A different cruise concept

Exceptional destinations

From Antarctic ice to Pacific lagoons, Mediterranean coves to Asian shores, PONANT has sailed through every sea on the planet for nearly thirty years.
Our experts have put all their efforts into creating routes which enable 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

PONANT's ships have been purposefully designed to welcome a limited number of guests: with 32 to 132 staterooms, our 9 ships offer comfort comparable to the very finest luxury hotels.

Unlike the giant ships of other cruise companies, this philosophy gives our vessels a more welcoming feel and a unique atmosphere. It also enables our ships to access original and quieter ports of call, guaranteeing a feeling of exclusivity 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 demanding in the world in terms of safety.

You're sure to appreciate the signature French feel of our design, services and cuisine. Our carefully selected partners share our passion for French excellence.

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