PONANT EXPLORATIONS: Guest Testimonials

Dominique H.

"My most beautiful moment was opening my curtains in my cabin at three in the morning and seeing these magnificent pink-purple icebergs after two days at sea crossing the Drake Passage: it's breathtaking, sublime, magical, exceptional! I only want one thing, and that is to go back there as soon as possible. It's the trip of a lifetime and you have been a big part of this MAGIC! I think about it every day... This wildlife, these landscapes, still make me dream."

Myriam and Guy V.

"Our first trip to the Cyclades aboard the Champlain was an unforgettable experience in more ways than one, as the welcome was warm, the comfort optimal, and the staff very attentive to its passengers. A special mention goes to its Captain, whose personality, listening skills, professionalism, and kindness were appreciated in every way. We are looking forward to experiencing our next two cruises, to Ireland and Italy with Viva Verdi... Pure happiness! Thank you and see you all again soon!."

Michel M.

"Traveling with PONANT is a delight. I always look forward to setting off when I plan a cruise. I am a lover of wide open spaces and sea voyages. It's not the hustle and bustle of summer cruises, but I feel good there. Quiet in the corridors and on the decks, I happily meet other travelers during meals or tea times, and we exchange stories with a glass of Champagne in hand. The aperitifs are a delight, the hostesses and stewards always attentive. What more could one ask for?"
