Ponant Cruises

Discover the treasures of the land by sea on board luxurious yachts that are built on an intimate, human scale. French crew, expertise, attentive service, gastronomy: set sail in a five-star environment and enjoy a travel experience that is simultaneously authentic and sophisticated.

From 5-star Culture and Leisure cruises to Expeditions, PONANT creates unique itineraries that will meet any traveler’s desire for new horizons. Our ships explore every continent, from cultural experience in Northern Europe or a journey of discovery in South America, to an idyllic cruise in the Caribbean or a refined adventure among the Antarctic ice floes.

• Le Ponant, a three-mast yacht with 32 cabins for an intimate and friendly cruising atmosphere
• Le Boréal, L’Austral and Le Soléal, three luxurious ships with 132 cabins, featuring understated and refined exterior and interior decor And our latest jewel, Le Lyrial, the fourth sister-ship offering 122 cabins, launched in spring 2015

With a maximum capacity of 264 passengers, our small ships let you maintain your privacy and make you feel like you are on your very own private yacht—a yacht serving the iconic ports of call and secret harbors only accessible to smaller-sized ships.
