Ponant is known for ultra-modern, intimate ships, attentive service and well-designed itineraries that touch all corners of the globe. Each year Ponant offers more than 400 awe-inspiring cruises, calling at more than 450 ports on all seven continents. From zodiac landings in Antarctica to hikes in the Arctic, immersion in Japanese culture and revisiting classic Europe, to the natural beauty of the Seychelles, Ponant presents destinations through a new lens.

Experience the “French Touch” onboard these sleek and intimate ships. Enjoy exquisite cuisine designed in partnership with Ducasse Conseil, Alain Ducasse’s restaurant experts; the Sothys spa, Hermés stateroom amenities, sumptuous macarons from Ladurée, Veuve Clicquot Champagne and select wines from Maison Taillevent. The fleet of 12 purpose-built ships welcomes aboard a limited number of passengers, so guests maintain their privacy and enjoy the feeling of being on their own private yacht.

Their entire Ponant fleet carries the international “Clean Ship” label, which certifies minimal environmental disruption, a rare distinction among ocean vessels. As a global leader in expeditions in extreme lands, Ponant ensures a rigorous protocol is in place for any landing in a new area. This innovative approach, involving a special team, has an ambitious aim: to ensure there is no impact whatsoever on the ecosystem of the chosen destination, thereby preserving the fauna, flora, and population.
