Ponant Cruises offers a refined, French-inspired luxury cruise experience ideal for UK travellers seeking intimate voyages, elegant service, and extraordinary destinations.

Sailing on a fleet of small, sleek yachts—each designed to accommodate fewer than 300 guests—Ponant combines discreet sophistication with a focus on cultural discovery and environmental responsibility.

Ponant’s itineraries are crafted for the curious and well-travelled, with voyages exploring both iconic and remote regions, from the Mediterranean and Northern Europe to the Arctic, Antarctica, and beyond. Many cruises are accessible via convenient international connections, making it easy for UK guests to join these extraordinary journeys.

Onboard, the atmosphere is relaxed yet elegant, with French art de vivre reflected in everything from fine gastronomy curated by Ducasse Conseil to the stylish, minimalist décor. English is spoken fluently onboard, and service is warm and personalised. Guests enjoy all-inclusive pricing, covering gourmet dining, open bar, excursions on many sailings, and gratuities.

For more adventurous itineraries, Ponant’s fleet includes purpose-built expedition yachts with onboard experts, Zodiacs for landings, and state-of-the-art equipment—perfect for exploring the polar regions or remote archipelagos.

For UK travellers seeking culturally enriching, small-ship cruising with a touch of French elegance, Ponant offers a truly distinctive and luxurious way to discover the world.
