On Expedition: Shari Tucker discovers Belize, Honduras with PONANT

In December 2023, Halifax-based travel advisor Shari Tucker embarked on a new seven-night PONANT itinerary called Belize and Honduras: Unexpected Encounters and Nature on the expedition ship Le Dumont d’Urville.

“One of my professional goals for 2023 was to try my first expedition cruise,” Tucker tells Travel Courier. “The allure of off-the-beaten track destinations with fewer tourists, combined with a company who is having a positive impact through travel, is a sweet spot for me. This trip encompassed many firsts for me. It was my first time sailing with PONANT, my first time on a small ship — only 92 Staterooms — my first time on an expedition cruise and my first-time visiting Honduras.”

Tucker, who runs Love The Way You Travel, says the new eight day / seven night itinerary starts and ends in Belize City with sailings to multiple small islands and cays in Honduras and Belize was full of memorable moments.
