PONANT is a French luxury expedition and cruise line with over 35 years of expertise, operating intimate ships with just 6 to 165 staterooms. They sail under the French flag, representing the highest level of safety, and are one of the few companies offering voyages to both polar regions and tropical destinations. Their fleet includes Le Commandant Charcot, the only luxury expedition cruise ship capable of reaching the Geographic North Pole.
PONANT sails to a remarkable range of destinations including the Arctic and North America, the Caribbean, the Atlantic and Northern Europe, the Mediterranean, Asia and the Indian Ocean, Oceania and Polynesia, and Antarctica. Their Summer 2026 season covers Greenland, Iceland, Svalbard, Norway, the British Isles, the Mediterranean, Japan, Indonesia, Australia, and French Polynesia. Itineraries range from 5 to 20+ nights, including Grand Voyages for extended exploration.
PONANT cruise fares typically include refined dining created in partnership with Ducasse Conseil, an open bar with selected beverages, onboard entertainment and lectures, use of spa and wellness facilities, expedition equipment (such as parkas and rubber boots on expedition voyages), and Zodiac excursions led by expert naturalist guides. Port taxes and certain excursions are also included depending on the itinerary. PONANT also offers no-single-supplement options on select cruises for solo travellers.
PONANT's dining is created with Ducasse Conseil and features delicious breakfasts, a la carte dishes, diverse buffets, home-made pastries, bread baked on board, and afternoon teas with luxury product tastings including pata negra and caviar. Le Commandant Charcot also features Nuna, the only Alain Ducasse gastronomic restaurant at sea. Onboard wellness includes spas with treatments by Clarins, Biologique Recherche, Sothys, and Algotherm, plus fitness rooms, hairdressing salons, swimming pools, and a theatre for films, lectures, and performances.
PONANT offers a wide range of excursions including Zodiac landings, hiking, sea kayaking, diving, dogsled rides (in Greenland), and cultural community visits. Many expedition voyages include excursions led by expert naturalist guides as part of the fare. Additional curated excursions designed around themes of Planet, Culture, Lifestyle, and Geopolitics are available for purchase. Trips are designed with the support of passionate onboard experts including historians, researchers, and artists.
PONANT is ideal for culturally curious, well-travelled adults who appreciate French elegance, refined gastronomy, and meaningful expedition experiences. It suits solo travellers (with no-single-supplement options on over 150 cruises), couples, and small groups seeking intimate ships and expert-led explorations. It is particularly appealing to those interested in polar exploration, music and arts partnerships (Opera national de Paris, Radio Classique), and sustainable, responsible travel.
PONANT offers the PONANT Yacht Club loyalty program, which rewards repeat guests with escalating benefits including priority booking, onboard credits, suite upgrades, and exclusive invitations to events. They also run seasonal promotions such as no-single-supplement offers on select cruises, early booking discounts, and combination voyage savings. Guests should visit ponant.com for the latest promotional offers.
PONANT provides Wi-Fi access onboard their ships, though connectivity may vary in remote expedition regions such as polar areas. Their cancellation policy follows a tiered penalty schedule based on the time before departure, with full details available in the General Terms and Conditions of Sale at ponant.com. Travel insurance is recommended, and specific terms may vary by voyage type and destination.
