Discover PONANT
As the only French cruise line sailing the globe and as world leader in luxury expeditions, PONANT continues the great French maritime tradition, offering exceptional destinations on small capacity ships embodying a lifestyle “à la française”: a travel concept that combines intimacy and curiosity, luxury and authenticity.
Our DNA
From the moment we were founded, we made the bold decision to focus on smaller cruise ships. Our closely-knit teams allow each employee the opportunity to play their part and contribute to the company’s development. A shared passion for the sea and a love for travel is the vital ingredient that unites our teams.
Our expertise
The only French yacht cruise company, PONANT has become the leader in a new style of luxury cruising and promotes the art of sea travel around the world. We are a key player in the luxury sector and a fine example of French maritime tradition with our high quality services. Our employees exhibit a sense of excellence, refinement and eye for detail - the keys to our success. We are now continuing our development with a shareholder who shares this same vision for the future: Artémis, a holding of the Pinault family.
A unique approach to cruising, PONANT yacht cruises reinvent the cruise concept and offer a new way to discover or rediscover iconic destinations by providing:
- Access deep into the very heart of ports and harbours, from the most iconic to the most secret and lesser-known
- A more friendly and personal cruise experience onboard intimately-sized ships
- Opportunities to encounter and meet local peoples
- Passengers with the benefit of having honoured guests and expert speakers invited onboard to share their specialist knowledge and passions
