Discover PONANT.
If you’re yearning to see new things, we’ve designed routes throughout the world that are rich with rare encounters. From thematic cruises to expedition cruises, PONANT has itineraries to suit all tastes.
With a maximum capacity of 264 passengers, our ships are expertly designed to offer you ample space to move and preserve your privacy while remaining compact enough to access the more intimate ports and stopovers inaccessible to the bigger ships.
Sleek and dynamic lines with a slender bow, the classic nautical spirit meets innovation. Our ships are specifically designed to accommodate a small number of passengers, offering a private and relaxing atmosphere while remaining small enough to port at secluded and rarely visited stops.
