Today, the luxury ship Le Bellot moored at the Obrońców Westerplatte Quay, inaugurating the cruise season in Gdańsk. This elegant cruiser attracts passengers not only with its comfort, but also with its rich cultural offer. Her visit highlights the important position of Gdańsk in the network of popular tourist destinations.
Le Bellot, built in 2020, is a
modern example of luxury combined with functionality. This ship, 131
m long and 18 m wide, was designed to provide maximum comfort for 184
guests located on 5 passenger decks. Both its maximum speed of 12.5
knots and its proportions allow you to explore the most remote and
hard-to-reach places in the world.
The vessel has 92 luxuriously equipped cabins, each with a private balcony, ensuring privacy and the opportunity to admire the views. The ship boasts advanced facilities: from the panoramic Le Nautilus restaurant, capable of accommodating all passengers, to the outdoor restaurant with grill on deck 3, perfect for relaxing with a meal al fresco. Guests also have access to a Spa center, a theater and an observation box with a 180-degree view.
The ship flies the French flag and
employs a 112-person crew. This ensures a high standard of service
and safety.
The vessel's visit to Gdańsk takes
place as part of the A Musical Journey on the Baltic Sea cruise,
organized in cooperation with Radio Classique, which guarantees
passengers an unforgettable cultural experience. During this unique
journey, participants have the opportunity to enjoy concerts by
outstanding classical music artists.
