zeichnet die Inselgruppe Brijuni abgerundete Formen in leuchtenden Farben auf den blauen Farbverlauf der Adria. Diese Gruppe von 14 istrischen Inseln ist dank ihres milden Klimas und ihrer günstigen geografischen Lage seit der Bronzezeit von Menschen bewohnt. Das bedeutende Architekturerbe dieser Inseln umfasst insbesondere römische Ruinen aus dem 1. Jahrhundert v. Chr. Überreste aus der byzantinischen und venezianischen Periode vervollständigen diesen Einblick in die Geschichte, die sich bis ins 19. Jahrhundert und die Ankunft des österreichischen Industriellen Paul Kupelwiser fortsetzt. Durch den Kauf der Hauptinsel des Archipels Veli Brijun trug er aktiv zu ihrem Ruhm unter den österreichisch-ungarischen Aristokraten der Belle Époque bei. Später gesellten sich große politische Führer wie Marschall Tito, der ehemalige Präsident Jugoslawiens, zu den bedeutenden Schriftstellern der Zeit wie James Joyce oder Thomas Mann. Aufgrund ihrer natürlichen Schönheit und ihrer Artenvielfalt erhielten die Inseln 1983 den Status eines Nationalparks.
