Where they sail

PONANT’s luxury expeditions take guests to the wildest and most far-flung parts of the world; from pole to pole and all the way around the circumference of the Earth.

All itineraries offer immersive experiences both on and off the ship, with expert guides and lecturers available to make your trip as in-depth as possible.

Marvel at other-worldly landscapes in Antarctica, immerse yourself in the ancient cultures of the indigenous people in the Kimberley, explore New Zealand’s secluded subantarctic islands home to an array of wildlife and stunning landscapes, and discover secret coves and secluded ports along the Mediterranean coast. PONANT takes you to exceptional destinations, which only a few very lucky people have the chance to explore. With legendary stopovers, secret ports, isolated archipelagos and more. From South Georgia’s black-sand beaches where large colonies of king penguins have taken up residence to the crystal-clear waters and stunning coral reefs of the Seychelles and the wild and unspoiled natural environments of Alaska. There is a PONANT voyage to suit every traveller’s dream.

Explore the most isolated Arctic and Antarctic regions of the planet for the first time with Le Commandant-Charcot. Discover Western and Eastern Antarctica with its ice expanses, spectacular mountainous landscapes and vast colonies that bring together several thousand penguins, and exceptional marine wildlife: fur seals, albatrosses, elephant seals, orcas, and whales. Embark on an adventure to the Arctic as never before, with each port of call, observe exceptional wildlife in its natural habitat, lounging on the ice floe or playing in the wake of your ship, and set off to meet the Inuit people for memorable encounters.
