Adding Adventure to your Close to Home Cruise
An expedition cruise is just like a regular cruise – only better! An expedition cruise is an adventure with like-minded travellers. Along with all the regular PONANT inclusions like delicious meals and a generous open bar, you also have access to a team of experts in the region you are visiting.

Want to know more about the geology of the Kimberley? Have a hankering to snorkel the crystal clear waters of the Raja Ampat? Maybe you just want to sit with King Penguins in the SubAntarctic. All these activities are included when you choose an expedition cruise over a regular ‘classic’ cruise.

You’ll become an expert in zodiac travel. You’ll learn new appreciations of local customs and crafts. You’ll scan the horizon for native birds and wildlife and hike trails that are rarely visited. All these things will turn an average holiday, into an adventure you can’t wait to tell your friends about.

So skip the souvenir shop tour, and join the adventure exploration instead. Really delve into the history, the beauty and incredible opportunity that travel with PONANT on an expedition cruise presents to you.

Take it with both hands and an open heart and discover more of your backyard in a way you never dreamed of, but will always return to…
