"Traveling on Ponant's Le Bougainville (ranked #5 Small Ship), I found that smaller ships like this can access prime natural areas with minimal environmental impact; the vessel enabled wet landings at tiny islands and was part of an Abercrombie & Kent–run experience that included strict biosecurity such as dipping our shoes in antimicrobial liquid and vacuum-sealing our belongings to avoid harming the environment." - Maria Yagoda
