Where Luxury Meets the Runway: PONANT’s Exclusive Italian Fashion Voyage
For the discerning traveler, a journey should be more than a destination—it should be a masterpiece. That is precisely the promise of a breathtaking new collaboration unveiled by PONANT Explorations, which has partnered with five of Italy’s most prestigious luxury houses to create an 11-day voyage that celebrates the pinnacle of Italian craftsmanship and style.
This is not simply a cruise; it is a meticulously curated cultural immersion designed for those who value authenticity and aesthetic discovery.
A Floating Celebration of Made in Italy
Sailing from Livorno to Venice aboard the elegant Le Boréal from September 8 to 18, 2027, this exclusive journey welcomes just 184 guests, guaranteeing an atmosphere of intimacy and understated luxury.
The collaborators are a collection of icons synonymous with Italian style and artistic heritage: Gucci, Bottega Veneta, Brioni, Pomellato, and Ginori 1735. This fusion of ultra-luxury cruising with high-fashion expertise transforms the voyage into a private itinerary through Italy's most discreetly glamorous destinations, including stops like Florence and Capri.
Privileged Access and Master Artisans
As Le Boréal navigates Italy’s storied coasts, guests are invited far beyond the typical tourist path:
Exclusive Receptions: Enjoy private receptions held within magnificent, rarely seen palazzi.
Mastery Unveiled: Engage in conversations with master artisans and witness demonstrations of time-honored techniques that define Italian excellence.
Gucci and Ginori: For those who wish to extend the immersion, pre-cruise options include a private visit to Gucci's renowned Palazzo and Archives in Florence.
With personalized service and sun-drenched Mediterranean cuisine completing the experience, this voyage is a testament to refined living. It is a rare opportunity to experience the true soul of Italy through the lens of its most celebrated luxury houses.
