The big advantages of small, luxury ships
Go north
Exploring the Inuit villages of Kullorsuaq, Greenland, by foot.
There are incredible wonders to be found in the Arctic Circle, not least of which is the wildlife. Svalbard, located halfway between Norway and the North Pole, is the land of polar bears, arctic foxes, reindeer, walruses, seals, minke whales, orca and more. With Ponant you’ll sail through the archipelago’s many scenic fjords as you seek out glimpses of those incredible animals, as well as visiting Spitsbergen, the archipelago’s only permanently populated island — home to just 2500 residents.
Or you could choose a trip that sails up the coast of Greenland, a land of dramatic icebergs and colourful villages. There, you’ll have the chance to meet the local population and learn about the local Inuit culture, as well as getting a view of the northern hemisphere’s largest icebergs. Ponant can even take you inside the curve of Uummannaq Bay, opposite a narrow passage between two islands, where you will discover the moonscape of the small, rarely seen desert island of Akulleq.
Do it in style
It’s not just what’s outside that will wow you on a Ponant cruise. With maximum capacity of just 264 guests, life on board is a luxury experience that feels more like travelling on a private yacht.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner are all luxury affairs, with on-board French chefs crafting high-end menus every day.
And best of all, with only small groups on board, your serenity is guaranteed. Because when it comes to travel, boutique really is better.
