A PONANT cruise promises adventures with a personal touch, guided by an experienced and passionate crew.

Full steam ahead for the Far North:a luxury cruise in the Arctic

Set off to discover the Arctic , the fascinating and challenging region of the first polar explorers, aboard our high-end ships , where everything is focused on luxury, comfort, refinement and intimacy. Outside, a myriad of fjords, sea ice, icebergs and glaciers – the favoured realms of whales, walruses, reindeer and polar bears – are just waiting to be admired.

Head to the largest desert in the world: a luxury cruise in Antarctica

Set off on an adventure to the vast expanses of the White Continent, following in the footsteps of Ernest Shackleton, Roald Amundsen and Jean-Baptiste Charcot. A land of adventure and science , Antarctica is encircled by the vast Southern Ocean and preserves countless fascinating and mysterious natural wonders. Subglacial streams and lakes, thousand-year-old volcanoes and mountains, windswept dry valleys, and more: these breathtaking polar landscapes are home to incredible wildlife, which includes petrels and albatrosses, Adélie, gentoo and Emperor penguins, leopard seals, whales and dolphins.

Explore the wonderlands of the Med: a luxury cruise in the Mediterranean

Revisit the Mediterranean and its incredible historical and natural treasures. Stimulate your senses by sampling the culinary delights of unspoilt regions and enjoy the quality of a luxury ship designed for travelling in the sun , with large windows, an underwater lounge, a heated seawater pool and relaxing spa treatments.

Raise awareness, preserve and respect

PONANT also works with international NGOs via its foundation to preserve ecosystems worldwide.

Ponant needs to improve

Ponant markets itself as a 5 star cruise line but in reality it is barely 4 stars. The coffee on board has no taste and no trained baristas either. The soups and vegetables served are usually lukewarm. Staff are polite but not overly friendly. The only really friendly crew members are the dining room and housekeeping staff who are all Filipino. Food was much better before 2020 and more “French cuisine”

Date of experience : April 27, 2024

Penguins, whales and amazing scenery

Ponant took us to Antarctica in Jan 2023. (From Dunedin to Hobart) We absolutely loved it. The ship Le Soleil has great viewing decks and lounges, the cabins are nice, the food fantastic and all the staff - both on board and the booking agents on shore - were just the best. We have cruised with other cruise lines - Seabourn and Silversea amongst them - but Ponant is now one of our favourites.

Reply from PONANT

Hello, Thank you for your positive feedback about your experience with us. We look forward to having you onboard again. PONANT Team

Dodged a bullet

Incredibly slow at processing a refund to the extent that I think this is their policy rather than an honest mistake. I recieved a partial refund (did they hope I would not notice the shortfall) but no one available to explain where the rest of my money is. Whole team in a meeting for 30 mins and will call you back - fair enough. Several hours later I call again to be told whole team is in a meeting for 30 minutes and they will call back. Beyond frustrated with the incompetence, poor communication and lack of service. Is this the sort of treatment you want from a luxury cruise line - if not give them a miss. I really feel I dodged a bullet if their admin is this bad before you sail I hate to think what sailing with them would be like

Date of experience : February 13, 2024

We apologize for the delay in processing your refund. Your experience is not up to our service standards and we are working to resolve this issue as quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience and understanding. The PONANT team

Great small and picturesque ports of call. We like the personal touch, shuttles into town and town maps should we not do the offered excursions. Sometimes finding to ship for the initial embarkation and the process has been a bit chaotic. Like the French and when local wines are offered.

Not worth the money: amateur hour on a 5 star ship

10 nites Seychelles and Zanzibar. The ship was lovely. The food was great. Most of the staff tried to be as accomodating as possible. BUT it was amateur hour much of the time. Departments on the ship had problems communicating with one another. Too many times was told "not my job." Planning for contingencies (bad weather, equipment problems, local access issues) was all done on the fly. French passengers were prioritized such that English speakers were denied meaningful access to the highlight of the trip: Aldabra atoll. HQ promised communication re the issues but one week later nothing but dead silence. Sorry but when one charges a premium price the value provided needs to be much better. The off ship experience was so disorganized and disappointing that it barely reached 2 stars. On a 5 star ship. With 6 star pricing. Ponant needs significant improvement before it can be recommended. The problems start at HQ and HQ is too proud to acknowledge the need for change. So much potential but not worth the money. Update: AFTER this review was published I received an offer for a 20% discount and a demand that I take down the review. Ponant senior management has far too little understanding of the need for timely communication and trust. I stand by the review above

Date of experience : February 08, 2024

Fantastically organized, great food and accommodation, friendly staff and great excursions from the ship. A smaller vessel with a maximum of about 280 passengers is certainly the way to go. Definitely worth the extra money if you’ve ever thought about a cruise but dread the thought of a massive floating listeria palace.

