Le Commandant Charcot
Le Commandant Charcot is the first polar exploration vessel powered by hybrid electricity and liquefied natural gas. This responsible design has never been seen before in the polar environment. On board, two laboratories allow scientists to collect data that contributes to our understanding of the poles.
The PONANT EXPLORERS
Equipped with an underwater lounge, the Blue Eye, and the latest technologies limiting the impact on the environment, Le Lapérouse, Le Champlain, Le Bougainville, Le Dumont d’Urville, Le Bellot, and Le Jacques Cartier offer a new way to experience the power of an expedition.
Le Paul Gauguin
Le Paul Gauguin was specially designed to sail in the South Pacific, with a shallow draft that allows access to lagoons and isolated islands. Within the PONANT EXPLORATIONS GROUP, Paul Gauguin Cruises stands out for its international and relaxed atmosphere, offering a friendly and warm experience.
Aqua Expeditions
River cruises on the Mekong and the Peruvian Amazon. Explorations of the Galápagos Islands or eastern Indonesia. Whichever you choose, Aqua Expeditions offers personalised experiences in some of the most remote regions of the planet.
