LUXURY EXPEDITIONS 2018-2019

Expeditions in
luxury: a unique
concept
With PONANT, access the world's remote treasures
by sea, aboard luxurious limited-capacity expedition
ships. French crew, expertise, attentive service,
gastronomy: the promise of rare and special
moments in a luxurious environment, while visiting
some of the world’s rarely visited outer reaches.
Memorable travel experiences.
Limited-capacity yachts,
personalised service
Our ships are designed to accommodate a limited number of
passengers, with just 92 cabins on our new ships, Le Lapérouse
and Le Champlain, 132 on Le Boréal, L’Austral and Le Soléal and
122 on Le Lyrial.
This focus on a smaller number of cabins is a far cry from the
current industry trend towards gigantism and guarantees an aura
of exclusivity for our passengers. Because our ships are smaller,
they can easily access original and less crowded ports of call.
Just like on a private yacht, our crew are determined to give each
passenger attentive and personalised service. And for even more
comfort and peace of mind, our passengers travelling in one of the
suites on deck 6 have a butler at their disposal*.
The French Touch
PONANT is currently the only cruise line to sail under the French
flag and as such is subject to some of the world’s strictest safety
standards. Our officers are French and our highly approachable
crew mainly in bi-lingual.
PONANT extends this French Touch to the design, decor, service
and gastronomy. Our carefully selected partners represent and
perpetuate the French standard of excellence. Enjoy relaxed
elegance in a luxurious environment, whatever your destination.
