Accommodations Worthy of the Finest Private Yacht
Le Levant accommodates a maximum of 90 guests in 45 handsome outside staterooms

stateroom features a bedroom accented with inlaid wood, and a marble bathroom
with shower. A large picture window affords excellent views of the passing
scenery. Amenities include TV and VCR, refrigerator, generous storage space,
safe deposit box, and a wet bar.
Attractive Public Facilities
For your enjoyment, Le Levant offers a variety of public areas including: the
Grand Salon for lectures and special presentations; a verandah restaurant where
breakfast and lunch are served both indoors and out; a spacious, elegantly
appointed dining room; an inviting wood-paneled library filled with an excellent
selection of books; gymnasium; boutique; hair salon; and an outdoor pool and
bar. The promenade deck is ideal for walks.
All the Creature Comforts
Le Levant prides itself on an atmosphere of true joie de vivre, a delightful
combination of elegance and warmth, style and hospitality. Every meal is a
celebration of fine French cuisine. Lunch and dinner are enhanced by
complimentary wines. Attention to detail is evident in the designer fabrics and
superior appointments that make staterooms and public areas so welcoming and
luxurious. And with a 50-person French crew on board, passengers are assured of
impeccable service.
An All-Inclusive Experience

excursions and shore activities, an integral part of the cruise, are included at
no additional cost. Onboard seminars are available on the history and ecology of
our various destinations. In addition, guests are welcome to visit the bridge at

Dress Code
"Informal" is the catchword for the dress code throughout your
journey, and casual clothing is the order of the day. For the captain's welcome
party the first evening, it is suggested that men don a sport coat and ladies
wear more dressy attire. Please note that swimsuits and shorts are considered
unsuitable for function rooms.
Telecommunications
To send or receive communications anywhere in the world, you may use the
satellite communication system (fax and phone). These optional services and
