An exceptional fleet
PONANT invites you to discover or rediscover iconic destinations aboard its ships all sailing under the French flag: Le Ponant, an elegant 3-masted sailboat of 32 cabins for a cruise with an intimate and friendly atmosphere, L'Austral, Le Boréal, Le Soléal and Le Lyrial, four luxurious ships of 132 cabins maximum, with sophisticated & refined exterior and interior lines, and our PONANT EXPLORERS, six exceptional yachts specially designed for expedition.
Accommodating a maximum of 264 passengers, our ships let you maintain your privacy; you feel as if you are sailing on your own private yacht. A yacht serving the legendary ports of call and secret harbours that are only accessible to small ships.
Cruises with the French touch
On our cruise ships, it is only natural that a certain French art of living resonates through the main language spoken, the accessible crew, the French design, cuisine and wines, and the discreet service. Passengers of all nationalities truly enjoy the relaxed, cultured atmosphere.
Innovative itineraries
From five-star Culture and Relaxation cruises to Expedition cruises, PONANT creates exclusive itineraries that take you to new horizons. Our ships offer you the opportunity to explore every continent: a nature break in Northern Europe, a journey of discovery in South America, an idyllic cruise in the Caribbean or an amazing adventure among the Antarctic ice floes.
