Discover PONANT Explorations

For travellers looking to combine expedition cruising with a more refined small-ship experience, PONANT Explorations offers voyages to some of the world’s most extraordinary and remote destinations. Their itineraries reach from the ice-covered landscapes of Antarctica and the Arctic to Greenland, South America, the South Pacific and beyond.

PONANT’s smaller expedition ships are designed to bring guests closer to the places they visit, with expert-led exploration and opportunities to discover wildlife, dramatic landscapes and remote communities. Depending on the itinerary, experiences can include Zodiac excursions, guided shore landings and wildlife encounters, complemented by the comfort and service of a luxury expedition ship.

With a strong emphasis on exploration and responsible travel, PONANT expedition cruises are particularly suited to travellers who want genuine adventure without giving up comfort. It’s a chance to explore beyond the usual cruise routes and experience parts of the world that few travellers ever reach.
