Starting with Winter 2024-2025 departures, PONANT will offer guests one included excursion per port of call.
In Winter 2024-25, the small-ship line is offering 17 different itineraries with 32 departures. Now included, immersive excursion experiences include sailing the Arabian fjords aboard a traditional dhow boat; learning how the Panama Canal was built through expert-led talks; embarking on a Northern Lights expedition in the Arctic; or marveling at Buddha statues within Sri Lanka’s Dambulla Cave Temple.
PONANT says its included excursions initiative is part of a commitment to purposeful travel, allowing guests to dive deeper into local culture and heritage, challenge their sense of adventure through thrilling excursions, drive their curiosity through artistic programming, and inspire their sense of wonder by pondering spectacular natural landscapes.
As capacities are limited, pre-booking will open around two months before departure, and requests will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis, subject to availability.
For those who would like to get even further off the beaten track or experience more exclusive activities, optional paid excursions will also be offered for each departure.
