PONANT Yacht Cruises & Expeditions

Offering small ship expeditions across the globe

About

We invite you to sail far from the usual tourist routes, in the wake of great explorers and adventurers who have fired the dreams of so many travelers. In the heart of the Arctic Far North, on the edge of the mythical White Continent, along the meanders of the Amazon River or even on the immaculate beaches of Oceania, our carefully curated itineraries promise unique experiences featuring unusual and immersive encounters.

Explore the hidden treasures of the Russian Arctic sailing between Norway and Alaska, threading a path through the mythical Northeast Passage, that is only free of ice at a certain time of year. Or perhaps you’d prefer to explore the natural and historic riches of Svalbard during an all-new cruise exclusively dedicated to this wild archipelago in the far north of Norway. In the southern hemisphere, venture to the distant lands of Tasmania and the Kimberley, one of the last wilderness frontiers in the world, or let yourself be captivated by the Indian Ocean’s crystal-clear waters, which are teeming with life.

Aboard our exceptional, environmentally friendly, small luxury expedition ships, fitted with the latest maritime technological developments, you will experience an expedition cruise the PONANT way: venture to remote locations while enjoying outstanding comfort and design, intuitive service and Zodiac® outings accompanied by naturalist guides to enhance the experience.

Drawing on over thirty years of experience sailing in extreme regions, PONANT offers an increasing range of voyages, rich in personal discoveries and emotional connections. Discover Le Commandant Charcot; the latest addition to the fleet and the only luxury hybrid polar exploration vessel in the world, capable of sailing into the very heart of the ice, and promising exceptional voyages to the highest northern and southern latitudes. We hope to see you on board very soon!
