DISCOVER THE TREASURES OF THE LAND BY SEA ON BOARD LUXURIOUS YACHTS THAT ARE BUILT ON AN INTIMATE, HUMAN SCALE. FRENCH CREW, EXPERTISE, ATTENTIVE SERVICE, GASTRONOMY: SET SAIL IN A FIVE-STAR ENVIRONMENT AND ENJOY A TRAVEL EXPERIENCE THAT IS SIMULTANEOUSLY AUTHENTIC AND SOPHISTICATED. PONANT HAVE DESIGNED ITINERARIES THAT ARE RICH IN ENCOUNTERS AND DISCOVERY ALL OVER THE WORLD: MOORING IN THE HEART OF SECRET BAYS IN THE MEDITERRANEAN, SAILING BETWEEN THE MAJESTIC ICEBERGS OF ANTARCTICA, EXPEDITIONS TO THE REMOTE LANDS OF ALASKA, OR ISLAND-HOPPING IN THE CARIBBEAN SEA.
A DIFFERENT CRUISE CONCEPT
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 ships a more welcoming feel and a unique atmosphere. It also enables our ships to access original and quieter ports of call, guaranteeing exclusive cruises and attentive and personalised service for all our guests.
Introducing the world to the French touch
The "French touch" is first and foremost established by the presence of French naval officers on board and a French and English-speaking crew. Both professional and attentive, our ships' teams ensure that you are comfortable throughout your cruise. Because French elegance is always about the little details, you will find all our services are 5-star , just like the best French hotels and restaurants.
While French standards throughout the world are synonymous with a certain understated elegance, it is also reflected in our expertise. The exceptional guests present on certain itineraries promote the best of French culture. They include "Chevaliers des arts et des lettres" (a French title of distinction in art and literature), decorated members of the French Legion of Honour, academics, members of the greatest universities, as well as researchers and scientists, and all of them are ambassadors of our unique French culture across every sea on the globe.
Enjoy a moment of tranquility at the spa or by the pool, work-out in the gym or take in a theatre show with your travel companions. Our ships have a variety of sublimely comfortable spaces to ensure your relaxation and share your experience with others to enhance your journey.
Leisure and wellbeing
The French 'art of living' is always present onboard, even on the other side of the world. The varied French-inspired menu is crafted to the highest standards, cooked by our chefs using superior quality ingredients and presented beautifully, dazzling your tastebuds throughout the cruise.
Fine cuisine
Our aim is to offer you a bespoke cruise, so every day we strive to offer you first class, intuitive service. Our staff are attentive and experienced, ensuring your comfort and are responsive to all requests, whether it's in your stateroom, lounges or in our various dining areas.

And with the help of our Creative Collective, which now includes Mark Ronson — who in addition to Diplo, is set to perform at The Beach Club at Bimini in 2020 — we're making the best beats on land sound even better at sea.
