Ponant
French Savoir-Faire & Wild Discovery — Luxury Yachting at the Ends of the Earth.
The Travel Point Edit
Ponant is the definitive choice for the modern explorer who refuses to sacrifice elegance for adventure. As the only French-flagged cruise line, it brings a distinctive "chic" sensibility to high-latitude expeditions. With a fleet of sleek, small-capacity yachts and partnerships with world-class institutions like Ducasse Conseil and the Louvre, Ponant delivers a cultural and culinary journey as profound as the destinations themselves.
❤️ What We Love
- The Blue Eye: The world's first multi-sensory underwater lounge located beneath the water line.
- Ducasse Gastronomy: Culinary excellence curated by Ducasse Conseil, featuring the finest French pastries and gourmet dining.
- Exclusive Access: Small-ship design allows for landings in hidden Mediterranean coves and remote Arctic fjords.
⚓ To Consider
- Small Ship Motion: Because the yachts are intimate, you may feel the ocean's movement more than on larger vessels during rough crossings.
- Bilingual Nature: While all services are available in English, the primary onboard culture and announcements are French.
