NEW YORK — PONANT EXPLORATIONS has released its 2025-2026 “Inspiring Voyages” brochure, showcasing 122 all-inclusive journeys available across its fleet from June 2025 through April 2026.
The brochure highlights a diverse range of global destinations, including 45 voyages exploring the Caribbean and Central America, as well as 33 expeditions to Antarctica. The program offers immersive itineraries covering all seven continents, with travel experiences across the Atlantic Isles, the Mediterranean, North America, Scandinavia, Asia and Oceania, including the Pacific Islands of Polynesia.
“The journey with PONANT EXPLORATIONS begins with the curiosity to explore the unknown,” said Susan Robison, Vice President of Marketing and Communications for PONANT EXPLORATIONS in the Americas. “Our new brochure is designed to stir wanderlust, weaving together the rich histories of legendary explorers with the personal stories of modern-day adventurers and scientists. The 100-page brochure invites guests to dream of transformational experiences only possible with PONANT EXPLORATIONS.”
ANTARCTIC & THEMED VOYAGES
One of the key features of this collection is the inclusion of sub-Antarctic expeditions aboard Le Commandant Charcot, the world’s first and only luxury icebreaker. The ship’s Polar 2 (PC2) classification allows it to venture deeper into Antarctica’s ice-covered regions and surrounding seas, offering guests unparalleled access to the continent.
Additionally, the brochure showcases several Expert-Led Themed Voyages. These curated experiences focus on Food and Wine, World Affairs, a Confluence of Cultures, and Music. Renowned international experts join guests on board to offer valuable insights, lectures, and engaging presentations. These voyages are designed for English-speaking guests, with select itineraries, such as the Epicurean Delights of Sicily and the Adriatic Coast of Italy, also available in French.
GRAND VOYAGES, OCEAN VOYAGES & SMITHSONIAN JOURNEYS
Among the brochure highlights are three Grand Voyages, which offer extensive, immersive journeys lasting between 26 and 35 days. These include explorations of Indonesia and Papua New Guinea, the Mediterranean Archipelagos, and Africa’s West Coast, as well as the Southern Caribbean and Central America.
Two non-stop Ocean Voyages between Lisbon and Buenos Aires, and between Dakar and Fort-de-France, offer the ideal opportunity for travellers who enjoy the rhythm of the open sea, combined with the indulgent comforts of PONANT EXPLORATIONS’ ships.
In collaboration with Smithsonian Journeys, PONANT EXPLORATIONS is offering five voyages with two Smithsonian experts onboard to provide enrichment and in-depth insight.
