« When organising my event, I chose PONANT for the company’s reputation, its small and friendly ships - undoubtedly the most luxurious in the entire cruise industry - and especially for its convenient communal spaces. What I particularly liked about PONANT was the bespoke options available, including menus, evening events and ports of call. This was very useful in tailoring the trip to suit my guests, and I would particularly recommend this option for charters. As for the service on board, it was faultless: the staff were always ready to help and had that special French charm. The ships are real yachts with an intimate environment, high-end French-style service and amazing flexibility. The cruise was a wonderful Incentive trip and that’s why I would recommend Le Ponant when organising an event. »

Olivier SIX, Cap 5 Incentive for a large industrial and construction company

«Our Incentive trip on board Le Ponant was a great success, particularly because of the warm and welcoming atmosphere but also thanks to the staff’s polite and personable demeanour which made our guests feel immediately at home. The crew and the captains were amazing! Very proactive, flexible and always on hand to help. The crew members were charming and professional at the same time, they met our every need and made sure that we had an unforgettable time on board Le Ponant. For us, the combination of French elegance and contemporary architecture makes Le Ponant the perfect choice for Incentive trips.»

Ulrike Kappeler, Myseavent

« Working with PONANT was an absolute pleasure for an incentive agency like ours, which focuses on exclusivity and excellence for its clients. As an agency, we were particularly impressed by the responsiveness and flexibility of PONANT’s representatives. Our clients were bowled over by the elegance on board the yachts, the staff’s willingness to help and the client-orientated approach from the minute we stepped on the deck until our moment of departure. »

Delphine McIntosh, FACET, Paris

« A big thank you to the crew as our trip was a huge success. Main strengths: the staff were always available to help, were flexible in dealing with any request and the food was outstanding. PONANT’s success is down to the family atmosphere on board, the whole team is involved in the event’s success. A special mention goes to the cruise director and the two barmen! »
