PONANT EXPLORATIONS & WHOI Partnership

Unlike other partnerships, the WHOI collaboration is designed to be a living, evolving platform for science education, impact, and discovery. Guests are not only travelers but active contributors to ocean science. Every element reinforces our mission to transform curiosity into stewardship.

WHOI’s partnership includes demonstrations, and delving into other science initiatives through interactive guest programming —far beyond traditional lectures.

With the new PONANT x WHOI programming, guests will have the opportunity to observe the research process firsthand, visit the ship's wet and dry laboratories, and participate in educational presentations about Antarctica's geological history, global climate significance, and fragile ecosystems.

Additional WHOI expeditions, research projects, technology testing and educational programs will be announced in the coming months, continuing to unite exploration, research and responsible travel.
