Our Cruise Ships

LE BOURGAINVILLE

Just like on a private yacht

Welcoming and spacious common areas, refined open-to-the-sea design, sleek exterior lines, a marina to make access to the ship's zodiac inflatables easier, hi-tech equipment, an outdoor pool, a multisensorial underwater lounge… Le Bougainville represents the new generation of ships designed to combine discovery and exploration with luxury, even in the planet's most remote and isolated regions.

LE CHAMPLAIN

A more eco-friendly sailing.

Like the rest of the PONANT EXPLORERS series, Le Champlain successfully manages to subtly combine the desire to explore the remotest regions of the planet with the comfort and privacy of a cosily intimate ship.

To the innovative and environmentally friendly equipment are added elegant design and a unique atmosphere in keeping with the whole PONANT universe. Your dream of a cruise onboard a cosily intimate ship is thus made possible through the combination of an authentically genuine voyage experience together with discreet luxury.

Ponant's small ships also mean that you can enjoy a more intimate and personalized experience, with a maximum of just 264 guests on board. The smaller size of the ships also allows them to navigate closer to the shore, giving you a unique and unforgettable perspective of the natural wonders around you.

In addition to the stunning destinations and luxurious amenities, Ponant is committed to sustainable tourism and minimizing its impact on the environment. Their ships are equipped with the latest eco-friendly technologies, and their crew is trained to protect the delicate ecosystems they visit. With Ponant, you can explore the world's most remote destinations with a clear conscience.
