As interest in solo travel reaches new highs, PONANT EXPLORATIONS GROUP has announced that it is waiving single supplements on voyages so guests can explore the world’s most remote frontiers without the added price tag.

As one of the only luxury cruise lines to waive a single supplement, PONANT allows voyagers the opportunity to travel solo or with a group of friends, allowing each guest their own stateroom personal space.

With its French-style flair, expert-led programming, and sustainable small-ship fleet, PONANT EXPLORATIONS invites solo travelers to curate their luxury journeys without breaking the bank.

More than 160 cruises offer solo staterooms at any given time. Once-in-a-lifetime expeditions include The Geographic North Pole aboard the world’s only luxury icebreaker, Le Commandant Charcot sailing in July and August 2026 and Journey to Astral Lands and Valdes Peninsula February and March 2026 aboard the sister ships Le Boréal, L’Austral and Le Lyrial).

Anthony Daniels, General Manager for UK and Ireland at PONANT EXPLORATIONS said in a statement, “Solo travellers often seek introspection, and the polar regions provide unmatched stillness, vastness and personal space – with no compromise on comfort.”

He added, “Equally, with as few as 132 guests, PONANT EXPLORATIONS’s small ships make it easy to meet like-minded travellers on curated excursions and shared experiences. The value of all-inclusive pricing, expert-led excursions and seamless logistics also offer true peace of mind and clarity for solo bookers.”
