Founded in 1988, Ponant has developed a new standard for luxury cruising that blends French elegance with the lively spirit of discovery, renowned for a fleet of smaller vessels designed to access lesser-travelled destinations. Through this approach, the brand continues to develop innovative, environmentally conscious ships with cutting-edge technology.
Ponant integrates advanced eco-design across the fleet, reinforcing a commitment to preserving the environments it visits. Expert-led excursions, partnerships with leading organisations and immersive cultural experiences enhance the journey, from polar expeditions to tropical escapes.
Travelling the French way
As the only cruise company sailing under the French flag, Ponant is an exponent for the French way of life across every sea on the globe. On board, this is translated through exceptional services, a multilingual crew and bringing French know-how to the fore.
Exceptional Destinations
From secluded ports to secret seas, from forgotten beaches to remote lands, Ponant's experts choose itineraries that take you away from major tourist routes so you can enjoy unique cruises and shorelines that few have seen before.
Ships on a Human Scale
Thanks to small capacity ships, Ponant can dock in private ports and offer stopovers in preserved locations. On board, the limited number of passengers means that everybody can enjoy special moments and feel as though they are on a private yacht.
Our Commitments
Ponant aims at becoming a world reference in the field of sustainable development in the cruising industry.
