    Ponant offer unique off the beaten track Luxury expedition cruises to the worlds most pristine destinations on a unique collection of small ships.

    Expedition cruising doesn't mean slumming it, in fact its quite the opposite! With boutique luxury expedition cruise line Ponant you holiday on a fleet of Luxury expedition ships, purpose built for visiting the remoter parts of the planet.

    Ponant Expedition ships come complete with their own fleet of zodiacs to offer their own intimate off ship excursions. The brand new Ponant Le Commandant Charcot is the world's first PC2 Hybrid Electric/LNG powered polar exploration vessel purpose built for travel to the Arctic & Antarctica.

    We appreciate that first time Ponant Expedition cruisers may have lots of questions. Please talk to our Kiwi Cruise Specialists for unbiased advice on cabin selection, cruise inclusions and different types of cruiseline promotions.
