With its lands bathed in sunshine, its crystal-clear waters and its legendary sites, the Mediterranean is an ideal destination for both lovers of art and history and fans of leisurely relaxation. Be in awe of azure blue skies, and generous sunshine that makes the sea sparkle and sets the rocks ablaze. Vestiges left by centuries of history, cities and towns of art and culture, little coves with crystal clear waters—everything in the Mediterranean combines to create a cruise devoted to pleasure.

Embark on a beautiful getaway in the Mediterranean with PONANT.

1

Indulge in la dolce vita

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.

2

Rediscover an emblematic destination through new experiences

Go off the beaten track and take advantage of exclusive ports of call. Snorkel in Malta’s idyllic island of Comino, whose blue lagoon, renowned for its turquoise waters, 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. This is how our itineraries in the Mediterranean combine unique experiences and classic destinations to create magical moments.

Visit UNESCO World Heritage Sites

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.

Embark on modern and environmentally friendly small ships

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.

Be spoiled with exceptional service

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.
