The Adèle is one of the world's most famous super-yachts, a magnificent beauty that plies the oceans with the grace of a thorough-bred.

Together with photographer Rick Tomlinson, he tells the tale of this wonderful journey, which is illustrated with some 400 pictures. They visit legendary places – including Spitsbergen, the Galapagos Islands, the Marquesas and Fiji – they meet people from many different cultures and they encounter polar bears, albatrosses, penguins and whales.
