For Le Dumont d'Urville: PONANT, its small sailing products and the Aqua Expeditions partner vessels have materially different fare inclusions. The current verified record does not establish one complete inclusion and exclusion schedule for this vessel, so dining, beverages, equipment, laundry and personal services must follow the exact ship, voyage and booking confirmation.
On Le Dumont d'Urville: Primary-bed and occupancy arrangements differ between PONANT ships, small yachts and Aqua Expeditions vessels. The current verified record does not name a child or third-guest sleeping surface for this vessel, so no extra bed is assumed without the exact category record.
For Le Dumont d'Urville: Activity availability depends on the vessel, voyage, destination and operating conditions. The current verified record does not establish that every named excursion or expedition activity is fare-included, so the exact program and booking confirmation control. If a preferred shore experience is not included, Deluxe Cruises can compare independent alternatives and check whether a lower price or better value is available than booking through the cruise line. Availability and savings vary and are confirmed before purchase.
Aboard Le Dumont d'Urville: The current verified record does not establish one Wi-Fi allowance, tier or device rule across the PONANT and Aqua Expeditions fleet. Deluxe Cruises will confirm the exact vessel and booking entitlement.
