Welcome to one of France's most renowned cruise lines, Ponant Cruises, and be seduced by the refinement of French "savoir vivre:" the art of hospitality, gastronomy and top quality service. Discover exceptional sites, inaccessible to large ships, and secret moorings way off the beaten track.
Ponant cruises offer chic cruising without the crowds, in the comfort of a private cruise onboard vessels of intimate size, exclusive to between 64 and 226 guests. The fleet of five vessels allows for choice: Le Ponant, with 32 cabins, is a refined and efficient three-masted sailing yacht; Le Levant, with 45 cabins is a sleek and low-profile yacht and Le Diamant, with 113 cabins, is a true expedition ship that can sail to the Polar regions. Entering service in 2010 are two, new state-of-the-art ships L'Boreal and L'Austral, both with 132 cabins.
Interiors on board Ponant cruise ships are elegant and uncluttered and the dining is exquisite French and International cuisine, with complimentary wines included at lunch and dinner. Indeed, many "extras" are included, as well as all meals, such as mineral water, tea, filtered coffee and porterage from and to the quayside. The ambiance is one of informality and fun: leave your tuxedo and tie at home!
Combining originality and splendour Ponant Cruises itineraries make the most beautiful coastlines and countrysides your secret home. On board, lecturers and naturalists, passionate about their subjects, give a further dimension to the sights you will enjoy.
Come aboard a Ponant cruise and your dreams of exploration, passion, refinement and elegance will remain incomparable!
