Come aboard Le Soléal for an unforgettable voyage.
Discover the wild, unspoilt beauty of New Zealand's Fiordlands and Subantarctic Islands on this exceptional journey. Immerse yourself in the heart of the UNESCO-listed Fiordland National Park and its spectacular fjords. Often called “the Galápagos of the Southern Ocean”, New Zealand's Subantarctic Islands are among the world's best-preserved and most protected regions. Here, sweeping grasslands form a colourful tapestry, while towering cliffs battered by wind and waves provide a playground for the royal albatross. The New Zealand sea lions and the myriad penguins patrolling the black-sand beaches complete this dreamlike landscape.
Any disembarkation on the Subantarctic Islands is subject to weather conditions and on obtaining the authorisation of the local authorities. To preserve the wild environment of these islands, the number of visitors is in fact strictly controlled. Wherever possible, we will run Zodiac excursions around their shorelines in order to guarantee the best possible experience for all guests if it is not possible to disembark.
