Embark on a luxury cruise aboard one of our PONANT ships and experience a truly exceptional sea voyage with a difference. PONANT promises you unforgettable moments aboard our sleek and intimately sized cruise yachts, all of which sail under the French flag. Discover the innovatively designed cruise ship Le Boréal and her three sister vessels: L’Austral, Le Soléal and Le Lyrial. Experience Le Ponant, our famous three-masted ship, with her 16 staterooms, each combining traditional authenticity with modern comfort; and enjoy the pleasures of Le Lapérouse, a technologically cutting-edge cruise ship, the first in the PONANT EXPLORERS series. For 30 years now, our luxury cruise ships have been calling at both famous ports and lesser-known anchorages accessible only to smaller ships. As the number one luxury polar cruise operator, we offer a range of discovery expeditions to the majestic landscapes of the Arctic and the Antarctic.