Beware of doing any village ‘tours’ on the Suvasuva (Fiji) part of a Pacific tour. We just paid USD110 per head to have a tour guide expound about Mr Tony Robbins and his programs on the island. There was little cultural insight, rather it was 4 hours of real estate information, ie which American owns which house,and of course, more of Mr Tony Robbins. It was the worst organised tour I’ve ever done, and would caution people.

Date of experience : January 17, 2023

Cruising in style.

Great experience, liked very much the smaller more intimate cruise and the French style and cuisine. The excursions were all very good, with English speaking guides for us. Already booked the next cruise with Ponant.

Best Cruising - Hands Down !

Our first cruise with Ponant from Alaska to Canada in 2019 was spectacular. The attention to detail was second to none in every aspect, from bow to stern, restaurants, entertainment, bridge, guide talks, escorted excursions, accommodation, and the food and service was exceptional After just one cruise it’ll be only Ponant for us. Really looking forward to our next one coming up !!!! Brian & Pam

Fabulous scenery (the Kimberley)Once on board everything was easy.Crew were excellent and knowledgeable.Food and wine more than acceptable in fact most enjoyable.

Follow up on Ponant , be wary!…

I am following up on a report I sent regarding promise from Ponant following cancelled trip blamed on Covid. If you look at report Ponant were going to invite us to a short Cruise with them and once again they have let us down. We love Cruising and will be taking our 36th cruise in 2 weeks time onboard Queen Mary. Ponant being new to UK were offering trip to Rejkiavik from Edinburgh. Paid for Cruise our return flight and Hotel in Rejkiavik. Cruise was cancelled they say due to Covid but the same ship on same due was now due to be in Copenhagen, please be wary of Ponant!

Date of experience : September 17, 2022

Our Kimberly Cruise was fabulous

Our Kimberly Cruise was fabulous. The ship, Le Soleal, was very comfortable, with choice of casual or formal restaurants. The expedition leaders and all of the science experts were accessible, friendly and helpful. We learned so much on each of the daily expeditions. Not to be missed, in my view.

Super cruise line

Super cruise line, certainly the best experience we have had. First a trip from Panama thru the canal and on to Lima. Next a quick backwards S from Aukland down the Easter edge of North Island, thru the strait, and the western fiords around to end in Dunedin. Our third trip was an exploratory trip into the New Zealand fiords and south with 13 naturalists around the sun-Antarctic Islands. Love the quality of experience, live-aboard life, and the details the line and especially the expert crew and officers. Food, conversation, programs, and safety remains second to none thru all three voyages. Love the practical quality and style, in attitude and service. No unnecessary pretentiousness. Sign us up.

Service was exemplary

Service was exemplary. Food and wine choices were excellent. Staff were warm and friendly. Suite was extremely comfortable. I will definitely travel again very happily with Ponant.

From the moment we embarked on the…

From the moment we embarked on the yacht until embarkation we were made to feel welcome and like family. The hardware is delightful, the staff attentive and the cuisine outstanding. Only bug was the little additional charges for some drinks especially when you were invited to a cocktail party and then charged for champagne, best to have this additional cost included. We have already booked another cruise to Norway and next year French Polynesia.

Ponant is the best cruising company

Ponant is the best cruising company we have encountered up to today. They produce a real 5 star hotel environment on their small ships, giving an exclusive experience. Cabins, food, drinks, and - most important - employees are just perfect.

Date of experience : June 28, 2023

Sailed from Bergen

Sailed from Bergen, Norway to Glasgow, Scotland, my second Ponant cruise. There were multiple excursions available to choose from in each port, and I signed up for the pre-cruise tour of Bergen. Everything went smoothly, but boarding in Bergen took a long time, and it was not clear that the trip would not actually include seeing Glasgow, since the port where the cruise ended was outside the city, and bus transportation went directly to the airport.

Ponant Refusing Refunds

The Seychelles has banned cruises there through 2022. Until they decide to cancel, we can't get a refund per their Terms and Conditions. However they have refused refunds for all of their recent cancellations even though they are legally obligated to do so only offering Future Cruise Credits. Upon cancellation by Ponant, we will file a credit card dispute for a refund. Additionally, our trip insurer said they will give us a refund if Ponant will not. The world is watching you Ponant. Update: We were able to get a full refund from our credit card company without any problem.

Date of experience : May 20, 2020

Ponant is a 5 star hotel and a 2 star Michelin restaurant on the water. The food and wine are incredible!! The service was fantastic. The shore excursions were well curated with expert guides. A wonderful experience!

Great experience

Excellent staff, excellent food, excellent wines. Only somewhat negative is the bar staff - Eastern European - need to smile more, like your Filipino staff on other ships.

Hello, Thank you for your positive feedback about your experience with us. Don't hesitate to share more details with our customer service so we can improve our crew trainings. We look forward to having you onboard again. PONANT Team
