cruise ships

Sailing on Compagnie du Ponant’s elegant and sophisticated fleet of five yachts offer a cruise experience unlike any other in the market today. Ponant guests will enjoy the best that France has to offer: exquisite cuisine, stylish accommodations, elegant design and a chic, yet informal style. Expansive sun decks and open-air restaurants mean guest enjoy an authentic sailing experience. Because of the intimate size of the vessels, guests feel as if they are sailing on their own private yacht. Personalized service is assured with a staff to guest ratio of 1:2.

Ponant’s philosophy – to offer small ship cruising with a bit of French flavor subtly blending a stylish, yet comfortable ambiance with discreet and welcoming service – is very much aligned with the aspirations of today’s travelers. Designed for those who like discovering new cultures and seeing unspoiled corners of the world, Compagnie du Ponant gives its guests a “front-row” deck chair. On our French-flagged cruise line, all the captains and officers are French and all speak fluent English, as does the rest of the crew, and are dedicated to providing the most rewarding experience at sea.
