The French cruise ship company, Compagne du Ponant, owns and operates this small and cozy 10,600 ton ship that is set to embark on its Maiden Voyage in May, 2010. The ship can accommodate only 264 passengers making it one of the smallest cruise ships in the world. It is, in fact, more like an over-sized yacht.
