A different cruise concept

Exceptional destinations

From Antarctic ice to Pacific lagoons, Mediterranean coves to Asian shores, PONANT has sailed every sea on the planet for nearly thirty years.
Our experts are dedicated to creating itineraries that allow you to access the Earth's treasures by sea. Every year, we organise more than 200 cruises, visiting more than 100 countries and nearly 400 ports on 100 different routes.

Our destinations

Smaller ships

Our ships have been purposefully designed to welcome a limited number of guests: with 32 to 132 staterooms, our nine ships offer high-end comfort comparable to beautiful luxury hotels.

Unlike the giant ships you may be used to seeing with other cruise companies, this aspect gives our ships a more welcoming feel and unique atmosphere. It also enables our ships to access smaller and quieter ports of call, guaranteeing exclusive cruises and attentive and personalised service for all our guests.

A French way of life

Today, PONANT is the only French cruise company - and one of the most highly-qualified in the world in terms of safety.

We're sure you'll appreciate the signature French feel of our design, services and cuisine. The partners who join us on selected cruises to enrich your journey share our passion for French excellence.

Lovers of ocean voyages, discover a new, luxurious way to travel with Ponant.
