5 Reasons to Cruise the Mediterranean with PONANT

Allow yourself to be caught up in the Mediterranean’s rhythm. Take its tempo and appreciate its gentle way of life, savor the varied flavors of its epicurean delights, learn from the locals who express themselves with their hands and bask in its long sunny days.

Go off the beaten track and discover our ports of call. Snorkel in Malta’s idyllic island of Comino, whose blue lagoon rivals the finest Caribbean beaches. Visit the charming Greek island of Hydra which can only be explored by foot. Paddle a kayak along the fortifications of Dubrovnik, an intimate encounter that you will never forget. Our itineraries in the Mediterranean combine unique experiences and classic destinations to create memories to last a lifetime.

Going on a cruise in the Mediterranean means being able to admire the Acropolis of Athens, the theater of Epidaurus, the sacred island of Delos, the ancient city of Nessebar, the archaeological ruins of Delphi, the medieval city of Rhodes, the historic centers of Valletta, Dubrovnik, Kotor or Syracuse, the remains of Pompeii, Rome, or Venice. So many preserved gems and unmissable sites.

Our yacht-like small ships are equipped with state-of-the-art technologies that guarantee the safety of our guests and limit our impact on the environment. We have implemented a series of measures aimed at reducing our ecological footprint as much as possible in the regions we visit including abandoning heavy fuel oil, conducting environmental impact studies, reducing the average speed of our ships.

Our fleet consists exclusively of small ships, created to accommodate a limited number of guests in a relaxed yet refined atmosphere. This makes it possible to preserve your privacy and offer you the personalized service you’ve come to expect.
